6 Types Of Illegal Interview Questions To Watch Out For: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/sMMPdkYCs74 Illegal interview questions pop up all the time during interviews, and responding the wrong way can cost you the job. If you’re asked these questions, it’s best to be prepared so you don’t get flustered during the interview. Here’s the reality... You’re going to have to make a tough decision if you get asked an illegal interview question, which is A) not answering it and calling the interviewer out, or B) answering it even though it’s not appropriate. If you’re asked an interview question that’s blatantly illegal, you can always say something like, “You know, I’m not comfortable answering that question because it’s technically an illegal interview question. Can we move on from that and go on to the next question?” However, this approach will pretty much guarantee that you won’t get the job, so be careful. Unless you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, it’s usually best to avoid this approach. If you suspect that the interviewer simply doesn’t know any better or would like to give him or her the benefit of the doubt, you can do the following instead: Ask if it’s relevant to the job. If you’re asked an illegal interview question, you can subtly stand your ground by asking why it’s relevant to the job. You can say, “I’d be happy to answer your question, but I’m not sure how it relates to the job. Would you care to explain so I can answer it as best as possible?” That way, your interviewer has the opportunity to explain his or her reasoning behind the question or move away from it if he or she realizes that it’s illegal. Keep your it short and sweet. If you’re asked an illegal interview question, keep your response short and to the point. Avoid giving away too many details, if possible. The more information you provide, the higher chance they will be used against you. Read between the lines. If an interviewer asks questions about your personal and family life like, “Do you have any children?” it could be that your interviewer is just inexperienced and trying to make small talk. However, it could also be that the interviewer is trying to judge your priorities and commitment to your work. If he or she is worried that you’ll have to have a special schedule that allows you to pick up the kids from school or juggle other personal responsibilities, questions like this might pop up. If you’re asked something like this, read between the lines and figure out what the interviewer is really trying to find out. If you sense he or she is concerned about your commitment to the job, frame your response accordingly. For example, you could say something like, “Yes, I do have two children. However, I can assure you that my obligations outside of work will not interfere with my commitment to the job.” Dealing with illegal interview questions is never easy. However, it’s best to be prepared so you can handle the situation with a level head. _______________________________________ Work It Daily offers access to affordable job search and career development resources to help professionals from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life.
