On the Spot!
I was asked “where does your manager think you are today” during an interview this week. I told him I used a vacation day but I actually had to call in sick because they notified me about the interview 2 days before. I hated lying about that but I felt the interviewing manager was putting me on the spot with that question. Why would he ask me that? Do you think that’s something he will ask my current employer when he does a reference check?
I tell the interviewer when I have a day off or if I get off early enough that I can still interview. I don’t let applying for jobs interfere with the one I have. Companies are looking for loyal employees. If they want you to apply they’ll work with you.
Always answer with a positive statement or just say "I told him I had a personal matter".then explain to the interviewer I'm not satisfied with my current job, I know I would have a better chance at using my skills with you, ie, this interview is very important to me.
First, remind the customer is guaranteed service is in our contract. Take all the info down. Take the time then ask when is the best time to reconnect on the next business day.
That is a little suspect and nerve wrecking. Just hope for the best.
Generally the only questions, due to privacy laws, they can ask can only pertain to are you a good worker, your start/end date, & if previous employer, would they higher you back. Generally if you're looking for a better job, you request them not to contact that employer in fear repercussions of looking for a job else where.
Unusual interview question but I can see how integrity, commitment, and attendance would be an important assessment for a company that values those traits in employees.

Asking for time off on short notice hard. Next time try requesting a longer lunch for personal reasons if you don't want your current employer to find out that you’re looking for another job. It's a clever interview question though. Sounds like the interviewer was trying to access your integrity.
Generally potential employers can only ask past employers about your employment dates. Unless you actually had your job listed as a reference. That is a worrisome situation though.
I don't think they can ask you that question and if they do call your employer they can't ask anything other than what kind of person you are ( employee) Kind of a "dick move" by the interviewer but that's the way the game is played now. lying and being dishonest will go a long way now.If the interviewer would resort to such tactics wonder what kind of company he's working for and what kind of business practice they have
