employment. If you faced with these questions you can choose

issue for my performance in this job."

Questions

There are few questions that illegal to ask
relating to ancestry and race which are pertinent to employment.
·
You have a strong accent. Where are you from?
·
What race do you identify yourself as?
It would be an act of discrimination, if employers
based their hiring decisions on someone’s nationality or their ethnicity. Faced
with questions such as these, you can refuse to answer, stating simply,
"This question does not affect my ability to perform the job."
3. Questions
About Criminal Record
During an interview, an
interviewer can legally ask about any convicted crimes that relate to the job
duties. For example, if you are interviewing for a position that requires
handling money or merchandise, you can legally be asked if you have ever been
convicted of theft. Depending of the type of job you are applying, the employer will usually
do a background check.
During an interview, you cannot
be asked about arrests without convictions, or involvement in any political
demonstrations
You may choose to tell the
interviewer simply, "There is nothing in my past which would affect my
ability to perform the duties of this job.
4. Questions
About Disability
Under no circumstances is a
prospective employer allowed to ask your height, weight, or any details
regarding any physical or mental limitations you may have, for example:
a.
Have you ever been treated for mental disability?
b.
Have you experienced any serious illnesses in the past
year?
c.
Do you have a visual, speech, or hearing disability?
The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) says it is
unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a qualified applicant or
employee with a disability. No employer should ask about your physical or
mental limitations, unless they state it in their job requirements. If you choose to reply, you can
state "I am confident that I will be able to handle the requirements of
this position."
5.
Questions
About Family Status
An interviewer can't ask
·
What is your marital status?
·
Are you pregnant?
·
Do you have children?
·
What is your child care situation?
·
Do you intend to have children (or
more children)?
·
How much does your spouse earn in a
year?
These questions can be too private,
discriminative, and it is not relevant to your job requirements. If you choose
to answer a question of this kind, a graceful way to answer is to say that you
can perform all the duties that the position entails and that you plan to be
very dedicated in your work.
6. Questions About Religion or Belief
A few examples of illegal questions
about belief or religion are:
·
What is your religious
affiliation?
·
Will you need to observe a
religious holiday?
An employer
cannot consider religious belief in any employment action, which in this case
is hiring. It is rude and discriminative to question other people’s belief or
their place of worship. And it is not related to your job or your job
requirements. If you encounter such questions, you can reply by saying that
your belief will not interrupt your ability to do your job.
