What type of inquiries are considered discriminatory in interviews?

Questions about skills and experience
Inquiries about the candidate's professional goals
Questions regarding age, disabilities, and religion
Inquiries about availability for overtime work

The correct answer is: Questions regarding age, disabilities, and religion

Discriminatory inquiries in interviews are those that hinge on characteristics that are protected by law and have no relevance to a candidate’s ability to perform the job. Questions regarding age, disabilities, and religion are examples of such inquiries because they can lead to discrimination based on these protected traits. Age-related inquiries may suggest bias against older or younger candidates, while questions about disabilities could indicate discrimination against applicants who may require accommodations. Similarly, asking about a candidate's religion can alienate individuals from different backgrounds or belief systems, which is not relevant to their qualifications or job performance. In contrast, questions that focus on skills, experience, professional goals, or availability for overtime are typically necessary for assessing a candidate’s fit for a position. These inquiries relate directly to the competencies needed for successful job performance and do not invoke protected categories that may lead to discrimination.
