在面试时被问及隐私问题怎么办？

"Not all technically inappropriate questions are asked for improper purposes," Parker says. "For example, questions about marital status happen all the time. In many cases the interviewer is simply trying to put the job applicant at ease by getting to know the applicant as a person and to determine whether the applicant's personality is a good fit for the company.
Parker 说：“并非所有招聘者提出这些不恰当的问题都是不怀好意的。比如，面试中经常会问及婚姻状况。很多情况下，招聘人员只是想谈些私人方面的事情让候选人放松，并借此来判断该候选人是否适合他们公司。”

"There is nothing illegal about that and, in fact, is an important objective of any interview," she adds.
她补充说：“这没有什么不合法的，实际上这也是任何面试的重要目标之一。”

How You Can Respond 你该如何应对

Here are few options for handling inappropriate questions:
以下有些应对不恰当问题的措施

You can answer the question. This option may work if you're not bothered by the question and don't suspect it was asked with an improper motive.
你可以回答这个问题。如果类似的问题不会让你觉得恼怒、你也不会怀疑提问者抱有不纯的动机的话，你就可以回答。

You can tactfully point out that the question is illegal. Your interviewer may not even know that he or she has crossed a line. But if you feel uncomfortable with the question and the context in which it was asked, you can politely but assertively state that you don't believe the question is relevant to your qualifications.
你可以巧妙地指出该问题是不合法的。面试官可能都没意识到自己越界了。但是如果你对他们的提问或谈话的内容感到不舒服，你可以礼貌但不要蛮横地指出你认为这个问题和自己的资历并无关联。

You can alert another member of the hiring team. Parker says, "A single interviewer can spoil an applicant's chances, so it is imperative that others in the decision-making process know what may have motivated a negative report."
你可以告诉招聘团中的其他成员。Parker说：“一个面试官可能会毁掉一位求职者的机会，所以在面试决策过程中必须有人要知道什么可能会引起负面报道。”
