Either, I'm female and I really don't care as long as I feel I'm getting a fair interview.

Default Totally agree

[quote=xenourtv;6456790]If you had an interview would you prefer the person you are interviewing to be a male or female? In my opinion I would rather let the person interviewing me be a male and not a female.

If you are interviewing with a women it is personal and it really does not matter what your skills and talents are, if she does not like you for some apparent reason, like maybe because she has some sort of prejudice towards minorites, does not like the way you speak etc; your

With men though they really give you the benefit of the doubt and take more risks in my opinion. I remeber one interview where I made so many mistakes and got stumped, yet I got hired because I kind of felt it was because of the potential I had. After meeting the person who was supposed to be a part of the panel interview, I told myself I probably would have not experienced the job if she was there. If the individual interviewing me was a women it would have come down to if she liked me from the start or not because bottom line women are more emotional and personal.

Just my two cents

I'm indifferent. I've been hired by both. I always assess how family friendly either one would be. I have a life outside of work, and I like to keep it that way. I actually am more concerned if they're married. It's a plus if they have kids, even better with grandkids!

FEMALE! I am a man, and other men are too judgmental and biased! So I feel comfortable with being interviewed by a female.
