Bizarre interview questions

[kick it off 1,948]

Just a bit of fun to see how bad others have had it...

I got 'if I paint a picture of a tree, does that tree then exist?' at an interview last year.

Also had 'which Harry Potter character would you be and why?'

Does every profession have these inane pointless questions or is it specific to teaching?

I've interviewed a fair few people in my time and would never ask questions like that- hate it.

Not a bizarre one but I roll my eyes at 'what is your biggest weakness?'

Of course not, it’s just a picture 🙄

Did you get the job? If so it was the right answer!

'Would you like a solicitor present' was the usual question

The bizarre bit was usually my answer

as my though was

..... you have to 'give it a go' however obvious it is

I did get the cane at the CNS for answering a stupid question.

A couple of us copied another lads homework at morning break and were caught. We were told to go to the Headmaster's study,

The lady secretary showed us in and said (names changed to protect the innocent) "White, Brown and Green, Headmaster"

He then said "So you're White, Green and Brown"

And I replied "Well we aren't the Beverley Sisters" accentuating his superfluous question.

Sore jacksie for a day.

But I know what you mean KIO. Its like people who always have to put your name at the end of a statement. Say it once out of respect and manners and leave it.
