10 Questions Not To Ask During A Job Interview

So I went on a job interview last week. No matter how much one prepares for an interview, one is never quite fully prepared to just be oneself. That said, when YOU go for a job interview, be on time, be presentable, be awake, and ask questions.

However, it's advised that you DON'T ask certain questions. These top 10 questions should never be asked in an interview:

1. What's your company's policy on severance pay?

2. How long does it take your company's bureaucracy to get around to firing somebody for poor performance?

3. Could I get an office that's really close to the exit?

4. Does your company's life insurance cover suicide?

5. Who's the ugly bitch in that picture on your desk?

6. Does your company's insurance consider genital herpes a pre-existing condition?

7. How many sick days do you allow each employee before you stop paying them for not being here?

8. Does your insurance cover sex-change operations?

9. Does your LAN have a firewall that blocks triple-X websites?

10. About this drug testing thing, how often do you do that?
