It is normal that during job interviews, the employer will try to gather as much information as possible about you, but keep in mind that it is against the law for the employer to ask about or bring up certain topics. Keep an ear open for possible illegal interview questions. Sometimes this might be hard to catch, as they are usually pretty simple and common questions. FEHA (California Fair Employment and Housing Act) declared that topics are that off-limits can fall under:<\/span><\/p>\n These interview questions can take in the form as:<\/span><\/p>\n Though seemingly innocent questions, these questions are not legal as they can make the interviewee subject to discrimination. FEHA (applies to companies with five or more employees) prohibits employers from asking interview questions related to any of these topics, either it be during an in-person interview or in an application form. Questions about physical ability are permitted when the job being applied involves physical activities, and the employer would need to know if the applicant would be physically able to do certain tasks. This also applies to the rest of the mentioned illegal interview topics as well. These laws were implemented to ensure that the employer would make hiring decisions based on characteristics that really mattered, such as skills, experience, and attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo Credit: Shutterstock\/ Africa Studio<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is normal that during job interviews, the employer will try to gather as much information as possible about you, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,274],"tags":[24,37],"class_list":["post-1402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-discrimination","category-employment","tag-discrimination","tag-interview"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
