I’m conducting some phone interviews today for a C++ contractor/employee. Man it’s been a long time since I’ve conducted interviews. I wish I kept a list of my favorite questions to ask.

Maybe I’ll start off with:

What is your age?

What is your sexual orientation?

What is your race?

Who are you going to vote for?

Are you married or pregnant?

What’s your religion?

How fat are you?

Would you be willing to line my pocket for this job?

Oh wait. Those are the questions that are ILLEGAL to ask. Doh!

What others have said

4: Perot or Kerry. I haven't decided.
5: soon, not to my knowlege.
6: My religion is the lack thereof
7: I wouldn't say "slightly chunky" or "morbidly obese", so let's call it "Moderately overnourished"
