Think I heard the worst answer to a job interview question this morning

That's where it got weird...one of the interviewers asked "into how many orifices should our guests be shoveling the breadsticks?

I think one of the best bullshit questions I got was "How would you rate your intelligence on a scale of 1-10?"

WTF? So If I try and be humble and give myself a lower rating how does that look? Or I rate it high that makes me seem arrogant.

Arrogance is an underrated quality. I actually told an interviewer once that I hadn't failed at anything yet and that I didn't think that this job won't break the string.

I can tolerate annoying female coworkers provided they bring something to the table

No. I basically told them that learned how to deal with people from a boss I had that always respected everyone, and people wanted to make him look good. I wouldn't say I was trained, as much I just learned from observing how people were motivated by the way he treated them. I wasnt in training, but learned through watching, and it has served me well over the years.


So yeah, bullshit, like everything else.

Dude interviewing for a foreman job at a different location. The company likes to pull a couple guys in leadership positions from the area to sit in on those interviews and tell the candidate what goes with that position and ask a few questions that HR provides us with.

This morning I was picked. 7:30 AM interview.

Candidate been with the company for 10 years.

HNIC at the location the job is for asks “What would you consider to be your most valuable asset as a foreman?”

The only answer anyone is looking for is something that means “the employees/workers/people”

This guy says “well, I guess the pit loader is the most expensive, but you can’t sell any product without a shipping loader”

The three of us sitting in on the interview all gave each a look that we all knew this guy probably wouldn’t be getting a follow interview with the area manager and big wigs.

I mean, if you’re going for most expensive, it’s the primary crusher. If you’re going for most essential to the operation, you’re not gonna have any rock on the ground to sell without the pit loader, haul trucks, crushers screens or conveyors. Dude was wrong on all counts

I have no way of knowing if he eliminated himself, but I’d say he’s gonna be stuck at his current position for a while
