• A job applicant was made to feel uncomfortable when they had a final interview with three people they would potentially be working with if they got the role. While the interview seemed to go well for the most part, they were thrown a curveball by the question that the hiring manager asked close to the end.

  He wanted to know whether they were planning on starting a family any time soon, because the team considered it important to ‘plan around’ it. While taken aback, they answered the question and were later offered the job. However, they were in two minds as to whether they should take it.

• Got asked something really inappropriate in a final interview, did I handle it right?
