Stupidest Job Interview Question, answer, experience

[Said1]

The dumbest question I've ever encountered is "What inspires you?" I remember thinking "wtf does that have to do with answering the phone?" I forget what I said.

I'm sure, "I put no value in money. You don't have to pay me, my child and I live on grace." Even Jesus wouldn't have said that!

I forgot about this one "in your own words, write down what you think the phrase 'money is the root of all evil' means". I forget what I wrote in answer to that too.

This was on a job interview? What kind of business?

This was on a job interview? What kind of business?

Real Estate or property management. It was a receptionist position.

I probably would have ripped the application in half and left.

It was during the interview. I didn't get the job, obviously I didn't "wow" her with my answer.

 

[Mr. P]

"What inspires you?"

I got it! I got it!

Answer: Why that would be the opportunity to work with MORONS!!, just like you!

Did I get the job? Darn....

Did I get the job? Darn....

Yes. Well. We'll be in touch.

 

[Mr. P]

Yes. Well. We'll be in touch.

The nice PC way to say "FORGET IT".

Ahh, then I would have told her I wouldn't work for anyone who would ask a question like that on an interview and walked out. Depending on how bad a mood I was in, I might have to leave her with a few parting gifts!

 

[Mr. P]

Don't know about the dumbest...But I hate, "Why do you want to work here?".

And....did he hire you?

 

[Annie]

And....did he hire you?

Well in a weak moment he asked me about hiring me. So he must have a job, whether or not that one?

 

[manu1959]

And....did he hire you?

no....it certainly was funny to watch him when he came before me when i was the chairman of the local design review commission and he needed his project approved

 

[Annie]

no....it certainly was funny to watch him when he came before me when i was the chairman of the local design review commission and he needed his project approved

Fly on the wall moment, I'm sure.

 

[Mr. P]

no....it certainly was funny to watch him when he came before me when i was the chairman of the local design review commission and he needed his project approved

Gotta love the pay-backs!!

If you were an animal would you be a:

1. Lion?
2. Elephant?
3. Dog?
4. blah, blah?

I forget the animals that they listed but you get the basic idea.

I would've said its lyrics to a Pink Floyd song, called Money. It's a good song, therefore money itself must be good, and the forementioned statement is either false or you and I and all Pink Floyd fans are indeed, evil.


Then he'd go
