January 16, 2009 By Chris Miller

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?”

What horror stories do you have?
