What is the strangest question you have been asked in an interview?

What's the strangest question or ask you've gotten during an interview? Once during an all day interview with an IT Recruiting firm, I was asked "to pick any celebrity to be my mom or dad, who would it be?". I answered Will Farrell. In that same all day interview, I was forced to make five cold calls in front of the entire sales team and I had never recruited before.

Yeah and it was because of that question I didn't get the job. I talked about a family death and not being able to help my brother get back on his feet and it was hard for me to accept and this VP that asked the question said "that doesn't sound like you failed. But okay" It was my third and final interview and one of the other interviewers that liked me said that VP decided I wasn't a good culture fit.

“As your boss, how would you connect with me?”
”I’d be happy to follow your lead and work around your preferences....”
”But how would you connect with me?”
”Over email, text, phone... I’d make sure to be communicative...”
”And so, how would approach connecting with me?”
”Uhhh... 😐”

To this day, I have no idea what the hell she meant but I got the job 🤷🏻‍♂️

It wasn't for a sales job, but I was asked if I look at my turds in the toilet before I flush.

Explain the color red to me assuming I have been blind all my life - got me out of nowhere!

I love these curve ball questions and have a few of them I use frequently. It shows me how quick on the feet the candidate thinks and responds and how they handle themselves doing it!
