I have “stand up comedy” listed in the interest section in my resume. Had an interviewer recently use it as a prompt to ask me to tell them a joke. Problem is, I don’t have any quick jokes that aren’t obscenely inappropriate for an interview setting, so I ended up giving a really corny joke that isn’t very funny.
Curious if anyone has any go-to jokes for interviews in the rare event this question pops up.
