Episode 61: Hear HERE! The Most Random & wEiRd Job Interview Questions!

There are your standard issue questions in that manager's office (or NOW with Zoom video). You know these. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years," or "why should we hire you?" Fine. Got those. But what about the oddball questions? Spoiler Alert: Most of those strange questions have no right or wrong answer. Lucky us. I'll give my answers to three of these really-way-out-there ones.

  1. "Do you believe in Bigfoot?" I believe in the legend and the marketing of the Big Foot brand. Name and brand awareness are vital to any successful person or business. Mr. Foot checks both of those boxes.
  2. "Are you more of a hunter or gatherer?" I'm not refusing to make this choice, but the reality is today that one should do both. I know people actually "lean" more towards one than the other, so, personally, I would choose "hunter," then "mentoring" after the fact on how to gather for the good of the team.
  3. "What was the last gift you gave someone?" Gift card. But understand this is not the easy way out. Hopefully, I would know this person well enough to understand which products or services are most important to the gift receiver, and give specifically based on that.

    4. (Easy for me to say, right? Since I did not have the face-to-face experience.) But WAIT, there's more! I have enlisted a couple of friends in the media industry to help me do a deeper dive into the World of The Weird Questions. Creative? Or just stupid? You decide.
