This shocking experience happened to my wife yesterday and the day before. She is into public relations and was interviewing with an IT company here at Bangalore for marketing commutations position. I don't want to name the company. All I can say is this company struck an alliance with one of the biggest US based IT company that is into everything you can imagine. That company acquired their personal computing/hardware division recently. They have operations worldwide, china being their primary headquarters. The interviewers (two men of Indian origin) fired questions like this midway during interview:
1) Are you married or single?
2) Do you have kids? If no, when do intend to have kids and what are your plans?
3) Will you have kids soon after joining us?
4) Will you be able to put in long hours of work regularly? He said, "I have a kid and a wife. I work the least here. I come into office by 9am and work till 11pm here regularly! Can you show such commitment?"
The interviewer commented they were equal opportunity employers. He wanted to make informed decision and that was why he was seeking answers to such questions! My wife was grilled with the same set of questions in both the round of interviews. However, they seemed very convinced with her abilities and believed she had what it takes to do the job well. However, she strongly feels her marital status and sex seemed to be thier biggest issue!
I view this totally discriminating and the questions to be illegal .
1) Has other women ranchers here at India or elsewhere in the world faced a similar situation? How did you deal with it?
2) If you are an employee, you can seek help with appropriate department within the company. What do you do when you are not on board and this happens during interview?
3) Can you ask the interviewer to ask such questions in writing and then approach his company's legal/ethics department? I don't think he would be willing though.
