Lors du 2ème entretien avec une personne plus senior, la personne m'a demandé "je suis quelqu'un de curieux : combien d'enfants avez-vous ?"

1 Answers

Mon deuxième entretien était avec une personne plus Senior qui s'est déroulé le lendemain de mon premier entretien. Cette personne a présenté clairement le poste, la stratégie et vision de l'entreprise. J'ai beaucoup aimé mon entretien et j'aurais pu tout à fait me projeter dans cette équipe. Cependant, au milieu de l'entretien cette personne m'a demandé "je suis quelqu'un de curieux : combien d'enfants avez-vous ?". Il était aussi intéressé par mon âge ce qu'il a pu facilement déduire de mon année de diplôme. Habitant à l'étranger, je ne suis pas habituée à ces questions très personnelles en entretien qui sont strictement interdites. Bien que j’aie répondu honnêtement, cette question m'a beaucoup attristée et choquée car elles sont très personnelles et ne reflètent en aucun cas ma performance et mes compétences. Par conséquent, j'ai décidé de ne pas poursuivre pas la procédure d'entretien car il est important pour moi de travailler pour un Senior Management qui transmet les bonnes valeurs, notamment sur la parité hommes-femmes. Je n'ai pas subi de discrimination évidente; mais la loi française ne permet pas non plus de poser des questions à caractère discriminantes lors d'entretiens d'embauche. Je souhaiterai que mon expérience aide à améliorer la procédure d'embauche et permettent aux futures femmes à ne pas avoir à répondre à ce genre de questions. Less

Main interviewer manager was very hostile. Kept asking me questions and interrupting me when I tried to answer. This went on throughout the entire interview and I just did the best I could. I sent thank you notes to each interviewer after the interview. I told the vendor that if all the candidates are interviewed that way, they will turn the job down because they are not going to want to report to the hostile manager.

1 Answers

I tried to answer the questions and the manager kept interrupting me throughout the interview. This means the manager is really very frustrated and has a very poor interview style. After they turned me down, I sent emails to all interviewers expressing interest in other positions and thanking them again for their time. About 6 months later, the hostile manager sent me an email through linkedin and asked me to apply again telling me the job is being re-issued. I responded that I would submit my resume again. Went back to the vendor, re-submitted, got phone interview and in-person interview again and got an offer. The original job was a project manager role at 80 per hour. The reissued job was a business analyst role at 60 per hour. Started working there in Feb 2015. Stay tuned for the review of what it was like to work there for a year. Less
