Illegal Job Interview Questions
Question 96: How many children do you have?
Women with young children have two full-time jobs. Being a mother often requires taking time off from work to meet the children's needs. Asking this illegal question is a means to determine how much time you will be taking off from work and how much your kid will interfere with your work. Employers who ask this question are looking to discriminate against women with young children.
Good answer: "I have two small children ages 4 and 6. My parents, who are retired, live less than a mile from me and care for them while I'm at work. They are also able to care for them if the children get sick and can take them to doctors' appointments and such for me. If I need to work late or go out of town as part of my job, they can care for them. My children will not interfere with my work since I have such good, reliable child care."
