Deflecting employer questions until the actual interview is a good strategy. It prevents the employer from making a snap decision about the individual without seeing the applicant and exploring his or her qualifications in greater detail. Answering all questions asked by the employers pleasantly, accurately, and completely allows the employer to substitute a phone call for a personal interview. Mentioning that you are in a hurry now but giving permission to receive a call back in an hour would be perceived as impolite. Reporting the phone call to the civil liberties commission is unnecessary and inappropriate.
