Hi Guys and Dolls,
With employers having the advantage to be more and more selective with who they hire due to the record breaking number of people out of work, are they taking interview questions too far?
Here is a list of top ten questions that have been reported by job seekers:
“Tell me the restaurant where you dined last night?” – Ernst & Young consultant candidate (location n/a)
“Do you feel you had a normal childhood?” – Gentex mechanical engineer candidate (Zeeland, Mich.)
“If you can grow anything on a tree, what would it be?” – Red Frog Events event coordinator candidate (Chicago, Ill.)
“If you were in the movie 'The Wizard of Oz,' which character do you most relate with and why?” – National Contract Management Association customer service representative candidate (Ashburn, Va.)
“Would you rather be ranked No. 1 in the office and hated by everyone or No. 15 in the office but well-liked?” – ADP outside sales representative candidate (location n/a)
“If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have with you?” – Cisco Human Resources manager candidate (location n/a)
“Jeff Bezos walks into your office and says you can have a million dollars to launch your best entrepreneurial idea. What is it?" – Amazon product development candidate (Seattle, Wash.)
“My clock is nine minutes slow every hour. At noon, it tells the correct time. After how many hours will it again tell the correct time?” – Bloomberg L.P. financial applications engineer candidate (New York, N.Y.)
“If you had five red balls that contained four red balls and those red balls contained the original five red balls, then how many sets of sets of balls would I take to have a double set of red balls of varying sizes inside each next largest red ball?” – Goldman Sachs investment banking vice president candidate (New York, N.Y.)

If you were asked one of these questions in an interview would you try to intelligently answer it? I would think what any employer would seek is an honest reliable worker. It would be very difficult for me not to say "this is a joke right, and your testing my honesty here". Then again i prolly wouldn't get the job either!
