From TechRepublic. These seem to be aimed at the tech crowd (natch) but apply broadly as well.
- Where were you born? (I think "where do you live" applies as well)
- What is your native language?
- Are you married? (Legal in Europe)
- How old are you? (Legal in Europe)
- Do you have children?
- Do you plan to get pregnant?
- What's your religion?
- Do you have a disability or illness?
- Are you in the National Guard?
- Do you smoke or use alcohol?
I think some people ask these questions inadvertently, even as offhand/small talk before or after the interview. Often tough to respond with "that's an illegal question," calling out your potential future employer. Best to deflect with humor I think - if the line of questioning persists, then you know something's up. However, seems near impossible for anyone to argue that they didn't get a job based on not responding to an illegal question.
