@anna..papalia: Would you walk out? In a job interview it’s illegal for an interviewer to ask questions about; age, marital status, disability status, religion, arrest record and whether or not you are a citizen.   Here are 3 options for answering illegal interview questions.   1 Answer it. If you think the interviewer was simply trying to get to know you, and naively asked the question, you can choose to answer. Consider the intent of the question. For example, was the interviewer asking about your birthplace because he or she grew up in the same area and is trying to get to know you? If you’re comfortable answering, then it’s fine to do so. 2 Side-step it. You could discretely refuse to answer the question but address the concerns that they raise. For example, if your interviewer asks you whether or not you have children, he or she might really be getting at whether your family responsibilities would interfere with the frequent travel that the job requires. You could respond by saying something like “I can assure you that my personal life will not interfere with my professional responsibilities.” 3 Question the relevance. You can ask your interviewer how the question relates to the position you’re interviewing for. This may alert them to the inappropriate nature of their question. If you feel that they are asking an inappropriate or discriminatory question, you can refuse to answer their question and either try changing the subject, or you could choose to excuse yourself from the interview.   #illegalinterviewquestions #hrtips #jobinterview #jobsearchstrategy #interviewprep #career
