Strange interview: Uncomfortable questions from an elderly dentist
このQ&Aのポイント
Technically speaking, it’s not illegal to ask these questions during a job interview, although it is illegal to base hiring decisions off of their answers, which is why most good employers don’t ask them—no point.
Should I inform the receptionist about the inappropriate interview questions?
Understanding the legality and potential consequences of asking personal questions during a job interview.

Q. Strange interview: I had an interview this week with a very small, local dentist office. I was called for an interview for an office-manager type job. The man who interviewed me, who is also the dentist, was probably around 80 years old and was asking me very uncomfortable questions. He asked if I was married, did I have kids, what church I go to, do I have anything wrong with me physically, and a lot more deeply personal questions. I am obviously not taking this job because it would be a horrible fit, but I’m a little worried about him. If he interviewed someone and they aren’t as easygoing as me, he could get in trouble for asking these questions, right? He does have a receptionist, should I call her and give her a head’s up about the kinds of things he was asking me and suggest that he needs to knock it off? I don’t think there was any malicious intent, I just think he might be unaware how dangerous it is to ask these kinds of things. Any advice would be great!

it is illegal to base hiring decisions off of their answersはどのような意味でしょうか？あと、no point.は「意味がない」でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
１。it is illegal to base hiring decisions off of their answersはどのような意味でしょうか？
（変な質問への）答えから、雇用の基準にするのは違法である。（個人の秘密に関する質問をして）それに対する回答を基準にして採否を決めるのは法律に反する。
２。あと、no point.は「意味がない」でしょうか？
「（結果が使えないのだからそういう質問をするのは）意味がない」ということでしょう。
