Recently I got an interview from an application I put in... 6 months ago, and I'm currently employed by my University in the chemistry labs.
I went to the interview and used it to brush up in case I need to get a new job.

I constantly interview, it's good to see how the marketplace changes. Linkedin is a good way to stay on track. I always get the job I went to the interview for just for 'banter'

2. be confident
3. BE the child of someone with a business.
And if all else fails, you could always become an exotic dancer/prostitute

Often times, interviewers are required by law to ask the same question to each interviewee. If you ask this question, if gives them liberty to speak freely and allows you to speak on those qualities without them breaking any equal opportunity regulations.

There was an opening for a production tech and one of the interviewers didn't know about this rule. During one interview he asked a follow-up question that he thought of. Long story short, all the interviews they already did for the job had to be discarded and the applications resubmitted.

If I get asked this question that someone else didn't get asked, it might either give me more favor if I answer it well, or less favor if I don't.
It makes sense, and I can see why it's implemented, but I think it's pretty stupid nonetheless. And I'm sure most people agree.
I work for the county, so I figured it was because it's a large organization and large organizations tend to have stupid rules like this that only the higher-ups could change. I didn't know it was a law

madcoww (06/11/2015) [-] Remember, a lot of laws in the US are vague, so companies tend to overcompensate in order to make absolutely sure no one can take them to court. The law in reference is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is the federal law that outlaws most workplace harassment and discrimination. By asking the same questions of all applicants, a company can avoid a claim that any one particular individual was singled out because of a protected characteristic, although this is not specifically called out in the law.

madcoww (06/11/2015) [-] If laws were clearly defined, "We don't do it because doing so would make lead to us getting sued" does mean it is a law.
Therefore, since laws are not clearly defined, "We don't do it because we're trying to make it harder to sue us" does mean that laws are being taken into consideration.
I agree that it doesn't necessarily make it law, but someone acting differently out of fear of getting in trouble with the law does suggest that law is in action. I feel the true issue here is how vague the law is rather than whether or not the law exists.

The law says no discrimination in employment against race, sex, age over 40(45?), other things, where it's not a bona fide occupational requirement that cannot be accommodated without undue hardship. It's quite a stretch to take that to mean that it is illegal to ask different candidates different questions.

zacoren (06/11/2015) [-] Can confirm as a manager, in training they say you cant say anything at all that implies you'd like someone else for the position, but only based on protected statuses. age, race, gender, and weather or not they are disabled if you don't like someone for a position because they don't have the skill set or they aren't smart enough, then that's something else entirely.

Best hint you can do is not feed into the corporate infrastructure and face stab the people who are giving you your life one month at a time
