Do employers ask their parents what they do?

It is rare to meet people who ask this question, but the needs of different jobs are different, so it is necessary to analyze the specific problems.

Recruiters may ask job seekers' parents about their jobs for several reasons:

1. Understanding family background and education: Parents' work and professional background is an important part of the applicant's family background and education. By understanding the family background of the applicant, recruiters can have a more comprehensive understanding of the growth environment, family education and personality characteristics of the applicant, so as to better understand the background and quality of the applicant.

2. Understand the applicant's family values: Parents' work and professional background are often closely related to family values. Recruiters can understand the family background and values of candidates, and their attitudes and views on work, family and society, so as to better evaluate the professional quality of candidates.

3. Assess the applicant's adaptability and background: Different family background and growth environment may have an impact on the applicant's career development and adaptability. Recruiters can evaluate the adaptability and career development potential of candidates by understanding their family background and growth environment.

4. Help build interpersonal relationships: During the interview, recruiters may also learn about the applicant's family background, so as to build more intimate and trusting interpersonal relationships. By greeting parents' work, employers can convey their concern and respect for candidates and their families, thus establishing better interpersonal relationships.

To sum up, the recruiter's greetings to the applicant's parents' work can help the recruiter understand the applicant's family background and education level more comprehensively, evaluate the applicant's professional quality and adaptability, and establish more intimate and trusted interpersonal relationships. This is also a common question for recruiters in interviews. For candidates, we should answer truthfully, without too much exaggeration and concealment, in order to maintain an honest and true attitude.

When answering this question, you should introduce your parents' professional background and situation truthfully and objectively, and you can answer it from the following aspects:

1. Briefly introduce parents' occupations: The first step to answer this question is to introduce parents' occupations and industries. You can briefly introduce your parents' positions and responsibilities, and at the same time explain their industry and company size.

2. Describe the motivation behind parents' work: Then, you can introduce the motivation and purpose behind parents' work. Here we can talk about parents' career planning and goals, as well as their attitudes and views on work and family.

3. Analyze the influence of parents' occupation on themselves: Finally, we can talk about the influence and inspiration of parents' occupation on ourselves. We can talk about the influence of parents' occupation on ourselves from the aspects of family education, career development and interpersonal relationship, and explain how to benefit from parents' occupation and become a better professional person.

It should be noted that when answering this question, we should pay attention to objectivity and authenticity, and don't exaggerate or conceal the occupation and situation of parents. At the same time, we should link our career planning and goals with parents' careers, so as to show our professional quality and development potential.
