Horror

HR Daily Adviser posted an “Interview Checklist–The 25 Forbidden Questions” and asked it’s readers to share their horror stories.  Later they posted the worst or most humorous questions submitted.

Here are some examples of actual interview questions:

  • “Are you wearing a skirt or pants?”
  • “Who cuts the lawn in your family, you or your husband?
  • “If I were to ask your husband if you have a bad time during PMS, what would he say?”
  • “Does your parents’ house have a swimming pool?”
  • ”So, you are getting married soon, does that mean you will be leaving us to go have a baby?”

“I am thrilled with getting our background checks online using FYI Screening. The process is very quick, easy and enables us to make our decisions much faster and safer. The system is easy to understand and gives you the capability to go back and find archived reports at any time. It has made my job so much more efficient and protects our Company because we know ahead of time about their background. If something does come up that is out of the ordinary, it is easy to get in touch with a live person who can help navigate the system and answer my questions. It is also very cost effective."
