The questions you shouldn't ask in a interview but are dying to know

[CC 72100]

I think number 1 is the only reasonable question there, although it is poorly phrased and I can understand that getting the interviewer's back up.

I always ask a question at the end of of a job interview. Apparently when I was 17, going for a saturday sales assistant job, one of the key things that set me aside (apart from going in having done research on the company) was that I asked questions at the end and was the only candidate to do so.

Since then I always make sure that I have at least one question to ask, in whatever role it may be.

Is it true that your asked on what you'd do or feel if someone jumped under your train? Seems a little dark but has anyone ever been asked this when going for a railway job?

Yep. However, how can you seriously answer that, if you've never experienced it? That was the answer i gave in retaliation...

That's what I would say everyone will react differently some people might be driving the next day some might need a month or two off.

I met a driver who has hit two people. He was off for a couple of weeks but it didn't really affect him and his reasoning was that in his mind it was the train that killed them, not him.

Someone I know asked me that same question when I mentioned about going for a driving job. I said that I can't answer as I have never been in that situation before.

I feel small...

Never feel small!

We had a driver come on the GSMR a few weeks ago and all he said was "i've got one under..."

A couple of times the drivers calm the signallers down!
