I don't think it's an invasion of privacy to ask someone what they do for a living, or what jobs they've held in the past. If most of us were at a party, and someone were to ask "what do you do?" we'd tell them. Teacher, astrophysicist, insurance agent, police officer, it keeps the conversation moving.
Now, maybe what you do is private, or you're an agent for the FBI. But I've even talked with an FBI agent at air cargo about what he did on the job, without much hesitation on his part.
If you lead a crusade against someone for their alleged illegal activities, even Jesus suggested a few thousand years ago that it's not completely unwarranted to ask about the accuser's integrity:
"let those without sin cast the first stone."
