Interviewers -- Don't Ask...
I recently ran across this information that I am sharing with RTs that are conducting interviews. If you are interviewing...
Don't Ask ...
Innocent “ice-breaking” questions such as “Do you have children?” and “Where does your spouse work?” can get you into legal trouble. Interviewers need to stick with work-related questions and have a clear understanding of federal and state laws that relate to employment discrimination. Below is a partial list of subject areas to avoid:
Age
Height/weight
Pregnancy
Religion
Arrests/convictions
Marital status
Parental status
Sexual preference
Gender
Military service
Political beliefs
