10 Questions Never to Ask in Job Interviews

Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by p syrek in Professional Upkeep

This is an article from Yahoo Jobs. Some of these questions are just over the top. Let me give their list.

1. “What does your company do?”
2. “Are you going to do a background check?”
3. “When will I be eligible for a raise?”
4. “Do you have any other jobs available?”
5. “How soon can I transfer to another position?”
6. “Can you tell me about bus lines to your facility?”
7. “Do you have smoking breaks?”
8. “Is [my medical condition] covered under your insurance?”
9. “Do you do a drug test?”
10. “If you hire me, can I wait until [more than three weeks from now] to start the job?”

I would like to add a few if they are going this crazy.

- Is it OK to date coworkers?
- Can I bring my dog to work?
- Is it OK to view porn if I minimize the browser?
- I like to sleep late. Can I come in around 11 AM each day?

I hope if looking for a job my competiton is these candidates asking these questions.
