INTERVIEWING CIVVIE
I have to interview some people for a post at my Unit next week.
The job itself is not the most challenging and I am potentially going to have a bit of a job choosing.
One thing that I am determined to avoid is the situation at other units (and on parts of my own) where the civvies congregate around the doorways smoking. Quite apart from looking crap, they stink and I also want someone who will be in the office for most of the time, as opposed to the brief periods between fag breaks that some people seem to manage.
Has anyone been in a similar position, and, given the already immense list of questions I am not allowed to ask, is it legitimate to:
1. Ask someone if they smoke?
2. Discriminate against those who do?
I wouldn't hesitate if it were my own company, but I know how insistent the CS can be when comes to getting the wrong people into jobs!
