I just got out of an interview and had to hit up QBN w/ this question...
What's the weirdest, out-of-place, or most inappropriate question an interviewer has ever asked you.
Just left an interview for f/t work, the Director asked me about my freelance rates towards the end. She knew my salary requirements (salary range from my initial email application response to the opening).
It felt so shitty, I of course answered but was very uncomfy with the question but didn't know why.
I was transparent about what I've made at other institutions.

She did mention getting a consultant for the website which was a surprise but that had nothing to do w/ me. I was applying for a ft pos. Clearly giving her my reasons for going salary. My FUCK!!!!

"I don't think that's a bad quality"

You think that's an awkward question?

I understand a question like that can make some people uncomfortable, but I don't think it's that bad.
It's like this one time after an ok interview, this British guy asked me as the last question something like, "so when are you going back to your country?". I was like "WTF, seriously!? that question in a multicultural society? I've been in this country 2 decades, and you've been here 7 years. And you are not even from this continent! You just saw in my resume I'm not just hanging out here!"

If they asked you medical questions or what size pants you wore, that would be awkward.

Damn... Vec, sorry that happened to you.
Good to know that this question wasn't too out of the ordinary.
