Hi guys,

Last time I went interview at this small company.

First of all, they asked me to explain about myself. So I explain about myself, education and working experiences.

And then after that, the woman that interview me asked me to tell about my family backgrounds, what are they doing etc, and also expect me to explain my attitude when I'm with my family, with my friends etc.

Is it ethical to ask these questions? I don't feel like it's necessary for them to ask these questions.

And the most shocking part, they ask whether I have GF or not? I'm speechless when she asked me that kind of question.

It is not ethical and serves no purpose in an job interview. You have the right not to answer those questions. Unfortunately, most of the employees lack the courage to speak up against these sort of questions due to various circumstances.

I feel uncomfortable when they asked about my parents occupation and where they work. I feel like it's unneccasary for them to ask that kind of questions.

Hi guys, just went for an interview yesterday. By the end of the interview, the Hr Manager and payroll manager were asking me questions about my current company's benefits and told me theirs and also comparing it. Is this normal for them to ask such questions during interview?

I have experienced before this.

I think about 2-3 interviews that I attended before this asking these kind of questions.
