I was just telling Brian about some clever questions that I have been asked that are (in my opinion) cleverly aimed at getting personal details that you're probably not supposed to ask applicants.
When asking me about my recent move to Orange County, he asked where I "bought in" at. I kind of ignored that and said (something like), "I moved here around such-and-such date." He intentionally brought the conversation around to location of my house and whether or not I had purchased it. I told him that I, like everyone else, was looking for a good deal on a house foreclosure. He asked for alternate contact info, I gave him my cell. He asked for my home, but I told him my cell worked fine at home. He asked for again (just in case he absolutely had to contact me), and when I gave it to him, he asked if there was possibly someone else who might answer the phone. Sensing that he wanted to know if I was single, I just volunteered that information, in case it gave me an edge in the job (in case I really wanted it). The "tin foil hat" part of me says that he'll probably skiptrace the location. Your thoughts?
