65 Job Interview Questions So Bizarre, You Won’t Believe They’re Real

“These are what I call curveball questions,” Adam shared. “They are not common in interviews but do pop up every now and again, particularly in smaller companies/start-ups, where the interview guidelines tend to be a bit looser!”

Man in gray sweater conducting job interview with woman, illustrating ridiculous questions asked during job interviews. I was interviewing for a reporting job at a community paper in Sedona, AZ.

“What is your best ‘Sedona moment?'”

I’m not sure I know what you mean….

“You know…that moment when something weirdly unexpected and unexplained happens to you because you’re in Sedona. Like, one time I went out to garage sales on a Saturday, and as I left the house, I thought to myself ‘I could use a hammock.’ And then the first place I went had this great hammock for sale. It was meant to be. You know, a Sedona moment.”

I got the job, worked there a year. Weird place.

However, you can think about how you would respond to a curveball question in the interview.”
