[QUOTE="donna723, post: 519886, member: 1883"] I remember interviewing for jobs back when I was very young before all these laws were passed. They could and DID ask you darned near anything, especially if you were a woman. Anything was fair game. There was a place right on the application forms that asked you what your religion was and they would ask you about whether you had a reliable means of transportation. And women were always asked if they had children ... a question they never asked men because they assumed that the wife would always be the one to stay home with a sick child. A woman with small children would be overlooked for someone who had no children. And in one interview, I was actually asked if I was on BIRTH CONTROL! They could ask you things like that back then. Believe me, we have come a long,long way! [/QUOTE]
