Best Answer

There are many different questions. I'll cover the main ones. Never ask if anyone is married, even if they have a wedding ring. Never ask if anyone is dating/seeing someone. Don't ask any race/sex question. Don't ask about children, or if a woman if they are pregnant or how long. Also, never go into any type of religion unless specific to the job.

Any and all off these questions can lead to a law suit for discrimination so it's best to avoid asking any of these. It also goes the same way if you are asked, don't be afraid to tell someone that is an illegal question and you don't have to answer it, or you can tell them nicely that after you are offered the job you will be able to discuss that information.

How do you explane about you in interview?

Depends on what the interview is for. If it is a potential employer they want to know about your educational background if it applies to the position you want. They want to know about volunteering also if it is applicable and any previous jobs you have had in the same field. They don't want personal details like your favourite colour and the name of your cat.

Can you call an employer early to find out where you stand in the interviewing process?

Yes. It's good to give them a few days before calling them. When you reach them, say something like, "Hi. It's (your name), and I had an interview the other day. I'm curious as to if the position has been filled yet." You are entitled to know if the position has been filled or not, and because you're not asking about how appealing you are to the employer, they do not feel pressured. Instead, they see you as a potential candidate because of your interest in the position.
