What's a good response that will prevent me from losing a job offer? Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:Q#324 Honesty is always the best policy, regardless of the question they ask. This answer should not impact their decision. (@gradversity) Q#324 If HR asks if u r married n interview, ask y they want 2 know and how does this relate 2 performing the job. (@kgrantcareers) Q#324 Joke & say, "Is that a trick question? I thought it was illegal to ask that." Then flash a big smile! (@jtodonnell) Our Twitter Advice Project (T.A.P.) is no longer an active campaign.
