What’s the worst question you’ve been asked in a job interview?
@Adam_Karpiak It’s not even a bad question, but the phrasing got me. “Why are you passionate about Excel?” I laughed, which was incorrect. I know now that many are passionate about Excel. I saw it as a tool to perform a *job* I was passionate about. Not so here! Passion for boxes or perish.
@Adam_Karpiak How many sick days have you taken in the past year. This was a gov interview. Employers are not permitted to ask this question as it it falls under Human Rights. Sick days are for all kinds of reasons…actually being sick, undiagnosed illness, stress, bullying and harassment…
@Adam_Karpiak are you hiring... the person interviewing me wanted to leave and join the agency I was working for...
@Adam_Karpiak "What year did you graduate from college?"
@Adam_Karpiak I know skill X is not on your CV, but please whiteboard stuff about skill X.
