right, but for someones first job i would also not expect any experience how to handle work situations at all. regardless of how i would be able to find out it seems a bit much to ask.
that's exactly the point I am trying to make? it's ok to ask about past professional experiences, it's not ok to ask personal questions about the past.
because we can just ask them how they dealt with with emotionally-difficult work situations in the past.
is there any work where that is not the case?
