In addition to expertise and capacity, many places also ask candidates some very strange questions that seem unrelated to the job.

With the continuous development of society, many companies when recruiting people also become more strict. In addition to expertise and capacity, many places also ask candidates some very strange questions that seem unrelated to the job. Actually, this is to assess the candidate’s ability to react on the spot, communication skills, logical thinking, how you react under pressure and adaptability.

For example, a series of “weird” interview questions from companies like Amazon: “If you were from Mars, how would you solve the problem?”. UBS interview question: “Why are manhole covers round?”. If your ability to react on the spot is good, leaving a good impression on the interviewer, the probability of being accepted is very high.

After the first interview and the writing test went well, Luu Phien thought he had a 90% chance of getting the job. However, unexpectedly in the additional interview, in addition to the questions about skills, the HR director suddenly asked a question that made the three candidates gasp in surprise: A chopstick cannot be broken, how can it be shortened?

The first interviewer was a girl, she didn’t know the intention of the interviewer’s question, but the question was too strange, so she answered: “To make a chopstick shorter, but not a saw , break it or cut it short? Really, I can only cut it off.” This answer is of course not accepted by the employer.

The second applicant replied, “I’m here to apply for a professional job, not to answer these boring questions. Let other job seekers play this time-wasting game with you. I Still in a hurry to attend the next company interview, bye.” Having said that, he left, with an annoyed expression. The interviewer said nothing and motioned for the next person to answer.
