Some people even train for interviews to raise their likelihood of landing the job. But all that preparation cannot circumvent that some strange interview questions are asked.
During an interview, the questioner received a phone call, then asked the possible new employee to get them a coffee with cream and sugar from the coffee machine.
Having an interviewer asks you to tell them what they forgot to ask you sounds surreal, but I assure you it's real. One person received this question. I'm not sure how one would even respond to this.
In one meeting for a job, the boss took the “fly on the wall” literally. Asking someone to pretend they are a fly and break down their day sounds odd and creepy.
In a strange way of phrasing the best and worst qualities question, an employer told a prospective new workforce member to pretend they are a car with two bumper sticks.
Sometimes what makes a question strange is how out of place they are for the position. A potential lifeguard had to answer which dinosaur they would be and why.
