5. What’s Your Religion?
Religion is another protected category that should never be broached in a job interview. Employers asking, “Do you go to church?” or inquiring about religious practices tread into dangerous territory.
Candidates can navigate this with grace by redirecting the question back to the logistics of the role. For instance, if an interviewer asks about religious holidays, respond with, “Could you clarify the company’s policies on holidays? I’m flexible and eager to align with the team’s needs.”
