* Do you know 5 questions HR legally cannot ask you in a job interview?
1. Your age? 2. Marital Status? 3. Your religion? 4. Your kids? 5. Your origin (where are you from)?
* But what should you do if they are brought up in a job interview?
Stay calm, professional, and confident while gently steering the conversation back to your qualifications and values.
A strong response would be: "I'm excited about the opportunity to work here and would love to focus on my professional background, which includes [relevant experience]. I'm happy to answer any questions about how I can contribute to your team."
Have a nice day! Good luck to anyone who is going to have a job interview
Reference:
Leigh Henderson, an HR expert of 20 years, says if you're asked about your age during an interview, say "I prefer to focus on my qualifications."
