Answer to Question 1
An applicant can respond to illegal interview questions that occur because of lack of training or an accidental slip in one of the following ways:
You may refuse to answer and inform the interviewer that the question is improper. This response carries the risk of offending or embarrassing the interviewer.
You may answer the question knowing that it is illegal and that your answer is not related to the job requirements. This response may help keep you as a contender for the job, but you may feel that you have compromised important principles.
You may answer the legitimate concern that probably lies behind the illegal questions. This response is more effective because you have addressed the job-related issue without offending the interviewer or appearing to be hostile toward the interviewer.
You may answer such a question with a question, such as Why do you ask? or Do you think that would affect my job performance?
Answer to Question 2
Be prepared to list five or six key points about yourself that you want to emphasize, such as your education, ability to learn, your experiences, and your interpersonal skills. Be prepared to answer standard interview questions, such as why you want the job, why you want to work for the organization, and why the company should want you. Be prepared to answer behavioral questions and demonstrate logical thinking and creativity. Show a professional attitude, and be ready to discuss salary and benefits.
