Yesterday I had a job interview with a company well known for its office products.

At first I was asked the usual questions like experience, my last employer and such. Typical questions.

Then about 10 minutes or so in the interview they started asking other questions.

Such "important" questions like what kind of beer do I drink. Do I smoke cigarettes? Which bars do I hang out at? Do I have many friends? Did I vote in the last election? Well to do give them credit they did NOT ask me who I voted for. Actually I am surprised they didnt ask me that question.

After several minutes of this stuff, I actually walked out. I can only imagine what these people are like to work for if they are more concerned about what kind of beer do I drink than if I can do the job.

This ranks up there in among one of the worst job interviews I ever had.

The worst one? The manager who was interviewing me all of a sudden asked me to take a look outside the window. I did and saw a woman getting out of a car. He looks at me and says "…my I wouldn’t mind cheating on my wife with that hot honey…oh baby !!!".

Where did this interview take place at? At a Religious radio station.

Any of you had a job interview where the unexpected was asked? Happened?

Those questions are pretty crazy, I’ll grant you but at least they were questions. I’ve had several interviews where the interviewer spends the entire time telling me about the company. Of course good questions are harder to think of than it is to spout facts about the company. I always feel like breaking in and saying, "ok, you’ve convinced me, I’ll take the job!"
