Maz3 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I once had a big fat bloke on an interview panel asking me what I thought he'd had for breakfast . They are just trying to knock you off balance to see how you cope. That was Sheffield social services btw, about 20 years ago. To be fair I don't think that nonsense is allowed now; the questions all have to have a clear purpose and be relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angos Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I wonder if Alan Sugar ever danced or did backflips while juggling at an interview.

cressida Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Alan Sugar seems to think these things important. Not as important as himself though - I've only ever attended serious interviews but if I was in the mood I'd grab their arms and make them join in:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz3 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 What was your answer? The last job candidate. I was a bit young and naive in those days, so I think I just gawped at him and said how would I know? Didn't get the job that time, but I was ready for him next time. It's the kind of stunt you can only pull off once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Hans Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 There's such an imbalance of power at a job interview that there really needs to be legislation to protect the candidates. I would dance at a job interview for no reason ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
