Dodgy Questions In An Interview

If you have an upcoming inteview, then you should be aware that there are certain types of questions that the interview is not allowed to ask you.

For instance, they can not distinguish you from the competition on the basis of your race, your age, whether or not you are married, your sexuality or your political views.

Now, most interview panels won’t ask you about this directly, but they can ask you in a roundabout way.

For instance, they might ask what your spouse does for a living or what your child care arrangements are.

These are tricky as they seem relatively innocent, just note the wording of the question and write it down afterwards. You may need your record of events if you are going to contest the decision at a later date.
