Mike is an excellent liaison for Berkeley students....

He is constantly on the Twitter board, updating us on different events coming up at Berkeley and reminding us that fall registration is going on right now. I've "tweeted" back a few times regarding activities going on at Berkeley, but he is really Berkeley's spokesperson and cheerleader all in one. Berkeley is very fortunate to have someone like him. I mean, we bloggers comment on what's going on in the classroom and about class trips and activities that we've personally been involved in and that may pertain to our particular campus; but Mike talks about all the goings-on at different campuses and makes mention of people who have been spotlighted in the paper for academic excellence and excellence post-graduation.

Getting back to the topic of illegal interview questions, one of my classmates stated that she was asked what she felt was an inappropriate question based on her appearance, and she turned it back around on the individual. Illegal questions are designed to "weed out" job applicants, but what happens is that the person is not chosen for the job position for reasons that have nothing to do with qualifications (or lack thereof) for the job applied for. So, Berkeley students, when you're out in the working world, you must be careful that you're not baited by an interviewer looking to gain more personal information by posing seemingly innocent questions. One such question could be, "How often do you go to church?" or "What is your religion?" If your religion is not one that the employer agrees with, he or she could use this information and make his or her decision based on the given information.
