Coming Up With Answers To Crazy Job Interview Questions




By Joel Vance

If you want to get that amazing new job, you are first going to
have to learn the answers to common job interview questions. The
majority of the interview questions that you have thrown at you
will be typical interview fare, but a company may decide to throw
you a curve ball in the form of a crazy job interview question. This
is starting to happen more and more, it is becoming quite a trend
actually, so you need to take some time to learn what these
interview questions might be so that you can answer them quickly
and in a manner that leads to you getting the job.

There is a method to an employer's madness when they use an
"out of the ordinary" job interview question - and that's to get you
thinking fast. In most cases the employer is testing you to see if
you can think on your feet or if you are creative enough to work
well in this job position. If the interviewer doesn't think you have
what it takes because of your answers to the job interview
questions, then you will not get the position.

Before you go into any job interview try to keep an open mind.
Prep your imagination a bit to get it flowing freely just in case you
get some of these crazy job interview questions asked of you. You
can't afford to freeze up during an interview; because if you do, it
is all over. So go in prepared, or at least as prepared as you can
be.

Here are a few of the strange and yet rather common job interview
questions that you may run across:

If you were an animal what kind of animal would you choose to
be?

Choose an animal that is efficient at everything that it does and
one that is often very busy.

What kind of fruit would you be?

You should choose a fruit that tastes good in a fruit salad along
with many other fruits. This can be used to show that you are a
team player who works well with others all of the time.

What would be the very first thing that you would do if you won
the lottery?

This is a gauge of your priorities. Whatever you do don't say you
would quit your job.

Think about the answers to these sorts of job interview questions
before you go into the interview. This way even if these particular
interview questions don't get asked you will still have an idea of
the types of answers that you should be giving.
