I remember reading people conducting interviews making sexist remarks to female applicants. For example "would you consider having sex with your boss?". This is a question that is so wrong in so many ways, but in this case there was reason for it. The thing is that the position the applicant was seeking was one in a place where she (or he) are prone to be at the receiving end of some sexual harassment, cant remember exactly which job.
The purpose with the question was never to get the applicant in bed but rather to evaluate her ability to stand up for herself. If she didn't react to such a blatant violation to her integrity she just wasn't cut out for a job such as the one she was seeking. So the right "answer" in this case was to tell the interviewer to shove it and threated with the police. If the applicant did that she had a decent chance at getting the job.
If such an interview is ethical i don't know, but it was special enough to end up in the newspaper at least. |

Couple of questions I've had thrown at me on interviews...
"Tell me about a time when you were angry with a co-worker. How did you handle it?"
"If you weren't working in this field, what would you be doing instead?"
Good Luck with the interview. |

This thread reminds me of the first and only job interview I ever attended straight from school. It was in the 70's long before psychobabble or HR were invented.
I can't remember any of the questions but do remember being told I was getting the job because, I was the only applicant that actually bothered to turn up for the interview.
Good luck with the interview Cougar and try not to snigger when they give a form to fill in that asks for your: Full Names, Date of Birth, Marital Status and Sex. |

Well, D-day arrived, I had the interview this morning. I was rubbish.
Should hopefully get the results later today. Oh well, it's all 'good for personal development' etc.
Onward!
Edit: Just heard, I didn't get it. Dammit. |

Cougie dear, I don't believe you were "rubbish". Sometimes they don't even want the best applicant because they think you'd soon find a better job. Don't get depressed!
I've interviewed dozens, if not hundreds of applicants so I know something about it. |

Aw, thanks guys. To be fair, I know the person who did get it, and I think she'll make a very good job of it. Her face fits the role, if you know what I mean. She and I were the only internal applicants, all the others were from outside the uni, so if I couldn't have it I'm glad it's gone to her.
Besides, who wants a job were you spend half your life minuting boring meetings? |
