My cousin was summoned for a job interview just that her prospect boss set the appointment for a bar, on a Sunday afternoon. When she asked him why was that so, he said he could not manage to the interview her at the office on the working days anytime in the future, cause his schedule was too busy.
She is not so sure it is ok. Is it?

If she's not sure, I would say no. It's not only that she doesn't want to look desperate, but she doesn't want to feel desperate either. Since she doesn't see this interview as being at the optimal location the chances are that the job isn't the perfect one for her either. And since it's a job interview, even if the situation isn't safe, it's hard to take a buddy along. Plus if the interviewer's job is so busy that this is the only slot that he can fit her in, you would question the expectations of the company.

An interview doesn't have to be at the office, but if there is a football game on or the bar will otherwise be loud, she should move the interview elsewhere. A lot of business gets done in restaraunts, bars, etc.
If it turns out that it's not an interview and its a lame way to ask for a date, she should throw her drink in his face.

I am con fussed is the interview on a bar or for a bar? do you not mean in a bar? If so yes it is OK to go because it is a public place let her take a friend. Even if the firend waits outside or near the entrance.

Sounds like someone I'm not sure I'd want to work for. What kind of business does interviews in a bar?

Depends on the type of job...and the bar. If it is some seedy place...no don't go. The best case scenario is the make sure she doesn't drink and let her judgement be her guide. If she feels awkward during the interview, then she should leave as soon as possible.

I wouldn't pass up an interview if the potential new boss said "meet me at a bar." That sounds like a fun job.

It doesn't really matter where the location of the interview is located in, but unless it's atleast adequate enough to stay for the interview(what I mean is by that the location isn't offensive, or disruptive to the interviewer or the client).

Depends... the bar could be fine, a restaurant.. doenst matter really where it is. However, it sounds like he is trying to get something more than an interview out of her.

Unusual, but understandable. If the bar is not open to the public at that time, don't go. Also, if he asks even one question that looks fishy, stand up, say, I'm sorry, there must be a mistake, and leave.

It doesn't sound right to me, but if she must go, then make sure, she has a friend or two, go & sit, somewhere else in the Bar, just in case things, aren't what there suppose to be, that way, she can give a signal to them, that things are not good.
