How do you handle awkward moments in job interviews - Hallie Crawford

How do you handle awkward moments in job interviews I was talking to a friend the other day, and she told me about her brother who went on an interview at a daycare center in Kansas and they told him during the interview they dont typically hire men. Oops! Thats not something thats smart for an interviewer to say (and why were they interviewing him anyway?) Its an awkward situation for the candidate. How would you handle this? A good solution could be to simply ask them why they dont hire men. You could get huffy about it and threaten them with discrimination, but youd have to consider if its worth it first. Do they think men cant work well with children or is it something else? Sometimes simply being curious is a great way to glean more information from a non-defensive stance.
