Hello,
I'm in California.
I recently was called over to the home of the lady to meet about a job I had inquired about.. I was told to bring a resume.
The second question she asked me was whether I smoked or not?
I told her I was in the process of quitting.. and she abruptly cut me off. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 3 months but I don't consider that "quit" yet... Anyways, she started talking about how cigarettes make her sick etc etc before I could even tell her that I pretty much do not smoke anymore.
After that she seemeed pretty much blocked off and the interview abruptly ended.
My question is.. Can I call her back and tell her I don't appreciat the way she talked to me in my interview and that in the future she shouldn't discriminate because it's illegal?
Id like to know what the legal code or term for this is so I can recite it to her and scare her a little bit.. because her behavior during interviewing me was ridiculous and she wasted so much of my time.. I don't want her to feel like she can get away with this crap from now on.
Thank you.
