I have a weakness for bizarre interview questions so Yahoo’s Oddball Interview Questions was a must read. Apparently these questions are couched as a method for determining if a candidate will fit into the corporate culture.
Right.
Anyway, the article provides more insight into how to handle these questions as opposed to the actual questions themselves. Still, a couple of dandies are in there:
“What would I find in your refrigerator?”
“What did you want to be when you were 10 years old?”
You know, some times just having an open, clear discussion with a candidate will accomplish more than some loaded, oddball question.
