How many times were you asked odd questions during the interview?
In hotel industry not a lot because it is not really technical but at Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon or any engineering companies you have a great chance to be asked odd questions depending on the job you are applying. The questions seem to be odd but still makes you think. It reminds me GMAT questions. Sometimes questions don't have any relevance to the company. Just have a look here for the questions asked in 2011.
I have been working for almost 12 years now. I went through several job interviews and I can tell you the questions are more or less the same. Most of the interviews were for the jobs in my native country (Uzbekistan). In France I had interviews only in hotels so far. Here again the questions are almost the same but depending on the hotel and the HR manager. Sometimes the questions are rhetorical. Unfortunately I haven't been asked any odd question so far.
Could you please share if you had been asked an odd question during an interview. Thank you very much.
I think it's a great thing these companies ask questions which test general intelligence and lucidity.
ReplyDeleteOften people have 3 diplomas, loads of education, but are not necessarily bright.
In order to find a better employee, such questions should be asked!
