Interview questions

It is against the law to ask another person for information which could be used to discriminate against them. This includes interview questions. Keep job interview questions relevant. Questions should directly relate to a person's ability to do the job.

For example: "What are your childcare arrangements?" is discriminatory, whereas "This job requires long hours and some travel. How flexible are you with regard to overtime or out of hours activity?" seeks the necessary information in a non-discriminatory way.
