Interviews: How to Handle Uncomfortable Questions
Gender and Sexuality Services is partnering up with Human Resources at IIT to present a workshop on interview questions and how to handle situations when an employer may ask an inappropriate or even illegal question, especially about marital status, sexual orientation, and other related topics – especially if you still want the job. We encourage you to attend this workshop if you’re concerned about such situations or have had this happen to you in the past.
