questions asked at a job interview...

[spongy]

My mate works for a consultancy in web design and he's on the interview panel, they like to throw in a curve ball question to test a sense of personality, the last one they asked at the interview was "who would win in a fight between superman and batman?"

After pondering for a minute I plumped for superman, as after all, even though batman has cool gadgets, he is not superman! Who can't be beaten, ever.

But the lad who got the job apparently pondered it for a minute and answered "well this obviously Marvel comics vs DC comics so that fight could never happen...."

Great answer.

I'd be a fish who didn't get caught by going for the bait.

All that proves is that he was a geek, surely?

If the aim of the interview process was to recruit a comic-book geek, then I guess it worked for them.

Indeed - it still means nothing to me.

That's really stupid.

The fight could never happen because they are ficticious characters in childrens comics, they don't exist you f***ing nause geek wanker, now get out of my interview

To quote Dad's Army

I think you'll find that's actually to mis-quote Dad's Army:

[Justice]

All this sounds like is some suited wanker patronizing people, who f***ing cares what fish you would be? I would punch the prick in the face.

 

[desprateseagull]

Say nothing. Hand them a note saying 'if i am a fish, i cant speak, or hear you. can we get on with a proper job jinterview..?

 

[Questions]

Well if you were a fish and you were sitting in someone's office answering questions as part of a job interview then you would be a fish out of water and f***ing dead.
The last job interview I went for was 33 years ago and the only question I was asked was, "You a grafter son" ?

 

[Lankyseagull]

Worst I've had... "What is the angle between clock hands at 10 to 2... Talk me through your thinking all the way... If you stop talking I'll assume you've stopped thinking"

120 degrees.

360 degrees on a clock face. 12 numbers. 360/12=30 (degrees). 4 numbers between 10 and 2. 4x30=120.

Unless it's a digital clock......

But the lad who got the job apparently pondered it for a minute and answered "well this obviously Marvel comics vs DC comics so that fight could never happen...."

Great answer.

It WOULD be a great answer if he was right. Batman and Superman are DC comics and they have regularly teamed up and fought.. I hope you quoted something incorrectly otherwise it doesn't say much for that company...

 

[Bad Ash]

120 degrees.

360 degrees on a clock face. 12 numbers. 360/12=30 (degrees). 4 numbers between 10 and 2. 4x30=120.

You need to adjust for the fact that the hour hand hasn't quite reached 2, so the answer is 115 (120 minus 50/60 minutes * 60 degrees).

The correct answer is, of course:

"If you give me the job, I'll be Brill."

 

[Vegas Seagull]

A Singer

 

[yxee]

when asked a question like that, you just have to be koi

 

[Bad Ash]

You need to adjust for the fact that the hour hand hasn't quite reached 2, so the answer is 115 (120 minus 50/60 minutes * 60 degrees).

I of course meant 120 - (1/6 * 30 degrees) = 115.

 

[Spiritualised]

Wet

 

[Spiritualised]

I of course meant 120 - (1/6 * 30 degrees) = 115.

OR -skip the math, answer anything you like and blame Salvador Dali.

 

[Gary Leeds]

but it could be 245 degrees

I have heard that Apple interviews can be a bit strange, first interview is held in a group of 20-30 others with no one to one discussion, infact the whole thing is just 2 hours of chatting and talking to other candidates with a bit of interaction from the recruitment staff
