Steer clear of these 10 illegal job interview questions

[mitchwah]

sige, ibutang ta nga illegal jud na nga mga questions, alangan muingon tag "next question please" or "no comment"... unsa ka artista. hehe

[widolgoil]

if dili pd ka mu tubag sa question, the interviewer would think u have something to hide...mao na murag apiki dawaton...esp diri sa pinas ana jd...hehehe

[arnolfu]

Usual questions ang uban ana diri sa Pinas. It's not illegal here.

[dazednconfused]

like unsaon mn nmu ang interviewer if mangutana cya to any fo te questons above?
would you discuss about legal issues? mura d jd tngali ka madawat ani ug samot..

[chuBBynix]

illegal lagi pero lax ra man sad kaayo ang system sa pilipinas oi... so kung mureklamo ka ani na wa ka nadawat for the reson that u refuse to answer the discriminationg questions that are thrown at u during interview or wa ka nadawat kay because sa imong answers wla man pud mahimo kay d pa man ta connected sa ila... ida ut pa lang ta ani... tsk3x...

i like this blog.very informative.i would take note of those questions and magbantay ko if ever mo ask sila og questions nako like those on the list during the interview.since it's only an interview and if it seems that the questions are irrelevant for the position that one is applying for,i think we have the right to decline to answer the question.

haha nagkatawa man ko sa question 1,2,3 and 6 cuz mostly naa man ni sa resume nga mga details.

or maybe dili lang pud mo read ang HR sa resume. hehe ^_^

dapat ani naay addition question.

#11: What is your gender?

haha! lolz

I think some portions of this are only applicable in multinational companies gathering a multinational workforce.

actually, we ask to confirm..not that we didn't read. At times, it's more than the words in your answers, but in your delivery..

anyway, issue on legality of some of these questions are applicable in other countries only, like in the US..here, you may not find it in our laws. If you think the question is irrelevant to the position, respond accordingly.. it's up to your discretion.

Naa unta law ana diri.... Well see sooner or later...


#12 What is your name? <- Mura grade 1 or kinder...

[Forgotten-Isle]

these are illegal in the US to ask.. but not in the philippines...

if you notice we cannot compete japan because they prioritized job opening to seniors rather than newbie. quality can only be achieve with the skilled not the unskilled personnel. age discrimination is the number one factor why we have a low quality output because we tolerate our product to be training ground for the newbie.

i believe this is a good practice.

[emailroy2002]

these are just guidelines for an HR, not the other way around, most HR wont ask these, but some who just wants to know something out of curiosity, ask this...

I think its acceptable to defer answering those personal questions.

I think the HR find it professional if you don't talk small talk...

[dhemps]

I think it depends on the pattern of asking also. sabton na lang sad nato nga dli pwede mutabaho ang masakiton sa mga institution nga sanitary is number one priority, kay maglikay sa dakong gubot puhon ba, and we should also know the reason of why HR is asking these questions, as we all know naay daghan rason ngano gipangutana ni dili kay discrimination ra most of the time valid ni siya, and me also is asking this for some reasons, not just discriminating them....

[COMCAM]

the way those questions are asked, it does not uncover the true character of the person
