Here are a few interview questions which are termed stupid by this article. Read it and you will know why. I agree to most of it.
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- If you were an animal/a can of soup/some other random object, which one would you be?
- What are your weaknesses?
- What in particular interested you about our company?
- What would your past managers say about you?
A very interesting read...

1. As far away from here as I can humanly be
2. A blog post on stupid interview questions
3. Morris dancing and the inability to fly
4. The fact that you're hiring
5. Don't let her out during the full moon.
Well, those are what I'd like to come out with but I doubt I'll ever have the guts to do it!
My sister got asked which character from Friends she would be. She's never actually watched it and said so. Then she asked how it was relevant to the job. Didn't get it. DIdn't want it after that. She was after graduate jobs, so it perhaps wasn't the most sensible course of action to scupper her own interview but an interview works both ways. The interviewer learned that she would be employing someone who doesn't suffer fools and my sister learned that she'd be employed by a cretin.
