Job Interview - Strange request?

peterattheboro · 21 May 2012 at 10:32

"Please bring along an item that you feel sums you up"

Is this a common thing?

And by the sounds of it, it may be a group interview?

I hate group interviews

Bring a can of carlsberg.

take anything. It's not what you take its what you say about it that will matter.

You could take a fresh turd and still say something good about it.

Did one group interview, hated it. Don't see the point in it at all.

It was for McDonalds when I was desperate for work, I was the only one to turn up in a suit...

Bear in mind I've just moved to London and all I have are my clothes, phone and PC

agnes · 21 May 2012 at 10:37

Take your PC then haha.

A calculator.

Although depends on how literal they meant it.

Rock up with your PC, I'm sure the strange looks will follow quite quickly

Did you get it?

Just casually sit there with a fireaxe.

Seriously though, have never heard of this kind of request before.

What is it for? That will determine what you bring.

Take a blank note book.

"This signifies that I am my own maker, the creator of my own destiny and capable of writing my own future in the blank book of my life"
