How to Handle Inappropriate Job Interview Questions

Over at Lifehacker, there’s a discussion of inappropriate-yet-common interview questions compiled from readers’ experiences. They’re grouped into several types:

• Brain teasers (possibly to see how you think);
• Personal questions (often approaching or crossing the line of what’s legal);
• Seemingly unrelated (testing something other than a job skill).

The useful takeaways: tactics for responding to these questions and steering the interview back to your qualifications for the job.
