'What kind of fruit are you?' How to answer the worst job interview questions
- eesmith 3y agoA tomato.
- dudul 3y ago> What is the worst mistake you have ever made at work? This one is not horrible. I do ask most candidate to tell me about a time they made a mistake, or worked on a project that went really poorly. Not trying to humiliate them, just trying to see how they learnt from it or just how they speak about it in general.
- hyperman1 3y agoWhat is the worst mistake made in your company? Do you feel safe talking about it to random strangers that might abuse that knowledge. Do the people above you?
- baobun 3y ago"Tell me about a bad mistake..." and "What is the worst mistake..." are very different questions. The latter only has one "correct" answer unless you have internalized manipulation and misdirection as normal.
- zero-sharp 3y agoI've been asked during an interview whether I like jigsaw puzzles. I told them no because it can feel monotonous. Well, I ended up getting the job and it definitely felt like that at times. But, there were also moments where finding that metaphorical piece felt very rewarding. I still don't like jigsaw puzzles, but if finding a piece helps me solve a long standing problem, then I'm interested. Context matters.
- phendrenad2 3y agoI would simply end the interview
- kelseyfrog 3y ago"The one that produces the most value to the fruit company," is the only right answer.
