Radar Tester Interview Question:

Tell me do you smoke?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Have you ever faced personal questions like tell me about your girlfriend or when are you planning to have kids or do you drink alcohol? Probes like these are considered inappropriate and unprofessional but prevalent amongst lazy interviewers who believe them to be a proxy of commitment to a job.

You may not face these in international roles where such questions may be illegal under local laws. You can refuse to answer with a polite “I prefer not to discuss my private life”. However, you can also choose responses like “I am presently focused on building my career and have no current family commitments”, or “I am aware of company policies regarding smoking and I respect them”.
