Ask Slashdot: How Have You Handled Illegal Interview Topics?

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-got-no-business-getting-into-my-business-interviews dept.

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?"

    I'm a business owner. Are you? You can refuse to believe how I and other business owners feel, but it really is a disincentive to hire when the government puts up obstacles. I'm telling you this is how I feel and act in the real world. You are now free to go back to your fantasy world.

    Thanks for identifying yourself with nutter tags like "Peter Schiff" and "Freedom of Contract".

    The US actually has a much more liberal set of business conditions w.r.t. firing and hiring than most developed countries. It's jackasses like you that are reason for the regulations that we now have.
