Interview Tips & Stories

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

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - To be honest, Never Join any project offered by Collabera. If Collabera is hiring for there company then it's fine. As I was on Collabera payroll and working for Infosys. The scam here which they do is that they won't tell you anything clearly. Basically if you are working on any project then only you will be paid. After join Collabera, they provided some training and offered a project after 2 months and I was not paid for that 2 months. I would say I was lucky enough to be alloted to a project but many of my colleague from Collabera were not allocated even after 6 months and no money were given. Please don't go for CTC whichever is offered by Collabera. I didn't knew about them earlier but after facing it myself I can surely tell you that you can ask as many CTC you want they will pay you that. But it's career destroyer
