In this hiring interview for a fiscal year appointed employee, the questions asked by the interviewer on the left of the two interviewers were extremely unreasonable. Are the city hall higher-ups aware that such unreasonable hiring interviews are being conducted? I think it is a problem that such interviews are prevalent even in the city hall of #Yokohama , a major city that represents #Japan . This is no longer a developed city in a developed country. In the aforementioned interview, even though I applied for a clerical job, when I answered "I quit because I couldn't stand the intense heat in the summer" to a question about my past work history, the interviewer asked me "Is it an illness or a physical problem?" to which I replied "No. It's because I can't stand physical labor on a hot day any more," but he asked me a question that seemed to blame me, "I think there are some people who don't quit because of that, so why did you quit?" While I thought it was an unfair question, I answered "Whether you can stand not normal heat but intense heat of over 35 degrees Celsius with a perceived temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius varies from person to person, right?", but the interviewer still didn't seem convinced. [Why is this a problem?] 1. Why should applicants be asked questions that seem to blame them for quitting because of the heat, even though they are applying for an office job and not for blue-collar work in the hot sun? 2. If quitting because of the heat is actually due to illness, isn't it a violation of human rights to blame them for that? Also, are they obligated to answer questions when they are not applying for a job in the hot sun? [Conclusion] I am not satisfied with these two points, so I would like them to know that such unreasonable questions are asked when applying for fiscal year employment positions and to improve the situation.
