Odd Ball Interview QuestionsI've been asked some random questions during interviews before, but nothing quite like this. The most entertaining question I can remember (and made me respect the interviewer a great deal) was when somebody asked me what the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow was. I answered, in perfect Monte Python form, "African or European?" I didn't get the job, but I got a blog reader out of it, so it equaled out (would've liked the job better, but what can you do?). 10 Commentszenwanderer said on 12/05/04 @ 02:27 PM:My strangest question: In a small room you have a refridgerator, if you left the door of the 'fridge open would the temp in the room fall or would the temp in the 'fridge rise? Why? Angie said on 12/05/04 @ 08:02 PM: I must be a sick person! And here I was thinking "African or European" could be taken in a pervy way. (shrugs) I need to go wash my mind out with soap! pb said on 12/05/04 @ 08:36 PM: "laden or unladen?" would have been an acceptable follow-up as well. Jake said on 12/05/04 @ 11:12 PM: Angie: I don't want to know. pb: I'm confused. If he's asking about an unladen, me replying "laden or unladen" wouldn't make any sense, would it? Maybe it's late and I'm just stupid... pb said on 12/05/04 @ 11:15 PM: nah, you're right! I would have been deducted points for not listening to the *whole* question. Jake said on 12/05/04 @ 11:20 PM: OK, good, I'm not losing my mind. You had me worried for a sec, Man. Josh said on 12/07/04 @ 06:38 PM: Hey, man, I try not to just be a reader. I try to post comments, too. Especially to posts that are about me. Hope all is well. :-) Jake said on 12/07/04 @ 11:04 PM: Hehe....was wondering how long until you found this post, Josh. pril said on 12/08/04 @ 03:11 AM: in desperation i applied at a Subway once, and one of the questions on the app is "What's the most important part of the sandwich?" , which i thought was retarded.. totally. Bread, of course, when you're a carb addict like me. but NOOOO! It's the SMILE! Thank god i didnt get that stupid job. Bobby said on 05/05/09 @ 09:43 PM: Practice makes perfect!
