Job Interview Questions: Unknowingly being recorded during a job interview, illegal?

Today I found out that my current employer recorded my job interview. Not only was the interview completely inappropriate question wise but I was also recorded without my permission! At the time I was 17, that has to be illegal to record someone without their knowledge and recording a minor without parental consent? Not only was it recorded but they skyped it and all the employees that worked their at the time could log on to watch? What should I do?

Job Interview Tips That Lead to Job Offers



Recommended Answer:
It depends on what state it was in. In some states you don't need the other party's consent to record a conversation. The fact that the person is a minor is not relevant. Check if your state is a "two party consent state". If it is the recording was illegal. However, I don't believe that you would have any recourse even if it was. The recording could probably just not be used in court. I may be wrong though.
