Job interview questions

Nope, but I've had equally daft questions. At my last interview I was asked what type of animal I would be if I could be anything. Questions like that annoy me,as firstly I fail to see how it's in anyway relevant to whether I can do the job or not, and secondly my subconscience instantly begins mocking the rather farcical situation by feeding me utterly daft answers whilst I'm trying to give a serious response. In that particular instance my mind was suddenly flashing up "A PANDA 'COS IT EATS, SHOOTS AND LEAVES LOL" in bright lights with fireworks erupting and the 1812 Overture blasting away as I struggled to suppress the urge to laugh. I eventually said something along the lines of "Some sort of ape I suppose as I find my opposable thumbs to be quite handy.".....

And no, I really didn't intend the pun either. After realising what I'd said and grimacing inside, my head then flooded with a torrent of masturbation jokes and I was back to struggling with the urge to laugh.

:D Awesome

I can imagine being faced with the same urge to bite back either sarcastic responses or childish laughter as my mind works its way through a long list of things not to say. Thankfully I've never had anything like that, it would be difficult for me to take any interviewer seriously where questions of that nature were asked.
 
They will ask you what the company's really about. I made this horrible mistake on my first ever job interview where I was stumped as to what the company actually did, and who they supplied to. (It was some mechanical parts manufacturing factory) Make double sure that it looks like you've done some research on the company, what they do, who they supply and all that sort of thing.
