You’ve prepared all night and put on your best suit. You meet with your potential employer, and everything is going great — until he/she asks an inappropriate personal question. State and federal law prohibits hiring based on age, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, marital/family status or disability. According to the Chicago-based law firm Arnstein & Lehr, any inquiry that “asks a candidate to reveal information about such topics without the question having a job-related basis” constitutes as a discriminatory hiring practice. While these questions are not illegal, employers violating these laws face discrimination lawsuits and strict penalties. Anyone on either end of a job interview should recognize these types of questions. Interview questions should focus on your skills, experience and capability to perform the job. Oftentimes, an employer may not recognize a question as inappropriate. Some common examples include: * Are you married? * Do you have kids or are you planning to start a family? * Where are you from? What is your nationality? * What is your religion? * How is your health? * Are you a social drinker or drug user? If these questions do arise, the next step is figuring out how to handle them.
