大家在找工作面試的時候會不會遇到一些讓你尷尬或心裡不太舒服的問題?有沒有結婚啊,有沒有計劃要小孩啊,生不生二胎啊……公司出於利益考慮當然希望招到一個工作能力強、個人問題少的員工,因此我們的職場氛圍默認了這種問題是可以提的,當然怎麼回答還是看求職者的意願和情商.但在國外,當面試官涉及到諸如此類話題時,其實就已經是觸犯了法律.
找來幾條面試常遇到的問題,同學們可以設身處地想想如果你遇到了會怎麼應答?
▎Are You Married?
說一下你的婚姻狀況?
Anything that fishes for information about a candidate's family plans (marriage, engagement, and child planning) is technically illegal because it falls under pregnancy discrimination. It can often seem like a hiring manager is just making pleasant conversation and trying to get to know you better, but job applicants are not obligated to disclose any personal information. This could also be a subtle way to question someone about their sexual orientation—another protected class.
任何有關求職者家庭觀的問題(結婚，訂婚或是要小孩兒)的提出都是違法的，因為這涉及到孕期工作歧視。面試人員往往會讓這一切看起來只是閒聊，讓你感受到他的`關切和感興趣，同樣，有關性取向的問題也是不可鳥的哈。當然你可以用比較圓滑的方式糊弄過去,這就是體現你情商的時候啦,往往聰明的拒絕比實心實意回答更能給對方留下深刻印象.
▎How Old Are You?
你今年多大?
Lots of applications will stipulate that employees have to be over 18, and that's fine—ensuring their workers are not minors is within a company's rights. But this question becomes problematic when interviewers ask more mature candidates that question, because it's illegal to discriminate against anyone over 40 on the basis of age. If anyone asks, don't feel bad about declining to respond. Recognize that whoever is interviewing you probably already has some sense of your age just from looking at your resume.
招聘時往往會要求求職者年滿十八，我懂——招聘未成年人本來就是違法的。但是我都三十多歲了，你還問我這個問題，你是不是喜歡我啊?當然不是!而且這是違法的!如果被問起，說不想回答也是有底氣的。要知道面試官可能已經對你的年齡有了一些判斷。
▎When Did You Graduate?
你哪年畢業的?
We all know how math works—this is just a not-so-sly way to calculate someone's age. (Feel free to nix the graduation year from your resume, too.) "If the interviewer presses for a reply, you might give him the date and then ask how that applies to your candidacy," Studner says. "And in the final analysis, would you really want to work for a company where the management discriminates against age? It might be better to move on."
誰不知道你這麼問什麼意思——只是拐個彎問年齡罷了。(所以你並不用寫你是什麼時候畢業的)“如果招聘者執意要問，你就告訴他並且詢問畢業時間對於求職的影響，”斯達內說，“在後半部分中，確定這個職業真的和畢業時間早晚是一對不可調和的矛盾嗎。如果是，那麼朝前看吧，會有更好的職業等你的。”
▎How's Your Health?
你的身體健康狀況?
If it's a physically demanding job, employers have a right to ask about specific physical abilities. For example: "This job requires lifting packages up to 30 pounds, or standing on your feet for six hours a day, or talking on the phone at least 80 percent of the time. Is this something you can do on a continuous basis?" But anything that isn't directly related to tasks you'll be performing on the job is personal information that you don't have to—and shouldn't—reveal.
如果這是一項需要體力的工作，招聘這可能會問你如下問題：“工作可能會涉及拎30磅重的包裹，或者一天要站六個小時，或是80%的時間都在講電話。你能堅持做下去嗎?”但是如果健康方面的問題和做任務一點關係都沒有的話，你不用，也不需要回答。
▎What Religion Are You? Do You Observe Any Religious Holidays?
你的信仰是什麼?你信仰的宗教有宗教節日嗎?
It's illegal to discuss your religion in an interview, even if it will affect your need to take time off. It can be awkward to back out of this question if an employer presses the issue, so Studner suggests a polite but firm, "I prefer not to discuss my religion, but I can assure you that it will not interfere with my doing this job."
在面試中談論宗教信仰是不合法律的，儘管這可能有關你的福利。但是由上司提出這件事未免太鬼畜，所以建議你堅定而有禮地回答說：“我更傾向於不談論我的宗教信仰問題，但是我保證我的信仰不會對正常工作造成任何影響。”
