What's the strangest question you've been asked in a job interview?

[Randy@StradaFab]

  I've worked for the same company 15 years in one of the manufacturing plants. An opening recently came up at corporate I thought I might be interested in, so I called a guy I knew pretty well and got an interview with the dept. head.
  It was going pretty well until out of the blue he says "So how's it gonna go if I tell you to go to hell everyday?" WTF!!! So I tell him it isn't going to go well at all. Then he says "Yeah, that's what I thought." He kinda laughed like it was a joke, but I think he serious about it too.
  I've known this guy for a year or so and been in several meetings with him, always seemed like one of those guys that is really driven but I didn't know he was such a dick.

And the correct answer was:

well after a few weeks of that I would probably let you in on the fact that I'm make the beast with two backsing your mother.

what a dick.

For the record..... Hell is in Redding CA. I know...... my ex wife runs Hell.

Maybe he just needs you to travel to Redding.

  This company really isn't looking for someone that can do a good job. They want someone that "fits" the team. In other words you swear allegience to the company. Almost like Nazi's, cept they can't kill ya....legally anyway.

Strangest interview question?  "What's your favorite animal?"

I answered, "Rhino."

She said, "Act it out..."



I got the job, btw...

"What historical figure would you most like to have lunch with?"

I wanted to say George Donner, but I bit my tongue.

Yeah, I'd say you read that right. Boss-man wants a punching bag.

or.... the boss man is fun and curses at work and wants to see if you'd rat him out to the HR nazis

Have you ever looked at pornography?
Have you ever looked at child pornography?
What color is the door behind me?
Would you rather suck on frozen poop for 30 second or lick all the bugs off a semi truck grill?
Would you rather lick a toad head to toe or lick a 4in square on a urinal?
Would you rather wear a purple beret everywhere or dance a jig every time you enter a room?

What are your weaknesses?

Been asked that a few times

I once answered " We don't have enough hours in a day to cover that topic"

I said it with a smile on my face...but I had already decided I did not want the job

They called with an offer several days later

lol the first three was for a serous job.  So I was actually hooked up to a lie detector of sorts.  I was told to lie about the door question to create a baseline.

The last three where for IKEA.  The manager conducting the interview were really fun.  They were ice breakers to see who was outgoing in our group interview.

[Veloce-Fino]

I graduate in may... not to excited to become a professional interviewer.

I can foresee a LOT of these strange questions.

So far from friends I've heard:

"why are manhole covers round"
"if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be"
"have you ever stolen"

Have you ever looked at pornography?

What did you say ?
