Interview_1

What was the worst job interview question you were ever asked? Good interview questions can help employers judge the technical qualifications, people skills, problem solving approach, and team fit of prospective employees. Bad interview questions do none of those. Instead, they confuse, irk or offend the applicant (often in combination). Our 10 worst job interview questions exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:

Great list. I particularly love their answer for how one should respond to the dreaded question "What is your biggest weakness?"... except I actually consider the idea of working on a full moon a bad idea. I also consider working on Saturday, Sunday and Monday bad ideas too. [Ten.Worst.Job.Interview.Questions Ever. ]

BC

I interviewed at a top Hollywood company (won't say who for career opportunities in the future). I was actually asked in the interview if I liked girls. (Of course I like girls you idiot!!!) Maybe because I'm a snappy dresser I may have conveyed something I'm not - not that theres anything wrong with that. I guess I could have been offended but it's just that it was so brazen it was funny.

At least he didn't ask me if I was a tree what kind of tree would I be.

Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
