65 Job Interview Questions So Bizarre, You Won’t Believe They’re Real
“You’re really overqualified … why are you applying here?”
While applying for a warehouse job at a Target Distribution Center. Wound up working there seven years.
For a job at a smoothie place I was asked what i would do if a customer went to leave and it was raining outside.
Did they expect me to walk them to their car with an umbrella? I still don’t know how i was supposed to answer that one…
Had a male CEO ask how I would make sure my voice is heard as a woman in a male dominated field (not verbatim, can’t remember the exact nonsense). MF, what culture do YOU foster where that is the question that is top of mind? This was for an individual contributor tech sales position at a company big enough that the CEO being directly involved in the hiring process was its own red flag.
Eh, I’d take a dumb question over the “do you believe in our company” questions.
“If we couldn’t pay you, would you stay here?”.
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
Well I’ll either be sat where you are (a), or I’ll be elsewhere (b), or just happy keeping a stable wage (c)…..
a) you are after my job. Won’t hire coz you’ll replace me
b) hmmmmm not a good hire they won’t be here to cause change
c) Has no ambition won’t hire.
Why do you want this job?
I know it’s a standard question, but really, I’m sure they just get the same responses over and over again. You and I both know that I applied for over a hundred jobs, I’m here because you guys invited me in for an interview. I want this job because it’s in my field and I need money just like everybody else.
