Silliest Interview Questions

Sound Bite · 08-09-2010 08:06PM #1

A friend had an interview with a medical devices company yesterday and two of the questions asked were:

(1) What would you do if you wont the lotto?
(2) Are you a dog or a cat person? :rolleyes:

What is the silliest/wierdest interview questions you've ever been asked?

I s'pose you could kinda judge the kind of person they are by, at least, the first question.

Second one is fluff though.

I haven't had an interview in years, but I hate that "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" b.s. question. No one ever answers honestly.
I'd love to just be like "hm, 5 years? I'd have to say in 5 years I'd like to be on a private island going to town on Miranda Kerr...."

I got asked this one two combination before..."How would your friends describe you?" which is fine ...followed by "How would your enemies desribe you? WTF!...I answered this question the same as the first just to see the look on her repugnant face

Got asked was I on medication at an bank interview in the Burlington hotel once. The receptionist said they were all Garda so maybe it was a sting?

It's a great question.

Interview tip: not everyone sees the funny side of necrophilia.

Why, 5 years from now I intend to be mindlessly doing monotonous tasks for little to no wages at this very company sir/madam!

"We expect you to be able to be calm with customers and solve tough calls by yourself. What would happen if they were shouting?"
"Calmly explain that I am here to help."
"But what if it didnt work?"
"Remain calm and ask again how I can help as I can solve their problem."
"But what if it didn't work still?"
"Ask the customer again to stay calm and explain the problem?"
"But what if it STILL didnt work?"
"I'm pretty sure it would."
"But what if?"
"It would work."
"But what if!?"
"Jesus I don't know hand it to a supervisor?"
"Exactly! Took your time there..."
:mad:

Stupid HR wan got all confused and said 'I mean in this industry'

The best way to do this is to FLIP it on the interviewer, like so:

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

You: No no, The question is where do YOU see YOURSELF in 5 years?

Then copy their answer;)

What are your weaknesses?

Does anyone ever answer that question truthfully like? Actually all interview questions are stupid when you think about it.. they should have stanardised exams instead!

Lux23 · 08-09-2010 08:25PM

Does my bum look in big this skirt?

The answer is always no.

I have an italian surname and several times I was asked if I own a chipper? I mean grown people have actually thought this was an appropriate question to ask.

When I moved from Ireland to the US, I quickly went through a bunch of interviews to get the feel of things. 90% of the interviews was me being questioned on things in Ireland.

I too have had the friends/enemies question thrown at me, mentioned previously!
