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.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted online. All the questions were of medium standard and easy to crack if we have patience for thinking.

English comprehension level is slightly below the standard of CAT. Those who have the habit of reading English news paper can easily crack the test.

Tips: Practice Aptitude questions from R S Agarwaal book and CAT material.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Over all interview experience is cool. Interviewers never grilled on anything. In many cases they have helped me to arrive at answers.
Tips: Read C++ and Oops concepts from E Balaguruswamy text book.
For Data structures and algorithms read 'Data structures' by Yeshwant kanethkar.
