Why Is It Saying That My Questions Are Being Asked In The Us

How do I answer in an interview when asked "what is your weakness"?

Do not try to be Mr. Ideal man. Every one has a weakness. Choose wisely from your weaknesses and state them clearly.Avoid using the famous: "I am perfectionist. I don't rest until I see the perfect output!" This is not a weakness. It's a bloody quality every company desires.The weakness should still persist. Do not say, "I used to be a procrastinator"  "I lacked confidence". So, these are not your weaknesses anymore and the question still remains: "What are your weaknesses?"Also make sure to pick weaknesses which won't affect your candidature. Do not say, "I cannot start my day without watching porn for 2 hours" or "I am an alcoholic and can't survive a day without alcohol!!" You could state something like this:"I tend to overthink on problems. This leads to wastage of time in cases when I reach the same solution as I had before""I am working on my patience level. I get bored easily.""I am a bit short tempered, specially if someone talks to me indecently""I am not a good conversation starter.""I am a glutton. I love to eat junk food. Though I know it adversely affects my health""I lack confidence."If the interviewer asks, "What are you doing to overcome these?", following could be your answers (for each of above weaknesses respectively) :As soon as I realize that I have devoted enough time to the problem and come up with the best solution I can, I move on and look into other problems. I would say, I have overcomed it 80%.I look forward to the outputs of the work I am doing. I keep myself engaged. If I am very bored, I take a 10minutes break to refresh myself and then resume my work.ORI work in intervals i.e. I work for 2-3 hours at a stretch and then take a 10-15 minutes break to rejuvenate myself.I am learning anger management techniques like counting in reverse, or not speaking whenever I am angry.I am learning new facts which could act as good conversation starters. I spend more time in socializing so as to learn how to start a conversation.I have set a maximum limit to the amount I would spend on junk food. I am trying to strictly adhere to it.I encourage myself from my previous achievements whenever I feel low.

Why am I asked for my sexual orientation on a job application?

It is not only legal to ask, it is advisable.

An employer in the UK is prohibited from discriminating on the grounds of sexual orientation. They therefore need to keep a record of the sexual orientation of both successful and unsuccessful applicants so that if someone ever sues them saying "They didn't hire me because I'm gay" they can say "Look... 2.6% of our applicants are gay, and we hired 2.7% gays, so we obviously do not discriminate against gays".

To the poster above... discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is illegal in only a handful of US States. In most it is completely legal to say "No gays".

Many employers look at the laws against discrimination on the grounds of things like race or sexual orientation or family status and decide, because of them, not to even ask those questions. That is a really bad idea - without them, how do you defend against a suit? "Would Your Honour like to come to our shop and see how many butch looking women and effeminate guys we have working there? Oh, and the employees can also tell you who are the 'lipstick lesbians' and butch gay guys."

Are police required to answer when asked, "Am I being detained?"

“Are police required to answer when asked, ‘Am I being detained?’”In the US, there is no requirement to answer any specific question from a person who has been stopped by a police officer. Officers are not required to tell the stopped person the reason for the stop (although the officer must have a legal reason for the stop).However, it is much nicer or professional to provide an answer to “Am I being detained?” if asked. It is, generally speaking, better to provide a reason for the stop, even if the officer doesn’t provide full details. For instance, if I am stopping a person who is suspected of being involved in a recent battery, I might say, “There was a problem back there and we’re trying to sort things out.” If the stopped person immediately blurts out something like, “I wasn’t in a fight!” then I have a pretty good idea that the person was in a fight.Ultimately, though, Cliff Gilley has it right — why waste time asking, “Am I being detained?” when what you really want to know is, “Am I free to go?” If you ask the former and don’t get an answer, you can’t just assume that you’re not being detained. If you ask the latter, however, and don’t get a response, it might be reasonable to believe you are free to go.

Question Involving race, being politically correct, looking for all races to answer, please & thank you.?

Wow! How brave of you to post such a question. I appreciate your concern in being sensitive to folks preference but understand, you can't please everyone, all of the time. That said, I am a Black woman. I don't have a problem with being called or classified as Black or African-American. I'd raise my eyebrows at ***** though, especially a non-Black calling me one! I refer to Asian people as Asian--not Chinese (as in cuisine) and not Oriental (as in rugs). I say Hispanic until I learn how a person identifies himself. (I'm in Texas where Mexican versus non-Mexican identification can be real touchy subject, and as a Black woman, I work hard not to offend others--lest I'll be offended.) I say Indian from India or Native American. It's funny that I found your question today--having had a conversation with a gentleman from the Philippines earlier today. He called himself Philippino--not Asian, nor Hispanic. I call White folks White. I hardly ever say Caucasian. My pastor (who is Black) says Anglos--which sounds weird to me.
Good luck on ever feeling comfortable when speaking about other people. I think we've made it way more complicated than it has to be. My husband (who is Black) and I used to ask one other "B or W?" whenever talking about people in the presence of our children so as not to persuade them. Now, they, like you, describe people without revealing the race. I have to ask them Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Indian-- if I want to picture the scenarios they are describing.
I think you would do well to find out what is acceptable and pleasing to the people in that area. I hope this sheds some light!

What should one not say in a US visa interview?

Hemal, has answered this question with a H1B visa applicant in mind. I will try to answer it for the benefit of those who will be going in for their B1/B2 visa interview.First of all, what you must bear in mind is that the consular officer is there with the mind that you are not eligible for the visa. So how can you convince the consular officer otherwise? The burden to proof lies on you the applicant not the consular.Not understanding this above concept properly have caused a lot of good and genuine travelers a B1/B2 visa denial. I have had many people come to me and say “but i have a good job and have a lot of strong ties to my country”. The funny part of it, is that they say it’s American’s lost, because they wanted to spend their money there. The truth of the matter is, it is never America’s lost that you were not issued a visa.What you should be concentrating on, is how to decipher your mistakes, make amends and apply again. When you are answering the questions, you have to be very sure of what you are saying. You can’t be asked a question like “why America?” or “What are you going to do in New York” and you just simply answer “tourism” or “visiting”. Put yourself in the shoes of the consular officer, if you were the one interviewing someone for a visa and you were given such one word answers, would you issue the visa to them?You have to listen very well to the questions and answer them like you really know what you are going to do in the US.Another example of question will be “what do you do” or “what is your role” and your answer is “accountant” or “i record sales”. Answers, like this does not show that you really know what you are saying. You might truly be an accountant, but you failed to express it correctly. You have to be in dept, when explaining what you do.Lastly, this is an interview; you are not going to the embassy to chat with your friend, you are going there to do some convincing. On a last note, you really have to be truthful with your answers. Lying to the consular can cause you a permanent ban from the US.To help you further you can check out these extra tips Tips of getting your Visa Approved at any Embassy in Nigeria Part 1 - Travel with No Wahala
