swordfish1 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The best question I got asked was, "I can't be arsed with the interview, the job's yours, do you want it?" One and only question for a promotion. Not reet nice for the others who were still waiting for their interviews though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MkII Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Can we all cut the <removed> charade and let's just both be honest... we're here because we have a role to fill, you're here because you want to earn money (so no giving me any clichéd tripe pretending otherwise); here is what we want you to do, this is how much we will pay you, and this is when you will be expected to work, can you do it? Ok, it didn't actually happen, but if it did it would be refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdnaKrabappe Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 A telephone interview for a place I really wanted to work when I was 17 ; "Do you currently have a job?" Me: "Yes, yes I do." Telephoner: "Ok sorry to have bothered you, bye." Me: (shouting dementedly) "NO,NO,NO I want another one!" I got the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Would you be prepared to babysit for the boss if his wife is in a foul mood,and would you be prepared to cheer up the wife if she's there at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 When asked on a teaching interview "Why should we employ a Russian teacher?" I replied that I was British and therefore ineligible,and that they must have asked themselves that question before advertising and therefore knew the answer already.I did not get the job.

ampersand Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I was once asked "what is the one question you don't want to be asked?" I said "you can ask me anything" - not sure if it made any difference but I got the job - I found out subsequently that there were only two on the shortlist and the other didn't turn up for interview!

Norbert Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ‘On average, how long does it take before you get bored with any given job, lose all motivation and start taking the p**s?’ Is what they should have asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
