Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interviewer doesn't have knowledge on Procurement process. He is not even ready to listen to your past experience.
He asked me a question on 'contract termination' who has the right to decide this clause? As a procurement professional we know if at any time both the sides of a procurement contract should find there difference irreconcilable, the contract outlines term under which it will be nullified so both parties go their ways, but interviewer was arguing that only vendor's have the right to decide the contract termination, he was not even aware that procurement contract is a legally binding agreement between buyer and seller. My question is so if a buyer is not satisfied with a particular service how could he stop the service without mutually agreeing to a termination clause in a contract.
He is also asking a procurement person whether have you ever released purchase orders.
This kind of people sitting as a manager taking interview for 6+years of experience candidate.

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
