| 0:00.0 | What question did you refuse to answer in a job interview? |
| 0:03.3 | What's your Zodiac sign? |
| 0:04.9 | At first, I thought it was a joke, but he went on to explain in detail that it was very important |
| 0:09.7 | that all the signs of his employees were compatible with his to prevent drama in the workplace. |
| 0:14.8 | Then he started telling me about past lives. It was a weird interview. |
| 0:18.7 | Why should we hire you when you just got married and we'll probably |
| 0:22.0 | be starting a family soon? I initially refused to answer, but couldn't resist by the end of the |
| 0:26.7 | interview, telling them that I'd had my tubes tied for years and literally couldn't have kids. |

| 1:21.5 | but she was from Belize. Anyhow, we were both hired even though he failed us on our spoken language |
| 1:26.3 | portions, she and I wrote grievances and had him removed, as well as our scores corrected. |
| 1:31.3 | He interviewed another girl I knew who looks very Hispanic but barely speaks Spanish, and |
| 1:36.0 | he does not write it. |
| 1:37.6 | He gave her a 100. |
| 1:39.3 | At my office, I found out he had given anyone that looked white or black very low scores, |
