The 9 Oddest Job Interview Questions at Tech Companies in 2011

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.

Zukerberg ( Israeli intrepreneur) is a co-founder of a Like Store social marketing company. This company can help other companies who would like to have more Likes of their webpage. Zukerberg was rejected to create a profile on Facebook in January.

In September, Perkins Coie, Facebook's law firm warned to sue against Zukerberg claiming that the Like Store violated the Terms of Service of Facebook. It is after that the interpreneur decided to change his name.

Personal evaluation of my Blog

ANALYTICAL & INSIGHTFUL

Dogital marketing is new for me. I never had a blog before? I even didn't have any clear idea about blogs.
I think I am doing quite well. I am not very good at analysing the articles but I am trying my best.
I post at least one article and a video per week. Try to comment the articles of others if it is interesting for me. I do my homework everyweek which helps me to better understand digital marketing and how it works.
In short, I am happy that I am discovering new things.
