Improper & Potentially Illegal Interview Questions

Most state laws prohibit discrimination against persons age 40 and older. As such questions relating to age should be avoided by employers.

Exceptions: Employers may inquire as to the applicant’s age in the following cases

1. To ensure an applicant is “old enough” to perform the job being filled
2. Physically dangerous or hazardous work
3. Driving a school bus

Example of Illegal Question & Legal Alternative

Illegal: How old are you?
Legal: Are you over the age of 21?

Right before an hour X

Transfer parties with drinks for that happy day when you will already have a dream job, do not worry and try to sleep. In advance work a route, count up time for road and add to it half an hour, how call your interviewer - a name-patronymic said correctly and in a right time, will add to you points on interview.

Before interview it is not necessary to be cut or buy new boots - because if you fail you going to be screwed for sure. Dress up with taste - men (except for creative workers) in the European suits, women - too. In case of clothes there is also one rule: it should "pull" on half of prospective salary. That is, if you wish to receive $7000/mo job, put on $ 3500

For documents prepare a separate folder. Before a meeting re-read the resume - for confidence.
