5.1.6 Find a mobility online

Employers have a legitimate interest in knowing applicants well before they hire them.

A job interview is therefore a chance for the interviewer, to find out important information.

Be prepared to answer a lot about yourself but be aware that there are limits to what you really need to answer in order to get a training period. 

Here is a list of questions that are considered inappropriate:

• Questions about your religious beliefs
• Questions about your political convictions
• Questions about your sexuality
• Questions about Trade union activity
• Questions about your health
• Questions about family planning
• Questions about your criminal record
• Questions about possible debts

Answers to any of the questions above, might lead to discrimination against certain candidates, which is why they are illegal.

If you get asked illegal questions, you are allowed to lie, since the interviewer is legally prohibited from asking you these things.

A fair interviewer will never ask such questions though.
