When your interviewer asks an improper question

(Refer to this post for examples of improper questions)
If you are asked an inappropriate or illegal question, you have to make a choice about how to respond. In many cases, the best thing to do when you encounter an inappropriate question is to direct the conversation towards a discussion of your abilities as they relate to the position.

For example, if you are asked, “who will take care of your children when you need to take a late shift?” You can sidestep the question and say, “the job ad stated that this job required working late shifts 25% of the time, and I am fully available to do this”.

Consultant

by Andrea

Employment for consultant interviews is unlike to the staffing that is conceded for other grades. The Trust is no longer employing someone who will be passing for a few years (and in some cases a few months) but a long term benefit who will be able to work within the existing structure to help endow with the best service to patients by captivating pertinent initiatives and by co-operating with other colleagues. In reality, they are recruiting a colleague over a doctor. For that reason, advisor interviews are as a great deal in carrying out in measuring your personality as they are a tool in determining your amount of resourcefulness, consciousness and enthusiasm.Â

Improper interview questions

An employer’s primary interest should be the applicant’s ability to do a good job for the organization. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, and national origin. As such, the following questions are inappropriate for an interviewer to ask (note that some of these questions, such as medical history and age, are naturally part of the information you need to supply to your employer or their insurance company AFTER you are hired, but not before).

Where were you born?
When were you born?
Are you an American citizen?
Is your spouse Caucasian/Hispanic/African American/Asian, etc?
What language is spoken in your home?
What religious holidays will you be taking off from work?
Are you straight or gay?
How many kids do you have? What kind of child care arrangements have you made?
Is your spouse employed? How much does he/she make?
What is your medical history? Do you have a handicap?
Do you take any prescription drugs?
How many sick days did you take last year?
Do you smoke or drink alcohol?

The following questions are okay:

Are you eligible to work in the United States?
What languages do you speak, read, or write fluently?
Are you over the age of 18?
Can you work on Saturdays/Sundays? Can you work overtime?
Will you be able and willing to travel as needed for this job?
What are the names of relatives already employed by the company or a competitor?
Can you perform the specific duties of the job?
Do you take illegal drugs?
