Ask Slashdot: How Have You Handled Illegal Interview Topics?

kodiaktau writes "Salary.com profiles 14 questions that interviewers may or may not ask during the interview process such as the standards of age, gender and sexual orientation. They also profile several lesser known illegal or border line questions like height/weight, military background, country of origin and family status. With the recent flap over companies asking potential employees for passwords during the interview process it is important to know and review your legal rights before entering the interview. Have you been confronted with borderline or illegal interview questions in the past? How have you responded to those questions?"

In Black & White? Then your SSC is a forgery or a copy, not legal for employment. Since the 1980s all SSC have been on blue paper and the not for identity has been in blue ink, al least every one I've seen (I did I-9 verification to prove legal status at a previous job, under "other duties as assigned") We had employees aged from 18 to 70+
