What are illegal questions? Give an example. Next, explain what you might do when asked an illegal question during an interview.
What will be an ideal response?
Illegal questions are those questions that are off-limits during the interview process. That is, there are certain types of questions that an interviewer is not allowed to ask. These questions can be questions about race, religion, disability, marital status, age, and gender. An example of an illegal question is “Do you have kids?” or “Are you married?” There is no one right way to handle illegal questions. The best case scenario is that no illegal questions are asked. If you are asked an illegal question, a possible approach would be to ask for clarification as to how that information is relevant to the current position for which you are interviewing.
