There seems to be a trend now for interviewers to search google to compile their interviews, and come up with ridiculous questions. I was at one last year for a graphic design job, showed them the online CV via laptop, a few animated presentations, work, designed them a company advert. They seemed quite impressed. Then gave a brief speech about my skills and what I could offer. They nodded and then they asked me;
”If you were a cup of coffee, which kind would it be and where would you like to be drunk and by whom?” (They said who).
They went on to ask me a series of other questions, they’d obviously downloaded from somewhere for a call centre job, that had absolutely no relevance in anyway to the job, or how my skills might be needed. Lacking in any thought or meaning, it was the most pathetic thing I’ve seen. HR by google. Like idiots who download Sheffield, Alabama pictures from google instead of hiring a photographer to take proper shots of the city.
Didn’t get the job.
Edit: I wasn’t implying your’s was a ridiculous question!
