Handling Illegal Questions

Post

All questions should be job-related. Questions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, birthplace, age, or physical disability may not be asked. If you are asked an illegal question, evaluate the interviewer’s intent; trust your instincts and respond in a calm tone by saying:  

“My qualifications for this job seem to meet your needs. How does this question relate to my ability to do the job?”
