What kind of __________ would you be?
-- Tree -- Oak: strong roots -- OR sapling, young and flexible
-- Animal -- Eagle: soars to great heights, sees the big picture (no natural predators)
-- Superhero -- I hadn't thought about that BUT, if you've practiced these kinds of interview questions and are a pretty quick thinker anyway -- just PICK ONE and come up with that heroes best attributes. Without giving it much thought I'd just say Superman or Wonder Woman and pick a reason. The question is BS anyway...so just pick something and go with it.
I'll say one thing, these questions do i make you a better BS artist.
-- Piece of furniture -- duh.... lamp: because it illuminates any situation. Actually the first thing I thought of -- given that I'm sitting in a rocking chair right now -- was "rocking chair....because "it rocks!
" But that's not a good JOB INTERVIEW answer.
-- Piece of office equipment -- pencil: because it's useful in many situations.
-- Food -- candy: because it's tasty was the first thing I thought of...but prob.ab.ly not a good interview answer
So let's go with -- yet again -- picking up on the flexibility and versatility theme.....flour: because it can be used in many situations.
I'm telling you: practice, and once you catch on to the game...it's not that hard to play.
It's unfortunate that in many, many cases interviewing and hiring has come to this, but it is what it is.
