rockpile Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I'm not looking for jokes. I'm looking for one question that you may have asked or been asked that was different from the typical "Describe a time when you took the initiative to....." In an hour interview, I have plenty of time to ask the "interview" questions. I like to see the reaction of someone having to answer a question they have never thought of before. Not looking for wise guys, just looking for someone who is personable and can think on their feet. And by the way, everyone lies in interviews. It's the interviewer's job to see through that. 647158[/snapback] Ask what the last book they read was, and if they liked it; I was asked that once. You could ask the same about a movie.

You could ask the same about a movie. 648495[/snapback] That would stump a non-reader like me. "So what was the last book you read?" "One Fish, Two Fish." "Did you like it?" "Plot was okay. Characters were a bit bland. Not a big fan of iambic pentameter."

Try Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Seuss - actually very good for kids and adults
