This past week I was thinking about our GenEd Capstone class and I recall a conversation about the importance of having a professional looking personal resume. Owning this resume will allow one to look very professional and hopefully stand out as a job candidate. Which leads me to my next thought, what happens when a person gets an approval for a new job or position? They usually are asked to participate in an interview. I remember always being nervous for job interviews and I had wondered what types of questions the employer would ask me. To prepare for any future job interview I used two sources, a personal interview with an accountant who hires and fires employees and an online source to determine what types of questions and employer may legally as a candidate.
Questions one may ask the interviewee about physical limitations include:
Are you able to perform the tasks necessary to complete this position?
Questions one may ask the interviewee about age include:
Are you over 18? Are you able to meet the minimal age requirements as set by the state for this job position?
Questions one may ask the interviewee about arrest records and convictions include:
Have you ever been convicted of the following crime?
Questions one may not ask the interviewee about physical limitations include:
How strong are you?
Are you handicapped in any way?
Do you have any disabilities?
Questions one may not ask the interviewee about age include:
What is your age?
How old are you?
When did you graduate?
Questions one may not ask the interviewee about arrest records and convictions include:
When was the last time you were arrested?
How many times have you been arrested?
