Illegal Job Interview Questions

Various federal, state, and local laws regulate the questions a prospective employer can ask you. An

employer's questions--on the job application, in the interview, or during the testing process--must b

related to the job for which you are applying. For the employer, the focus must be: "What do I need

know to decide whether or not this person can perform the functions of this job?"

Options for Answering an Illegal Question

You are free to answer the question. If you choose to do so, realize

that you are giving information that is not job-related. You could

harm your candidacy by giving the "wrong" answer. You can refuse

to answer the question. By selecting this option, you'll be withinyour rights, but you're also running the risk of coming off as

uncooperative or confrontational--hardly the words an employer

would use to describe the "ideal" candidate.

Your third option is to examine the intent behind the question and

respond with an answer as it might apply to the job. For instance, if

the interviewer asks, "Are you a U.S. citizen?" or "What country are

you from?," you've been asked an illegal question. Instead of

answering the question directly, you could respond, "I am

authorized to work in the United States." Or, if your interviewer asks, "Who is going to take care of

your children when you have to travel?" you might answer, "I can meet the travel and work schedul

that this job requires."
