In general, employers should only ask you questions about bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQ) – or questions related to whether you would be able to perform the job and how you will handle certain employment challenges. Employers should not ask you about your race, sex, national origin, age, and religion. This means that employers should not ask questions about your membership in any organizations, clubs, and societies (such as social, religious, or political groups) that may indicate race, sex, national origin, age, or religion.
