Do you have pets?
3 Answers↳
In my opinion, say you don't have pets, because my interview went well and I was overqualified for the position yet somehow I was turned down. They made a face when I said I had cats. In the interview, they said no pet mice, which I don't have but I read on here another person interviewed and I said if you say you have pets you won't get hired. Less
