Ideal would be if the questions are actually job related, how many other professions do you think get these kind of stupid questions?
Since we are it, lets make Jeopardy for getting a job.
- rel_ic 3mo agoCompanies are groups of people behaving a certain way, and jobs are behaving that way. As an outsider, you don't know what the job is. If the interview is a bunch of questions you think is stupid, then the job is probably doing a bunch of stuff you think is stupid. If you want the money and prestige anyway, then learn to do the stupid stuff.
- pjmlp 3mo agoWhich is why, as mentioned, unless I am desperate for a job, I walk out. Or maybe the job is about actually carrying golf balls into planes.
- paulcole 3mo agoYou understand that this is a job interview working as intended? You may be awesome at the work but your values do not align with the company’s and it’s best if you don’t work there.
- pjmlp 3mo agoI do understand that these are stupid ways to achieve that goal.
- eklavya 3mo agoSo if somebody tried to solve the brainteaser with an impossibly high likelihood of being completely wrong. You get the signal that their values match yours, they are open minded and that they are good at writing great programs?
- anonymars 3mo agoI bet it is about solving the daily brain teaser of working with unmaintainable code!
- pjmlp 3mo agoI thought we had Fable for that now.
- paulcole 3mo agoAgain, I’m not saying that job related questions are bad. I’m saying that these types of questions can be good. You can ask more than 1 type of question!
- pjmlp 3mo agoMostly of the same basket and equally bad, on my experience, because usually it is some dude or gal, that rather be coding than doing interviews that gets dragged to question this guy that just dropped on reception for the interview.
