Tell me about a time your own biases got in your way. What did you learn from that experience?

Don’t ask about religionDo let them know work is required on Sunday, for example

Don’t ask, “How old are you?” or “When did you graduate from high school?”Do ask if they have the necessary skills to complete the job requirements

Don’t ask if they have any disabilities or how many days they were sickDo make sure they meet the pre-requisites to perform the job. Describe the functions of the job in detail and ask if they can perform them without accommodations.
