There are some common interview questions that most companies use, such as ‘where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’ Then there are the more obscure ones, such as ‘what is your least favourite thing about humanity?’Job site Glassdoor has compiled its ‘Top 25 Oddball Interview Questions for 2014’, which are gathered from real-life interview candidates and their unexpected experiences.
Apple, Goldman Sachs and Yahoo were among the organisations asking prospective employees unusual questions, some of which could be answered with one word (‘do you believe in Bigfoot?’), while others would have required very detailed responses (‘how lucky are you and why?’).
Other interview questions included ‘if you were a pizza deliveryman, how would you benefit from scissors?’ and ‘have you ever been on a boat?’
Take a look at the full list or Glassdoor’s collection of serious common interview questions, and tell us if you’ve ever been asked an unexpected question in an interview.
