The boss of Kim Kardashian's clothing and shapewear brand, Skims, has revealed the one topic you should never bring up during a job interview.

While the majority of us may hate them, job interviews are a fundamental part of work and crucial if you wish to climb the career ladder.

Nonetheless, they're stressful, right?

Whether it be ensuring you stay composed amid all the nerves, or asking that all-important question to the employer upon the conclusion of the interview, there's certainly a lot to stay conscious of.

And now we've even got bosses bringing in tests in an attempt to catch candidates out.

So, any tips to ensure a job interview goes smoothly are always welcome - and businesswoman Emma Grede has recently offered her words of wisdom.

The 42-year-old is a founding partner of Skims alongside her husband, Jens Grede, and Kim Kardashian in 2019 and also partnered with Khloé Kardashian to launch her fashion brand, Good American, in 2016.

During an appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Grede said that work-life balance shouldn't be on the agenda while interviewing for a new role, claiming it's your 'personal responsibility' to manage picking the kids up from school with your day job.

"Work-life balance is your problem. It isn't your employer's responsibility," the Skims founding partner told podcast host Steven Bartlett.

"When somebody talks to me about their work-life balance in an interview process, I'm like, 'Is something wrong with you.'"

While Grede spends most of her weekends on the beach in Malibu, she often has her laptop out on Saturdays and claims that it is expected of anyone who wants to live an 'extraordinary life'.

To ensure a better work-life balance some Millennials have even embarked on 'quiet vacationing' instead of asking their boss for time off.

It's kind of similar to a 'workation' which sees employees head off on vacation, but they're technically still working, just from a different location.

It means staff can enjoy working in a new place, without taking any of those precious annual leave days.

Of course, it's much easier for employees who work entirely remotely and don't have to appear in many meetings or calls.

But there's another, slightly more sinister trend going around, which sees Millennials appearing to be working but really they're doing other things, such as getting their hair done, seeing friends or even relaxing at home.

Apparently, scheduling emails and sending the odd message to keep things ticking over helps create the idea that they're busy at their laptops.

Libby Rodney, Chief Strategy Officer at The Harris Poll, told CNBC: "There’s a giant workaround culture at play.

"They will figure out how to get appropriate work-life balance, but it’s happening behind the scenes. It’s not exactly quiet quitting, but more like quiet vacationing."
