Happy hump day ladies and gentlemen! What a Wednesday it is! After a few massive weeks, we have gone short and sweet today to talk about what you can and can't be asked in an interview. As we learned in our research, it is a super blurry and subjective topic (which means it is hard to definitively say that a line of questioning is unlawful or not allowable), but we give you some real world examples and talk about some techniques to use if an employer puts you on the spot!
Happy interviewing pals!
