Interviews are petrifying at the best of times, as you sit trembling on your seat wondering if you\u2019ll get into the university of your dreams, that 35 grand grad job, or even that retail job that will pay for your trip to Majorca for the summer, so it doesn\u2019t help when you get asked a question that just really throws you for a loop. And for celebrities, an interview can even be career-destroying, or career- making! Either way, there are some hilarious\/awkward\/questionable interview situations knocking about so here is our list of real-life interview questions that will make you go ???<\/p>\n
A prospective employee for the American grocery chain Trader Joe\u2019s was once famously asked, \u2018What would you do if you found a penguin in the freezer?\u2019 Check if it still had a heartbeat? Eat it maybe? This unlikely circumstance was obviously something Trader Joe\u2019s wanted to consider as a future possibility for whatever reason! This is definitely one of the strangest interview questions.<\/p>\n
A candidate was asked for a managerial position at Aston Consulting, \u2018How do you make a tuna sandwich?\u2019 If that\u2019s the crucial skill for a managerial role my 5-year-old niece is probably suited for the job too.<\/p>\n
You might remember the notorious interview by Good Morning Sacramento in which the interviewers questioned Cara Delevigne on her film \u2018Paper Towns\u2019, first by getting her name wrong, and then by insulting her by asking if she was \u2018just tired\u2019 and if she had even read the book the film was based on, before suggesting she should get a Red Bull. Ouch.<\/p>\n
A candidate at Jiffy Software was asked if they had ever stolen a pen at work. Talk about a moral dilemma. If stealing a pen really stealing? What if you replaced it with another pen? So many questions!<\/p>\n
Imperial University in London once asked one of its students how many marbles they could fit into the room for a position with a Pro Bono consulting group. You\u2019d probably lose your ow marbles trying to work out something like that.<\/p>\n
In 2015, Jerry Penacoli asked Scarlett Johansson whether she was able to wear undergarments under her Black Widow costume. Since when was it acceptable to ask about someone\u2019s underwear for an interview, unless the particular interview is about lingerie? It\u2019s safe to say Johansson was not amused.<\/p>\n
A major point of celeb interviews is to get all the hot goss but asking whether your feet smell, as an interview asked Ariana Grande in 2014, is really not that interesting. Either way, Grande denied is, so I guess her feet are squeaky clean at all times.<\/p>\n
A few years ago there were rumours flying about that Lady Gaga was actually a man, but one journalist had the audacity to ask the singer if she in fact had a penis. Lady Gaga responded with sass that her \u2018beautiful vagina\u2019 was offended.<\/p>\n
Google seems like a pretty quirky place to work, and their interview questions support that supposition. The company once asked a candidate how many cows there are in Canada, so if sheep don\u2019t work for you, try counting cows at bedtime and you might just get a job at a massive conglomerate.<\/p>\n
A successful candidate at consulting firm PwC was asked how many people they thought passed through King\u2019s Cross station every morning. So that\u2019s the number of platforms, multiplied by the number of trains, multiplied by the number of Harry Potter films, divided by how many times England has lost the World Cup\u2026 \u2639<\/p>\n
On the topic of her relationship with then 17-year-old Harry Styles, Leigh Francis a.k.a Keith Lemon asked Caroline Flack about Harry, \u2018Why you were having sex with him, did he just giggle at your boobs?\u2019 Very mature. And a little bit funny.<\/p>\n
Cardi B is a character that constantly makes me go ??? She\u2019s done many an interview and it\u2019s not the questions themselves but the responses that are the funny ones. Simple questions like Jimmy Fallon asking her if she\u2019s from the Bronx, or Ellen just asking if she goes by Cardi B warrant hilarious expressions and sounds from the rapper. You\u2019ll know what I mean if you\u2019ve seen the interviews.<\/p>\n
A jab at some of these questions might prepare you for the most important interview of your life! So, how many cows are<\/em> there in Canada??<\/p>\n Interviews are petrifying at the best of times, as you sit trembling on your seat wondering if you\u2019ll get into the university of your dreams, that 35 grand grad job, or even that retail job that will pay for your trip to Majorca for the summer, so it doesn\u2019t help when you get asked a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24513,"featured_media":133538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":true},"categories":[8479,1803],"tags":[23,15145,10882,11166],"thb-sponsors":[],"class_list":["post-133523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-young-professionals","tag-entertainment","tag-interview-questions","tag-job-hunting","tag-young-professionals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat are some of the most random interview questions you have been asked?
