Hey, everyone, this is Self made Millennial. I'm Madeline Mann. Today I'm going to teach you this one phrase that is so good at shutting down those illegal interview questions. You know those iffy job interview questions you sometimes get where they're asking about your marital status, your family, your age, your graduation years. Sometimes they ask your Social Security number, your credit score, and you're like, that is tmi. Now, you don't want to sound like too much of a square when they ask you this. Like, that information is not important to the duties of the role. That's actually an okay response. That's not getting to the goal of building relationship with this person and getting to the next round of interviews. So I've come up with a way to do it a little bit more gracefully. So here is a phrase you should use to respond to these questions. And stick around though, because then I'm going to also tell you the follow up phrase that you should use if they still keep pushing for you to give this information. So here it is. I am happy to provide the pertinent personal information and documentation you need once an offer is presented. One more time. I am happy to provide the pertinent personal information and documents you need once an offer is presented. This is a graceful way of letting them know, okay, that's a little bit out of the scope of what we need to be talking about. But that, I'm not gonna be cagey about it. I will reveal information. Because you actually will. If you get an offer, they're gonna ask for all of your information, all of your tax forms and all that stuff. It's gonna have your age, marital status, all that stuff. Even if they're super casual about it. Like, they're like, oh, we have great benefits for parents. Do you have kids? I would say something like, wow, that's so great that you all prioritize family so much. I will be more than happy to share some of my pertinent personal information if we end up getting to an offer stage. So stay super positive. Don't assume that they're bad people for asking you that inappropriate question, even though they really should not be asking you that. But let's say they press on, right? They're like, oh, no, we really need your Social Security number. And so here's what you should say in response to that. I'm unfamiliar with companies requiring that information at this stage. Could you walk me through your whole interview process as well as, like, other information you need from candidates? So don't get angry, get curious, dig in. Why do you need this information? Maybe it's a really unique situation. I don't know. But make sure you learn and to not just give out this personal information, because that can lead to serious biases in the interview process. So is it illegal for me to ask you all to like this video as well as subscribe to this channel? Hello? If you're new, like, you know, you show up here, how are you ever gonna find this channel again? You gotta hit subscribe. New videos every. Thank you so much, everyone. Wi Fi. High five.
