When a posting says “EEO employer,” hiring, pay, promotion, and firing are not allowed to turn on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. The legal question is whether you can do the job. You can still be turned down because someone else was better qualified. You should not be turned down because of who you are. If an interview slides into your religion, a disability, or whether you plan to have children, you do not owe a personal answer.
