A pharmaceutical company - um...perhaps we better not. "How well do you keep track of your inventory??" "does having a reputation outside of work as a "pusher" automatically preclude him from hiring??" An insurance company - "are your employees insured for eXtreme sports?? If so...how well do track their activities....do you piss test??" A software development company..."what is your office dress code? Do you consider a wingsuit to be 'business casual'??
