RE: 7 Bad Interview Questions You Should Stay Away From

in #business7 years ago

As a minority in the US it is almost unavoidable for me when it comes to question 2. Sadly I do not look like the role I was hired for so it always begs the question do I really know what I am doing? Sometimes it feels like they are fishing around my ethnicity just because I look different. It has gotten better over the years but that is because I have less interviews ;) lol

Sort:  

I think you have a point, because minorities here though may not get that question, but there is always a hint of judgment in the eyes of the employers. That is also why employers of a certain race tend to pick those from their own. Kinda like the unsaid, maybe?

Yes its a definite. I have come to a conclusion that first impression is always ever lasting. The old saying of don't judge a book by its cover does not work with people. lol.
