An employee's private life often affects job performance. A married man with children will generally be more responsible and settled rather than one who is heavily in debt, going through a divorce, has a practice of often changing jobs, etc.

A single parent who has no one to share responsibilities, or unmarried people who may not be settled. Of course generalizations are not always accurate but can serve as a guide.

It is not necessary to ask a bout that person's private life. What is the most important is to find how well that person fit on the job. So, you have ask him job interview question which is related to the qualifications of that job required. Say for example, What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Do you want to explain why you quit without pointing fingers? You could try saying something about a difference of opinion regarding coaching styles or maybe just say you wanted the opportunity to advance to a head coaching position and that wasn't going to be possible in that situation.

Debbie, I recommend calling the stores directly to get the correct link information or the next time you're in the store, ask to speak to the manager to see if you can get the information. Good luck!
