"Job Interview Mistake: The One Question You Should Never Ask, According to a CEO"
Asking about work-life balance during a job interview can send the wrong message to employers, according to Bert Bean, CEO of Insight Global. It may imply a lack of engagement, reliability, or commitment to the role. Bean suggests that work-life balance is a personal issue that should be owned by the employee, not dictated by the employer. Instead, candidates can research company culture through employee reviews or ask specific questions about expectations, such as being reached in off hours or the company's policy on sick days and vacations.
