irritating interview questions

[interviewing]

Admittedly the interviewer either received all the information from me (the house bit was one of my reasons for leaving last job) or could read it out of my CV but this seriously angered me. If I don't vent about it here I might punch the interviewer in 2nd interview should I get one.

• so Mrs 'interviewing's foreignsurname', you used to be called Interviewing Englishsurname (uni certificate), you're married and you have recently renovated a house, what's next on your list and how does that relate to you potentially working here?

arrgggggggg. ARGGGGG. You stupid f**king dark ages interviewer. Don't you realise your smarmy formulation of - are you going to have a baby? is going to potentially lose you excellent candidates.

Am I going to have a baby? At some point, hopefully. Is it any of your business or an appropriate topic for a job interview. Hell NO.

You're in HR you clueless Arsehole. Get your stupid self into the 21st century.

And breathe.

Just wanted to say I thought your answer was cracking, OP.

But the question would make me think twice about working there. Bastards

If my dd is I'll then school or the childminder know that they need to ri g dh first. He earns more than I do but also his job is more flexible, he can leave the office early, he can work from home. I can't walk out the operating theatre or labour ward half way through the day without it causing fairly major problems.

It's NOT illegal to ask the question, It's stupid but legal.
