During the interview process for a summer associate position, second-year law student Sydney Baxter was asked your standard get-to-know-you questions: “Tell me something that’s not on your resume.”
“What kinds of shows do you like to watch?”
Then came: “What’s your sign?”
“Like, zodiac sign?” said Baxter, unsure of what the law firm associate was asking. After confirming that he indeed wanted to know the exact position the Sun was located in at the time she was born, she revealed that she’s a Leo.
Baxter, who’s a student at Villanova University, was surprised that the question came up in a process as formal as a law firm interview. Although Baxter said she felt the question was more of an ice breaker, some employers have used it to narrow down the candidate pool.
“Glee” actress Heather Morris recently said in an interview that Jennifer Lopez cut potential dancers during tour auditions based on their zodiac sign.
“She walks in the room and she said, ‘Thank you so much, you guys have worked so hard. By a show of hands if there are any Virgos in the room, can you just raise your hand?’” said Morris, who noted that she wasn’t in the room and had heard this story from others.
Lopez, a Leo, then allegedly said, “Thank you so much for coming,” axing them from the hiring process.
