Hi there!

I hope you’re doing great. Recently I’ve got a lot of job interviews and been asked plenty different weird questions. I always try to find a positive outcome and now … I’m sharing the weirdest questions 😂:

-Why did you apply in this position?
(because I need … a job and money?)

-What do you know about our company?
(Your landing page says nothing. You are not Apple or Facebook, does everybody know all small startups around?)

-How do you see yourself in 5 years?
(hope to be alive and happy, wrong answer?)

-How would you design a vending-machine?
(Oh no, again?)

And the absolute 🏆Winner:
-I didn’t make any job interview before. What should I ask you?
(Dude, don’t ask me anything, just give me an offer)

I hope you enjoyed that! If you had any similar experience, hit reply and share it with me. Later on, I will present a longer list. 👍
