I was recently cleared to start interviewing new hire candidates at my company. Over the next few weeks, I will be interviewing college students who are looking for summer internships. Yesterday and today, I received schedules to interview three candidates. The two I received yesterday were fine. I got the interview times and the candidates' resumes, so I'm set. I got another one today, however, which threw me for a loop.

The recruiter sent me an Outlook meeting invitation (uh oh) to interview some girl with my last name. Eh? "Tircuit" is a pretty uncommon last name, especially in Pennsylvania. I open the meeting invitation and see the girl's resume which has a completely different last name on it. I can only assume that the recruiter thinks this girl is eventually going to marry me and take my last name, but I think my wife might have a problem with that.

On the topic of interviews, is it OK if I ask a candidate what their shoe size is?
