Illegal Interview Questions

Here are some samples of illegal questions, meaning, the interviewer should not ask:- How old are you? When were you born? These questions should be avoided, because the state law prohibits so, as they discriminate persons above 40 years of age and� older. However, an age inquiry may be made to make sure that the person is of the necessary age to handle the job. Examples are for school bus drivers, or where there is an age equirement for such job.- Question of Marital and Family Status. � Sometimes, employers want to see immediately if the interviewee is a case of absenteeism or tardiness. This is generally targeted to women. If the employer is concerned about work attendance, the question can be reworded to �Are there incidents that would interfere with your regular attendance?”
