Interview Questions-need advice

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!

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.

^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.
