Have you ever been in a job interview and had someone ask an inappropriate question and felt like you were being put on the spot? Well, careers expert, Erin McGoff, from the US, has shared how to respond to such questions in an interview — without feeling flustered or saying the wrong thing. “Sometimes you’ll get asked a question and think, ‘wait, I do not want to answer that… do I have to?’” Erin said in a now-viral video.

If someone asks you whether you live with “a husband, boyfriend, or domestic partner,” first ask them to repeat the question and say, you didn’t get it”, she added. If they continue to press you about it, Erin suggested another tactic, and you could say: “I like to keep my personal and professional lives separate if you don’t mind”. Erin said another way employers can trick you into answering questions about having kids is discussing the job benefits and maternity leave policy.
