QUESTION FROM A SUBSCRIBER:
I recently had an interview where the man asked me What 3 people living or dead would I have dinner with. Honestly I answered the question. From that he stated, “Oh, you’re a democrat”. Then he asked me what books I was reading, one I pointed out was a self help book, he asked “What kind of self help book?” Are these questions legal? - D.A.
Dear D.A.,
I’m not a lawyer so I can’t give legal advice. But my understanding is that those interview questions would not in themselves be illegal. It is not legal to discriminate against someone when making a hiring decision on the basis of their membership in a protected class (such as race, sex, sexual orientation, age, etc.).
It is often difficult to prove such things, especially if it is an isolated incident and just your word against theirs. If you do feel you were discriminated against in an illegal way, you should consult an attorney and/or the EEOC (www.eeoc.gov). The EEOC will usually, at the minimum, let you file a complaint against the company. This way if they start to see an unusually high number of complaints against a particular firm, that may be considered evidence of unfair hiring practices.

Choosing a career that does not suit your personality can lead to confusion, unhappiness and boredom. People seek to find a career that best suits their natural traits and talents. When your work lets you realize your true potential and utilize your talents to the fullest, only then can you be satisfied with your career.

Career testing has become a very popular way of “discovering ourselves” and our abilities. However, many people tend to accept their test results as the absolute gospel truth about themselves and their occupations.
This in a way can be a very dangerous assumption and especially for individuals who are desperately seeking some direction in life.
My advice to this is that, even though it may be what you want to hear, you need to be somewhat cautious of your test results.
