The average job interview is usually an incredibly stressful occasion at the best of times, as you battle it out with other candidates all vying for the same position. But in leaner economic times when more applicants are going for fewer jobs, companies are making candidates sweat even more by asking increasingly bizarre questions during the interview process.
又到一年毕业时,工作岗位再一次面临“僧多粥少”的局面,而毕业生找工作免不了要接受应聘公司的轮番面试。不管学生在网上“百度”后查到的面试考题有多少,也不管同学们怎么样“处心积虑”地准备面试答案,还是要坚信“山外还有一山高”这个道理,如今的面试考官绝对不会让同学们那么轻易过关。所以,各种标新立异、花样翻新的面试考题也就“冒”了出来。
Massive global corporations like Facebook, Google and Citigroup are just some of the firms responsible, asking about anything from table tennis strategies to Russian roulette and Subway sandwiches. Some other posers put to interviewees include, Estimate how many planes there are in the sky, and How many cocktail umbrellas are there in a given times in the United States The list of the top 20 most bizarre interview questions was compiled by Glassdoor.com to provide anaonymous shared information on interview tips.
最出名的社交网“脸谱网”以及“花旗集团”的考官们的考题已经让同学们“摸不着边际”了,比如:乒乓球战略、俄罗斯轮盘甚至地铁三明治等等。甚至考题竟然问到:天空中到底有多少架飞机?或者:全美的鸡尾酒里面配有多少把小花雨伞呢?这些考题不仅仅在网上找不到答案,也能让考生发挥自己的想象力,避免了“统一化”的雷同卷的出现。以下是20道全球500强公司的面试考题,或许会让你笑掉大牙呢!
