List of illegal questions

1. When are you planning to have children?

  • Why is it illegal:
Sex is a federally protected class, which means an employer cannot discriminate against a male or female job applicant. If the interviewer has a certain concern about the interviewee's ability to do their job such as travel or work time, the question should be directly about job-related responsibilities.
  • How to answer:
"Having a child is not my priority right now, and I can asure you to not have any worries, for that won't affect any of my work performances"

2. Do you have any physical or mental disabillites?

  • Why is it illegal:
It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a qualified interviewee or employers with a disability as stated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). it is considered to be illegal when the question is asked before making a job offer and to only a particular interviewee with an obvious disability.
  • How to answer:
"Thankfully I don't have any, and I believe that it will not be a concern in the future"

3. What is your religion affiliation?

  • Why is it illegal:
Monster Worldwide Inc stated that religious discrimination is prohibited, so employers are barred from basing hiring decisions on a person's religious beliefs, observance, or practices.
  • How to answer:
 "I believe that my beliefs won't matter to the job that I'm applying"

4. How old are you?

  • Why is it illegal:
A company always has the legal right to make sure you're old enough to work for them, but other than that, they aren't supposed to ask your age (especially if you're older than 40). This question might seems harmless, but it is designed to figure out your age. in the same vein, they can't ask when you plan to retire. it's just another way of determining how many years they might get out of you (as stated in lifehacker)
  • How to answer:
"I believe that my age won't be an issue for my job performance"

5.  Have you ever used drugs in the past?

  • Why is it illegal:
As stated by lifehacker, the word "drugs" can mean anything from illegal narcotics to prescription drugs, so it's not clear to begin with. Moreover, It is explained by ADA Policy Director Chris Kuczynski that an employer can't ask about your past use unless it was perhaps tied into a crime you were convicted of (forcing you to mention it). And even then, it's a random subject to bring up without a good reason.
  • How to answer:
"I'm free from illegal narcotics and I won't  use any of it that will disrupt my work here"
