What happened at a woman’s job interview shocked her and made people angry online. Even though her interview went well, she was turned down because her questions were too “financially orientated.” The interviewer said that the company wanted someone who was more interested in the job than the pay.
The woman asked about the benefits package, which was a fair question given how much time and skill were needed for the job. But the boss saw this focus on pay as a red flag and put the person’s enthusiasm for the job ahead of any practical concerns.
In a statement that entrepreneur Ben Askins called “ludicrous,” the employer said that asking about money is a normal part of job interviews. He said that the thought of separating work that you love from work that pays you is unrealistic because most people work to make ends meet.
This event shows how important it is to be honest and understanding during job interviews. Candidates should not be afraid to ask important questions without worrying about being judged. Askins said, a job is not a hobby, and bosses need to understand how important it is to give fair pay and perks.
