It's important to remember that employers are not allowed to ask questions that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. If you are asked an illegal question, you can try to redirect the conversation back to your qualifications and skills for the job. For example, you might say something like: "I'm not comfortable answering that question, but I am excited to talk more about my skills and experiences that make me a strong fit for this position."
