A shocking experience for an Indian woman who attended a job interview in Britain!

A shocking experience for an Indian woman who attended a job interview in Britain!

A young woman who attended an interview at a company in Britain was taken aback by the questions asked by the HR officer there. Her post, asking whether female employees are facing such questions even in this era, is going viral on Nettinta.

While some expressed solidarity with her situation, some supported the company. They commented that it is essential to know certain things about the candidates before hiring them.

Going into full details, Jahnavi Jain (25), who lives in Britain, posted a post. She said that she went for a job interview at an Indian company in Britain. However, she explained that during the interview, the HR officer asked her when she wanted to get married. "Are you getting married soon?" the HR officer asked. She expressed surprise and said, "Are you still asking such questions?"

This post went viral on a large scale. It led to a discussion on the work culture in today's era. Many women complained that they too faced such questions in interviews. Why are male candidates not asked such questions? A woman commented, "They still ask such questions. They think that marriage will distract us." Another person questioned why such questions are asked.

A woman shared her experience that there is no malicious intent behind this question. I faced the same question in an interview when I was 26. After that, I got a job. I was also given 20 days of leave during my marriage. The woman said that companies ask such questions to plan their projects in advance. This incident is going viral amidst various comments.
