Five Interview Questions to Stop Asking

‘Tell me about yourself’, ‘where do you see yourself in five years’, and ‘what is your greatest weakness’ measure rehearsed performance, not the work. Many autistic candidates answer them literally and are penalised for it.

Replace each with a task-based question: ‘Walk me through how you would approach this real problem we hit last quarter.’ The signal is sharper and the bias is lower.

If you must keep behavioural questions, send them in advance.
