Dr. Pomade Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 That was a really good list. Kind of surprised because don't you normally 'interview' people for things other than jobs? I'm interviewing you right now to determine if you should remain my friend. Sorry, you're fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUGT Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 My favorite interview question is, "What would you say if I told you this interview wasnt going well?" If they panic immediately, you know you have a potential problem. If they come up with a creative answer or even a sarcastic answer, I know I have a free thinker. In my line of work, being able to think on your toes and react to every situation in a seamless manner is critical. Great topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Sometimes, when I'm interviewing someone, I'll punch them in the face. If they fall over and start crying, I know I have a quitter on my hands; if they just stare at me in shock, I know I've got someone who can't handle pressure situations; if they get all pissed and try to fight back, then I know I've got an anger-management liability on my hands; and if they start saying things like, "This is ridiculous! You'll hear from my lawyer!" then I know they're overly litigious and likely to be a real thorn for the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 ^Point Taken. I think if you put my question in context, however, you can get some valuable info. The point of the question is to throw them a slight curve. Don't you ever get tired of hearing the same "canned" answers to the same "canned" questions?

Sorry, I didn't mean anything toward you by my post - I was just being stupid with what I posted. In all honesty, I think that question you posted is ingenious. And, to answer your question, yes, I do get tired of hearing the same canned answers to canned questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
