Bernice landed a job interview with a company she was really interested in. During the interview, the male interviewer began to talk about the importance of planning for the future
He described the future as tentative
and talked about how one's personal goals can alter one's professional
goals. He then paused and asked Bernice about her personal goals. Which
of the following statements best applies to this example?
A. Not overtly asking Bernice for details of her personal life was a clever,
ethical way for the interviewer to find out what kind of employee
Bernice would make.
B. If he'd asked Bernice direct questions about her sexuality, marital status,
and future parenting plans, it would have been unethical and illegal; as
is, he committed no breach of ethics.

sexual harassment in this situation.
D. Even though the interviewer didn't ask specific personal questions, his
behavior (i.e., leading the applicant to reveal personal information) was
still unethical.
