What is the Worst Interview Question

I hate it when they ask you if you're applying/interviewing anywhere else. I'm not really sure what the correct answer is for that.

There isn't one. This is one of those where they want to see what kind of person you are:

Do you lie/adapt to please your sup,
or
Do you tell the honest truth and own up?

Generally, honesty is the best policy always.

ETA: And this...

You explain why this company is your ideal fit.

Tell me about the last time you faced a conflict with your immediate supervisor. How did you handle it, and would you change any of the steps you took?

Really...?

Give an example of customer service where you truly could not assist the person needing help, and how could you have handled that situation better?

- I gave an example of how a person called me wanting personal information, and state regulations kept me from divulging that information. I said that the person on the phone was irritated with me, and I said I could have handled it by explaining the regulation instead of just saying "I can't give that information." I made up the whole thing, but it worked. I got the job.

If you were gifted a purple elephant, what would you do with it?

Ride it. Duh.

LMAO. I was thinking the same thing -- right down to the duh....

"What would you say is your worst quality?"
My answer: "Being overly detailed and organized."

Real answer: my anti-authority attitude.

That's my answer too. My real answer: Being impatient and raging about inefficient processes in the workplace.

You want to come spend the weekend with me on the bank's yacht? (From a female client)

So, what's it like in the South? (Interview in NY)

How do you share and distribute confidential information? :huh:

"Are you a team player?"

Why yes sir. Of course I work well in a team.

Truth: Well that depends, how stupid are the other team members? Cause I am not teaching another person how to do a merge doc that gets paid more then I do.... every... single... time.... that they need to mail something out. Screw that. If they are too dumb to learn, they can't be on my team or I will just do it myself.

For reals, weirdest question I ever got.

What is your favorite movie and why?

What?! Why? What?! Ummm.... (at the time) I work in elections... who has time for movies? I mean.... scramble for an answer.

"What would you say is your worst quality?"
My answer: "Being overly detailed and organized."

Real answer: my anti-authority attitude.

That's my answer too. My real answer: Being impatient and raging about inefficient processes in the workplace.

Mine too. I legit told my boss that just hired me a month ago: "I'm organized to a fault. I keep emails too long, write everything down, etc... I keep unofficial logs of all of my phone calls because I think that kind of thing is important."

She put a star next to it haha. I'm pretty sure she thought it was BS but last week, she was like, "Holy crap, you weren't kidding about being organized, were you?"

Nope. Nope I wasn't.
