In a recent (2014) CareerBuilder survey, 20% of hiring managers indicated they have asked a question in a job interview that they later found was illegal.
This week's conference is somewhat different than the others. Here are 3 questions that have been used in employment assessments. Each of them has a stated purpose, but consider the implications of the answer.
1. Have you ever lied to your parents? Yes or No
2. Have you ever used company resources for personal use (includes pens, pencils, tablets) - Yes or No
3. Read the CAPITALIZED sentence below.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS.
COUNT THE "F"'s contained in the sentence ________
For discussion this week:
1. If you were asked these questions, would you find it hard to answer them? Why or why not?
2. Have you ever seen questions like this on a pre-employment assessment? Care to share?
3. Have any other unique, weird, hard-to-answer questions you'd like to share?
