Which of the following is not an area of questioning appropriate for the employer to ask a job applicant?
A. work experience
B. hours available to work
C. birth date
D. Social Security number
E. licenses/certifications
C. birth date
Questions concerning one's Social Security number, qualifications (including license or certificate), and job experience are proper, and they should be answered as thoroughly and truthfully as possible. While asking about hours available to work, an employer should be cautious in the way the question is asked so as not to inadvertently ask an illegal question. For example, asking "Are you available to work 8 AM until 5 PM Monday through Friday" is okay. Asking the candidate if he or she has child care so that they may work Monday through Friday is not appropriate. Questions about age or birth dates are not legal.
