25 weirdest interview questions

I haven't seen anybody else post this, so here is an article my buddy just showed me on the top 25 weirdest interview questions of 2010.

25 Weirdest Interview Questions of 2010

I think some of these questions are just stupid, specifically the martial arts question, #3. But a lot of them get very creative. Again, they are looking to see how you think through the question, not so much that you get it correct. My friend said he will memorize the amount of ridges on a quarter along with the answers to all the questions, and then he'll be golden. I told him, no, they will think you have issues and ding you- besides the fact that they will ask a different random question that you won't know the answer to.

Anyway, have fun with it.

 
Inimical:
I went for an interview at Google... One of the interviewers asked me:

The world is running out of oil - how many barrels of oil would the US need to make it through the next two weeks?

19M/day * 14 = 266M barrels (that's 11 billion gallons of crude oil, 42 gallons to a barrel)...and I would answer that off the top of my head (which would totally defeat the purpose, since I'm assuming they want you to try to figure it out instead of already knowing the answer)

(and btw, the 19M is an approximation, there are various definitions for "oil" and depending on which you use, and the date, the number will fluctuate by a M or 2)

 

Any article written on yahoo, msn, google anywhere people can leave comments its interesting to read the comments... and then these people wonder why they don't have well paying jobs....

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Good point. They are often very emotional and opinionated posters. While I think the martial arts question is a poor one, the fact that I don't like it is irrelevant. The fact is that it could be a question that lies between me and a job. For the record, I think the 3 weaknesses question is also a bad one.

I was reading one of the articles on the shooting today and someone said if everyone there had a gun, it would not have been as bad.

I don't know about you guys, but I would be really tempted to say to the interviewer, "Before I answer, may I ask you something? Why are you asking this retarded question in the first place, and what does it have to do with finance?"

I don't know about you guys, but I would be really tempted to say to the interviewer, "Before I answer, may I ask you something? Why are you asking this retarded question in the first place, and what does it have to do with finance?"

I knew a guy who once went to an interview where they asked him some ridiculous math question like what's 3,456 times 7,472?

He then told them "thank you very much" and got up and extended his hand as if to imply "i'm done with this interview". The interviewer said "wait, wait, wait...sit down...why won't you answer the question?"

He cooly replied, "Because, if that question is indicative of the type of work I'm going to be doing for your firm, I don't want to work there; and if your firm can't afford a calculator, then I definitely don't want to work there".

The interviewer laughed, and the interview went on. He ended up getting a second round interview...

(The position was a huge reach for him given his credentials. If you're interviewing for a position that you know is a huge reach, you need to do something to stand out...otherwise you'll just be a part of the herd that gets eliminated because your GPA isn't high enough or whatever)

 

"10. Given the numbers 1 to 1000, what is the minimum number of guesses needed to find a specific number if you are given the hint "higher" or "lower" for each guess you make? (Reportedly from Facebook)"

Wouldn't it be a minimum of 2 guesses or am I missing something here? First being the initial guess and 2nd after being told higher/lower?

You need 9 guesses, with each guess you eliminate half of the numbers, For example if the number was 1000 then the process would go like this (round any decimals to nearest integer):

  1. 500
  2. 750
  3. 875
  4. 937.5 - 938
  5. 969
  6. 984.5 - 985
  7. 992.5 - 993
  8. 996.5 - 997
  9. 998.5 - 999

This strategy is the most optimal one and 9 is the max number of guesses using it. However, the way the question is phrased leaves 1 as a possible answer. If the number is between 750, or even 500, which is possible, the guesses will be fewer than 9. The question does not specify anything beyond the number range and that the goal is to find the minimum guesses.

I was asked what was the biggest animal I could kill with my bare hands in a confined space

How I would respond:

A blue whale. If it is a confined space and I am able to survive in it, then I could assume there is not sufficient water inside it to sustain a blue whale. Thus the simple act of choosing a whale and covering it's blow hole would kill it.

If the interview is a dick and responds that there IS sufficient water to sustain a blue whale, then I'd drown an elephant.

Yeah, that's right, I just shit ALL OVER that question.

Confined as in the animal cannot get away from you. For example, blue whale would just swim away in the ocean. An elephant would kill you before you could even hurt it all.

 

I think some of you missed the point of these questions. A lot of those are exactly the type of questions you would get in a consultancy interview (especially the estimation questions). Interviewers just want to see how you react to the question and how you structure your thoughts to answer the question. I also think that the interviewer wants to see the type of person you. I do agree that the martial arts question is really weird, especially because of the answer he expected.

 

My buddy got a great one in a consulting interview: if you were working in the San Diego zoo, how much would it cost you to rent a panda from a chinese zoo ? As discussed previously I agree that these questions have no clear answer, the thought process and the way candidate structure their calculations is the only thing that really matters actually. I would argue that "what was the biggest animal I could kill with my bare hands in a confined space" is definitely ridiculous though...I believe some of these questions are also launched at you to check your reaction to unexpected situations

 

Here's a good one:

You have a justice weighing scale, and you want to be able to weigh any human in increments of 1 lb. You are only allowed to buy 6 weights though. How should you pick the weights so that you can weigh any human (accurate to the nearest lb).

Assumption: no human weighs more than 350 lbs.

It depends on the context. If the question is being asked as an "interview" question it would be more inappropriate than if the interviewee is simply having a conversation with interviewer and the question comes up ("Oh, cool, you just said you're from India. What state? What language is your first language?). Even if the question is strictly "illegal" it doesn't mean discrimination has occurred, even if the candidate doesn't get the job. If no actual discrimination occurs, there is no real recourse.

 
securitiescrypt:

If this is in the US, your "friend" can sue. An employer cannot ask questions regarding race, religion, sexual orientation, and etc. It is against the law for ANY firm in the U.S. to ask questions regarding the aforementioned subjects.

If there's no discrimination then there is no point in the suit, and the question isn't technically illegal if there is no malice. Asking those questions does not automatically rise to discrimination. If no discrimination actually occurred then there is no case and no damages can be granted.

This article indicates that there technically are no illegal questions, just protected classes (race, gender, religion, etc.), and that intent is what makes a question illegal: http://www.learnvest.com/2013/07/4-inappropriate-interview-questions-an…

 

"You just sue". No you don't, because you got no proof of it. You don't because you don't want to be blacklisted in other companies. You don't because why waste your time. You don't because you probably won't win. You don't because if it's for money, it's peanuts. You don't because you don't just yell out: "It's unfair, am gonna sue you!"

Back to OP: your friend needs to just suck it up. That's life, and there is nothing you can do about it.

This. You have no power over them, and it's their word vs yours. Best case you'll win and make headlines, blacklisting you from every future employer. Worst case no one gives a sh*t (the most likely case), you're blacklisted, and have the rep of becoming the one publicly outed butthurt finance kid post-Vayner.

Calm down.
 

if he didn't get an offer, I wouldn't sue, but I would send HR an email and notify them that there was one interviewer who asked all these questions and he found it extremely inappropriate. Leave it at that and see where it goes...you could get lucky, and the loser who asked you those questions will likely find himself in a giant tubload of shit.

 

If I learned anything from this site, and from others in the industry it's that everyone is friends. You try to fuck the wrong guy and 10 mins later say bye to getting a job anywhere.

This reminds me of a similar thread couple months back, where the guy wanted to sue, too. He obviously decided not to for his own good.

Once I did bad and that I heard ever. Twice I did good and that I heard never.
 

i just don't see how this is inappropriate. you are hiring the person sitting across the table from you and expect this person to be reliable, diligent, and not negligible. if he wants to learn about you as a person, instead of your bullshit rehearsed "strengths and weaknesses", i think he has the right to. why would your friend be embarrassed to answer these questions? clearly, he is not cut out for ib if he can't handle this. seriously, america is breeding fucking pussies who are quick to bitch out and run to the law for help. get a grip.

fyi, i get asked all of these questions all of the time and don't mind speaking on my background. shit, beats facing brainteasers.

 

Only time i have heard this kind of douchiness was some douchebag at ML pressing kids for information for a Financial Advisor role. They want to know if your parents have money and connections. This dude actually was asking people if their parents had black cards. Basically the guy was using interview list of private school kids as leads.

 

I imagine both parties getting lawyers for the performance review.

Anyway the company sounds like a dump. I wouldn't like to work in a place where the interview isn't even over and already a couple of laws have been broken.

 
DCDepository:

There are millions of laws on the books. The interviewee probably broke several on the drive to the office.

This. I broke like 4 laws before I even made it to class today.
 

Lol can you imagine how different the responses to this would be if a landlord had asked the same questions.

personally, i've been asked some in-depth background questions in interviews (including where i grew up, what my parents do, and how i financed school...though this is probably because at the very bottom of my resume, after extra-curriculars, languages and skills/certifications, I include a laundry list of part-time jobs that I've worked in the last 4 years).

it didn't bother me. it just gave me more of an opportunity to talk about myself.

+1 i actually bring up my background story first in my walk me through your resume because my story shows i bit and clawed my way up.
 

That's not weird. It is giving you the opportunity to address one of your strengths. You can set up a question for yourself to knock it down. For instance, "Why would I be a better candidate for the position over someone else?". You can use this to sell yourself one last time, that's basically what an interview is.

 
GGopher21:
the question wasnt meant to be answered

I must not be understanding what you are asking. The way you stated it, it seemed like they were asking you what question they should have asked you that they didn't (or something along those lines) that would display your "interest/eagerness" in the position. NM I guess then.

 

After several rounds of successful interviews, I met the "Head of" an Infrastructure PE fund in Europe for a final interview who asked me: "Where do you see yourself when you are going to be my age?"

I answered something like "Well, I would be thrilled to be in charge of a PE fund, Blah blah blah"..........Big Silence.........

The "Head of" looked at me and said "WRONG! you don't want do that!, the good answer was to be in a paradise island in the Carribeans, rich and surrounded by a GOOD DOZEN of NAKED GIRLS!!!"

That was fairly weird...

You should have asked him how much he was worth. Now that would have been a weird interview question.

As to the OP, I had an interviewer ask me the EXACT same question. It was the last of about 5 or 6 interviewers that day, and it wasn't until the last interview that I realized they all seemed to have a common thread in one of their concerns about my candidacy. So when he asked me that question, I basically just re-iterated a previous question he (a several others had asked), which I had just now realized what they were worried about. So I said "well I noticed several of the people I met with wondered why X, and ... yadda yadda yadda."

Its basically like an interview lifeline. You can discuss a strength if you want, but what you should really be doing is trying to identify a common thread of weakness and addressing it. So when they go back to discuss and everyone is like well "he doesn't eat bologna, surely we can't hire him." The last interviewer will be like "actually, I asked him about that, and it turns out.... blah blah blah."

 
GGopher21:
So I'm wrapping up one of my timeslots at a superday and i get this question

"Whats the one question you would like me to ask you that i already haven't in order to determine how eager you are to work at firm X and how successful you'll be?"

I would actually ask tat to interviewers at the end of my interviews: "Is there anything that I can clear up for you that would show you that I would be a good fit for the job"

It was perfect because it left a really strong ending impression. It allowed me to take care of anything, and they usually would ask me where else I was interviewing which played out in my favor.

 

Ouch tough Q and very hard to answer.. but I find it's a bit unfair to ask this question to a recent undergraduate. I've come across this before, and it seems like the interviewer already has more qualified applicants applying and he's just being a prick to you..

 

Obnoxious questions like this get asked in S&T interviews all the time. Traders are allowed to do this because everyone knows there's a certain lack of social graces; I am surprised to see it coming from PE where folks are required to make their living largely off of soft skills. Here's a sample answer that might go over well:

I'm really glad you asked that. A few years ago, I was earning $10/hour mowing lawns. I know the value of a dollar and how much value I need to deliver to earn the kind of money you guys are paying. I'm hungrier and I'm going to take less for granted. If you want someone with a few years of experience that may or may not be relevant and an expensive degree which may or may not be helpful, a Harvard MBA might be a good choice. But you're looking for a better alternative- that's why you've stayed open-minded about who you'd interview, and a hungry college kid like me just might be your man.

This question is a lot easier to answer if you've got confidence going into the interview. Some people start with more of it than others, but you'll pick it up as the early part of your career progresses.

The bottom line is that the interviewer is mildly bored and is putting things bluntly- trying to find a reason to consider you rather than the competition. Or he's trying to gauge how much grace you've got under pressure. Or he is an ass and wants some other guy to get the job. It's a difficult question for an untrained college student to have to dance through, but if you can answer it with grace, sobriety, a little bit of assertiveness, and a smile, you've either earned the interviewer's respect- or he at least knows you're a force to be reckoned with in the decision process. The fact that you are a 22-year-old college kid up against 26-year-old MBAs is really a compliment that should make you smile, if anything.

 

These are the questions you should excel at. (Assuming you didn't go to H/Y/P/S/W, etc. (Assuming you didn't because he's asking why he should pick you over the other person)) This is the time to tell him how hard you've worked to be competing against the other H/Y/P person and how you'll continue that hard work through your professional career with the firm.

I think that we are all clinging to a great many piano tops...

"What gives you away when you lie" would be great to ask at the start of the interview.

 

Wasn't a question I asked, but my response to an interviewee's question for our upcoming SA program:

Her: I've talked to some of your prior interns about this, but in your words, how does your firm think about mentorship and communication with interns? Me: We feel that verbal abuse is the best policy.

Thanks, let me know if you ever need an introduction in the industry.

Yes or no questions answers only.

Have you ever had sugar or PCP?

"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
 

where did you grow up isn't crossing the line or anything but it probably shouldn't be asked. i was asked the other two questions numerous times. clearly my interviewers didn't want to give an offer to a kid that a robot and does nothing besides bury themselves in books. you need to be somewhat outgoing and can actually talk to people in a non-finance manner. extracurriculars are very standard from my experience with interviews. all that stuff is on the person's resume anyway, the interviewer just wants you to elaborate on your experience to make sure you didn't just sign your name on a email list and pretend youre in the "club" or whatever it is.

 

Illegal questions include:

-Age -Nationality (including native tongue) -Marital status -Affiliations -Disability

However, there are many ways to get around these questions. Question one can get dicey if they are using it for nationality, and not because they think they went to the same highschool as you.

--There are stupid questions, so think first.
 

Maybe 1 is off limits, but then again it helps personify you more. I grew up in a different country up till 9 yrs old, some ppl can relate, so it might be a good thing to ask, as in the person is showing interest.

I thought you were going to say something along the lines of what my friend had. He was working for a privately held portfolio company of a PE fund during the summer. He an interview with a boutique IB shop for a FT and the VP there was just fishing for information, said straight up we are not looking to hire. Then goes on to ask 30 questions about the firm. What is the revenue, expenses, etc. Guy said he can't answer, no dice on any 2nd rnd or anything like that.

Funny thing was the guy got the summer job because of his dad who is an MD at the fund that owned the firm, same reason he got the interview. Week later the VP calls the father and says "we have a lot of ideas we would like to show you about xyz company." The father flipped, "you expect me to sit here and listen to you, after you insult my son. I'm never doing business with you again."

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with those, but I can see why #1 would be questionable. However, I think some interviewers would use it just to get to know you better, not to judge you. It can be part of the "Tell me about yourself" question.

 

It seems like there are so many restrictions these days you can't even have a normal ice-breaking conversation. I agree that #1 may be questionable, but it's not strictly illegal. It gives you just enough rope to hang yourself if you're not thinking clearly. (Like you could answer "Indiana" or you could be stupid and say "Gary, Indiana.") #2 and 3 are common.

If you really want ILLEGAL, one interviewer actually asked if I plan on getting married and having kids. HA.

 

He was a male interviewer who had been flirty throughout the interview. So I was a little coy and flirted back while not directly answering the question. He took it well, even called me after the interview process was over to ask me out.

 
LizzieJane:
Nah, he was married so I turned him down like I was playing hard to get. Even if he were single I don't think I would have said yes though. I wasn't really into him.

call me naive, but is being unfaithful common in this industry?

 
LizzieJane:

Thats why you got dinged honey... the correct approach would have been:

Q: Do you want to have kids? A: Only if they're 100 to 200 thousand, yours, and swimming.

You must be sexy, how bad do you need a job/internship? PM ;)

 

Underground: potentially it could, because it costs the company $3-4K to get you your work permit if you are international. That's also the reason why Wachovia and Bank of America decided they weren't going to interview international people this people even though they did last year.

But in the end, why does it matter what's legal and what's not? Even if asked an illegal question, you're gonna answer it if you want the job. Who'd say "oh wait, you can't ask me that, got ya, haha!"
