'It's a private matter':Job candidate refuses to answer interviewer's questions, claiming they are too personal, interviewer tells him to leave

Performing well in a job interview these days has almost nothing to do with the job you're applying for. It's a skill, a kind of performance that you need to perfect in order to impress the person in front of you, and convince them you'll be a good fit for the job, but most importantly for the company,

Since this stage in the job search has become more of a script than an actual conversation, it is also not that hard to anticipate what type of questions you are going to be asked. The internet is filled with all the popular questions interviewers love to ask, and all the best responses you should give them. If you prepare yourself, there is not much that can catch you off guard.

Except questions like those the interviewer asked the job candidate in the story below, who was not only caught off guard by them, but was actually quite offended. There was no reason for the interviewer to dig into the candidate's personal life the way that she did, and he had no problem telling her that.
