What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Is there a tactful way to respond to discriminatory questions during the interview process? I have been asked: How old are you? (BIG ONE) Are you a Christian? (Yes, really -- at a legal firm.)
... and countless personal questions about my home life and family situation.
I realize that a lot of the questions that I am being asked are illegal ... but at the same time, almost every potential employer I am bumping up against asks them. Can someone please advise me as to an appropriate response that shows that I want the job, but that I am exercising discretion in responding to the question?
