The main issue, Narrator, isn't that some of these questions are annoying, like the pregnancy ones or the mental disabilities, it's that in most places, especially in the US, these questions are ILLEGAL to ask.
And they are illegal for very good reasons!
@@kimhohlmayer7018 Doesn't stop them though.
@@annika5893most places get around the illegal discrimination questions by just demanding a faux video interview. Where you speak into a camera, answer a few normal questions, and they can discriminate based off the video.
The reason interviewing and applying is so needlessly long and tedious is so they can nitpick any wrong thing and deny someone the job quoting that instead of the illegal discrimination if anyone asks. (Which nobody ever does)
@@annika5893Reporting them for discriminatory practices does though.
A lot of these questions are outright illegal.
I think I would immediately just stand up and walk out if an interviewer had the gall to ask about my sex life. That just means that there's gonna be no boundaries at all at that place

For story 10, you aren't thinking far enough ahead. The reason why it's forbidden to ask about someone's disability during the hiring process is to prevent the reviewer from unfairly biasing their interview based in your diagnosis. Let's say you have a learning disability and you're applying for an office job in your field. Your resume checks out but the interviewer asks you disability and then recommends you for a lower paying physical labor job instead based on their bias.
It's up to the individual if they feel comfortable sharing their diagnosis at a later point but you should avoid telling them your diagnosis during the hiring process, let your resume and skills speak for you. Then ask for accommodations as needed after being hired.
I hope he sees this
thanks, didn’t think of that!
I'm not sure why the Narrator doesn't see how "what disability do you have" is inappropriate (and illegal) to ask in an interview... Not "what accomodations would we need to consider" or an acquaintance politely asking questions, but a potential employer asking specifics ofnyour medical history irrelevant to the position...
The narrator was more concerned about the social media access
I can't stand this narrator. An entire video full of truly asinine & 1940s style opinions. He should just shut his silly mouth & deliver the stories, not show everyone his lack of comprehension skills, logic & raging sexism & ableism. The isms.
I am constantly expected to violate NDAs in interviews and I always refuse. I really wish it was an illegal question.
To the CIA question, (often used in law enforcement interviews in general) The correct answer is "none of them". Anything else gets you booted because it reveals you:
1. Expect to face corruption in that position
2. Believe your prospective coworkers/boss are already corrupt making it at least a little okay
3. Worst of all you are open to the possibility of being corrupted with enough persuasion.
I live in Germany and for example if you get sick, the boss will receive a note, but the disease is not written on it, because he is not allowed to know/ask. Also, asking about your marital status/kids is totally forbidden by law. They could get sued for that.
I usually say that I am infertile if they ask me the pregnancy question. The reactions are priceless!
It’s cuz it’s just not their fucking business in regards to asking your disability. It’s fucking rude and if you know you’re capable of the job either your disability it’s not their business. Plus pretty sure it’s against the law to ask someone’s disability or discriminate on hiring based on disability in America at least
A lot of these questions are illegal in the US. Closest I came to a question like this was asking if I attended church or something along those lines. I said that I have open availability to work weekends.
I live in the southern US. So stuff like workplace prayer isn't uncommon though it weirds me out.
Deep south bible belt here.
Still not right because it will lead to discrimination and it will lead to a hostile work environment. It is still something you must report if asked.
Here's a little tip. If the interviewer offers to walk you to your car; decline. This is done so they can get hints from your car about things they can't legally ask about. Like seeing if you have a car seat, or if you have bumper stickers showing if you have children, your religious views, political views, orientation, etc.
A lot of these are illegal to ask in the US
I straight up got asked if I were a trans man.
Meaning was I born a woman ..
I'm a 26 year old natural born man.
I have a full mustache, I have a deep voice big hands lean build. No hips no tits.
No ass.
I straight up laughed and awkwardly sat through the next 15 mins and never went back. Was absolutely weird.
Walmart for those who care
You don't think trans men have facial hair, deep voices or no boobs? 😂 I've seen plenty of trans men with ZZ Top beards, a voice like Trace Adkins, and a chest flatter than an ironing board. What do you think they take testosterone and get top surgery for? Also, to don't think men can have a fat ass? That's hilarious. My husband has a bigger booty than I do.
Narrator has a problem with invasion of privacy associated with asking for social media usernames and passwords, but not for the pregnancy and disabilities questions that are outright illegal.
I watch a lot of videos from this channel and have never had an issue with the narrator's opinions except on this one. He was being a real prat
ALL questions related to religion, marital status, ethnicity, pregnancy, relationships, etc, are ILLEGAL for a hiring person to ask an applicant if you are in the U.S.
WTF was going on with asking 'tell me about your time in the military' three times?!
Honestly this one was the weirdest one for me because I couldn't find any reason for it lol
Yeah that's still got me scratching my head. Just... what kind of answer was he expecting?
Just for a weird guess... Maybe the interviewer wanted to hear if the guy had killed someone in combat, or maybe to know if the interviewee had some form of PTSD that might affect his performance in the job?
@@fga17 maybe but it wasn't for a job, just part of a class so they know what to expect from interviews. Also he gave everyone else an A and then op got a B lol
The last story #22 perhaps the interviewer wanted to hear war stories, like . . . murder and mayhem?
Or OP could have said "That's classified" or "I can neither confirm nor deny that I worked with nuclear weapons".
I was wondering why the interviewer kept asking the same question. Obviously, he wanted to hear something else, but I was scratching my head trying to think of what it could be. Military secrets came to mind--not a good idea to tell those, of course.
@@shadowpitched4401 yeah. If you meet enough people you eventually come across someone weird.
That last one was clearly pissed to not get a "and that's why I have PTSD" story.
Also yes. Anything that involves questioning marriage and kids. The kid one is judging you either as a leech of resources or someone desperate they can exploit. The marriage one is weird because you never hear of them asking a guy the question. I think it's the societal assumption when a woman gets married she'll leave her job and then, once again, that job assumes she'll be a drain or abandon them.
Screw any employee that would make an assumption about me based on my gender.
Alot of these seem like extremely illegal questions to ask for a work interview. I'd report most of these if they are corporate and not a small family owned local business.
If I ever interview people I’m only going to use questions from this video.
Why? Also, a lot of these are illegal to ask so good luck
@@jasonellis4330 why not
ooh so edgy
I never post anything I don't want my priest reading. I'd never fucking hear the end of it.
Question in case I ever see this personally. If you’re asked an illegal question in an interview, where do you go to report it?
Police
12:06 no, because where would I go to vent?
A lot of these questions are outright illegal, harassment, and are used to discriminate against anyone the employer doesn’t like.
It is EXTREMELY ILLEGAL to ask someone what their disability is in the US for equal employment opportunity reasons. It is NOT OKAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. They are allowed to ask you if you meet specific requirements, like physical requirements or otherwise, but they CANNOT ask you what specifically your disability is. It is a huge discrimination issue.
I could see the disability thing of it’s a “We’re going to know what accommodations to make for you,” not as a deciding factor for getting the job of course but I’d say something prevents you from getting to places quickly because of a busted hip or whatever letting it be known this person has to leave early if they have a scheduled meeting at a certain time or whatever. In the other hand I can totally see people seeing that as invasive of they think it’ll lead to them not getting the job.
I dunno. That’s kind of a tricky one.
Isn't Belize one of the non-Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America? IIRC, English is their official language.
But lots of people speak Spanish there too, almost half the country.
@@Azulakayes Lots of people from Guatemala and other countries visit or emigrate to Belize.
It would be interesting if you asked the Reddit crowd, “who did you know in your youth, that became mad famous later in life?”
Hey mate, just as a heads up, the pregnancy questions and the disability questions are overly invasive (typically interviews are supposed to only retain to profession based topics), and on top of that, it’s illegal because if they did or didn’t hire someone based on the answers of these questions, that’s actual discrimination, which is a MASSIVE issue.
"How much can you drink?"
Me: how much you got?
Note: my last name is Hennessey. And I am very loosely related to Hennessy had a drinking contest with a friend once... 4 liters of rum. we ran out it was a tie i stumbled home and peed in the kitchen garbage can. Parents got angry i said "I'm irish my last names Hennessey I cant turn down a drinking challenge and I cant lose its a disgrace to the family name.
I mean... technically, you didn't lose that challenge.
Story three might be DEI attempt.
Sell the devils letters? What is that?
They mean "devil's lettuce" (marijuana)
Because disabilities deeper and more complex, and therefore discriminated against, than merely “learning disabilities”. Many disabled people literally never get hired because of their disabilities. Think outside your own reality dude.
I find a lot of your interjections extremely misinformed. A lot of information is protected as per the country you are living in, especially medical information under HIPAA etc. you cannot be willynilly question, an interviewer should know this.
