I got a questionnaire for a job where they asked me about the president.
Anyway, I applied for a communications job at a very well-known company. The next day, I got an automated email with a link to one of those screening questionnaires they make you fill out. I thought to myself, this is normal stuff.
Then I got to the third to last question, and it said this: "How would you complete this sentence: The president is..."
Honestly, I stared at the question for a minute. I've never seen anything like this in an application before. I feel like the company has no right to ask a question like this. It doesn't matter if you love him or hate him, what does this have to do with my ability to do the job? It seems like they're filtering people based on their political leanings.
Am I overreacting to how weird this is? Or is it genuinely provocative and possibly illegal, as I feel?
