Great Performance !

Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “Please give us the name, address, and telephone number of your nearest relative whom we should notify in the event of an emergency.”

Asking for the name of a relative could become the basis of a legal action for discrimination based on national origin, race, or even marital status.

The employer can’t ask for a relative’s name; limit this request to the name of “someone to contact in the event of an emergency.” The candidate may provide the name of a relative in response to the question, of course.

Club Memberships

Examples of inappropriate questions include these: “What clubs do you participate in regularly?”; “List all the lodges, societies, and clubs to which you belong.”

Unless you can demonstrate that this information is somehow related to the essential functions of the job, it’s best to avoid this line of questioning completely. Club memberships may indicate the race, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry of its members; that information can become the basis of a discrimination action by an unsuccessful candidate.
