Podcast Hosts: Steve Nail and Kelly Scheib

Sponsors: Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd

Standout Quotes:

"In HR school, you're taught that your interview questions need to be relevant to the job" - [Kelly]

"If you ever have to interview for a job, you should do your research because obviously there are some silly people out there" - [Kelly]

"I think it's about seeing how people think in the most creative of ways, and quite frankly, seeing how people react under pressure" - [Kelly]

Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Kelly highlights some very far-fetched interview questions, with an effort to try to find possible answers.

These job-unrelated questions may be asked to see how people think or identify those who might be a security risk.

If you ever have to interview for a job, you should do your research because many companies ask hysterical questions.

Steve notes that in some cases, it might be a result of boredom from asking the standard questions over the years, or in some cases aimed at exploring the creativity of job applicants.

It may also be aimed at observing the reaction of people under pressure.
