Job Interview - Strange request?

Cut off the snout of your puppy dog and attend the interview.

"My dog has got no nose!" you begin, pointing at the severed snout.

"How does it smell?" the interview asks you, aghast.

"Absolutely terrible!" you reply. "LOL! Did I get the job?"

Take some videotapes along and if any of the questions get too hard storm out explaining that you have to return them and that you're meeting Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons in twenty minutes.
 
Take a prostitute.

That will show you will do anything they ask of you as long as your paid, your goal orientated, focused, independent but also capable of working in a group and will bend over backwards to please.
 
As others have said, they'll probably ask you to "sell" the item to them or at least point out the benefits of the product.

Take something you can talk about easily, a phone or an ipod (something like that).

Don't take a picture of yourself! You're not a whore! ;)
 
Take a knife....play with it during the interview.

Seriously though there are some stupid interviews these days,I mean group interviews...roll playing,maths test etc,And some are for just basic shelf stacking jobs.

Not that i got anything against shelf stackers btw,I do it myself. :)
 
And to think some self labled business psycologist is sat in a villa somewhere laughing his t*ts off that he somehow managed to convinced HR departments all over the world that this was a useful tool in recruiting staff.

The world's gone mad, too many MDs are taking their recruitment ideas from TV shows like The Appretice and HR departments are becoming the biggest and most influence parts of any business.

I look forward to the day when these companies realise just how much money they are wasting on this American psyco-babble and ever bloated HR departments and go back to the old system where if you gave a good interview and cam across well you got the job.
 
in my experience HR departments are staffed by utter morons who seem to have no clues about the jobs they are advertising.

whatever happend to the days of people who are doing the job actually got a say in who gets hired god forbid a supervisor picks who they want to work within there team.
 
Bottle of water, and say as our bodies are made up of around 50something percent water it's a pretty good summation of me.
 
Buy some super expensive headphones with you to show off.

Make sure you wear them for the entire interview, on full volume, making sure you answer none of their questions because you can't hear them.
 
Gadget Shop, back in 2003 iirc.

The interviewer asks me to sing a song....... I was young a desperate. I sang happy birthday.... I felt like such a clown.

Still never got the job!

Well the good ones will actually sit down with the line managers and draw up a half decent job description and person spec and then invite them to join them in on the interviews - I guess you must have worked for some badly organised / managed companies?
 
For job interviews in big companies I had a HR interview which was you bog standard interview and then you had an interview with the people you'd be working with who did a more thorough interview with job specific questions...

@DAIR - If I was asked to sing I'd tell them where to go...

Edit: As for the OP I think a calculator would be a great idea as said above... It is a bit jokey, but there is lots to be said about it which can be transferred to a person etc...

I wish I were joking.

The lady asked me to sing a song... Something to do with testing my confidence. The whole ordeal makes me cringe just thinking about it.
