<![CDATA[Good article. It's very common to put birthdate on your own CV. Nowadays I don't put it. Over the years only once I've been asked. Then I just said "Oops sorry". It's not an issue for me but just on principle.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment187323"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment187323" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Good tips. But I'm in two minds about the marital status. I was asked "How do I address you - Mrs. or Miss? I guess that is a good way of clarifying how to address. Otherwise being married or not doesn't affect job performance in any way.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment181169"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment181169" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[It's good that people are nowadays more aware. There is so much discrimination around.

<![CDATA[I liked this article. As a recruiter, you need to remember what is illegal as well as unethical though you need to know a lot of things.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment165804"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment165804" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Very informative and good article. Employers should now what they shouldn't ask. Recently I was asked if I plan to have children. Now that is a very sensitive issue, especially for me as I'd just divorced.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment152425"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment152425" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Thanks Paul. Good question you've raised. In larger companies, job application forms are usually checked and ratified by corporate HR and lawyers, so they aim to make these pretty safe for themselves by not asking anything illegal. Privately owned smaller companies might not be aware of the points and request 'illegal' information.<br />
<br />
Recruitment interviews are often semi-structured, so that the interviewer follows a written script or guideline and then can ask other questions freely. This is where attitudes influence the most as you have described. Showing respect is so difficult for some people.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment141462"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment141462" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Does this apply to just a job interview, or an application as well?<br />
I'd be interested to know. The issue of pregnancy is a big one, I think that is among the leading reasons that women are discriminated against in the work place. Employers think they'll just "pop out babies". Its ridiculous.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment141394"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment141394" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[That's a nice article Rana, and very informative. I wish some of the sentences were punctuated more rigorously, just to make reading easier.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment134213"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment134213" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[In Malta they still ask marital status, age and city/town you were born but I have never had any discrimination with those. <br />
<br />
But recently I have read that those kind of questions are no longer going to be asked because some people don't feel comfortable answering them. Imagine a divorced woman going to a job interview just a month after the separation with her husband and being asked about her marital status. Not only is that going to embarrass but might also make the interviewer think that she is not a good candidate.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment133999"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FQuestions-You-Cannot-Ask-At-Job-Interviews.109675%23comment133999" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
