JobinterviewWimb. Have you ever been asked any ridicules questions during a job interview?

[Pat Vegas]

I have been asked 'What was the last movie I watched?'

'If you were a vegetable which vegetable would you be'

That 2nd one is beyond ridicules. It's tempting to say your mum.

[Berni]

sort of inane corporate bull****.

They're susceptible to lots of other types of inane bull****, of course.

[Monty91]

How can there possibly be a good straight answer to that?

[Pat Vegas]

The movie one I was honest.
DIE HARD.

I am not going to lie and come up with some Artsy crap.
Though I was watching the Bicycle thief the other day.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I will admit that explaining your answer could be tricky.

[Pat Vegas]

The printer is too far from my desk. Which leads to less time being at my desk being successful.

It's like 'what is your biggest weakness' 'I work too hard, i don't know when to give up, I am too responsible' :yawn:

[Berni]

I would find difficult in any working environment are...'

[Monty91]

[Rich]

They also asked me how many checkouts they would need in the Clapham branch of Asda to ensure that there were never any queues.

[Berni]

And that you turn green in sunlight.

[Berni]

[Monty91]

Is there anything better in this world than a well cooked jacket potato generously sprinkled with sea salt on the skin and butter on the inside?

[Pat Vegas]

[Berni]

It has to be cooked slowly.

I like to squish them so that the fluffy innards come out. I then mix this with butter, gravy, etc and scoop it up with my fork, leaving the delicious, crispy skin to be eaten as a treat at the end.

[Rich]

people maintain any personal hygiene at all?

I had a good stab at answering the question all the same.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The skin should be enwettened with water prior to the addition of the salt, then the spud speared on a metal skewer, the better to carry hotness inside therein.

[Berni]

[Monty91]

attempt to eat there between the hours of 12 and 2 on a weekday, I will not be greeted by a ludicrous beardyman telling me there's a 4 hour wait but I'm welcome to enjoy a glass of wine in a jam jar by the bar until a table becomes available?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I suspect that the food may be a little spicy for your palate. I recommend that you eat elsewhere.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I have become convertilised.

[Berni]

I don't know what I want for dinner. The way I'm feeling I really have to resist the temptation to stuff myself with starch.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I have taken to parboiling the potatoes, cutting them into small cubes and then frying them in butter until golden brown, before mixing in the cream, wine, onions and bacon and topping with the cheese.

[Supermac1976]

[Monty91]

thus avoiding the need for a skewer, and then chuck a f**kload of sea salt all over. Once cooked, wrap 'tats in tea towel and apply a sharp karate chop to loosen up the insides. Shovel in as mucb butter as you have in the house.

[Berni]

slop you see on sale in French markets.

Where do you stand on mushrooms?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Yes, simply potatoes, onions, bacon, cream, wine and cheese.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If you dry them, how will the salt adhere?

[Berni]

here, can they?'

[Monty91]

[IUFG]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

And just leave it. Never been able to understand that.

[IUFG]

and competency based.

there are some people out there who professionally' raise tribunal claims...

once you stray from the script you generally get interviewers asking all sorts of potentially discriminatory questions, SW

[Snin]

in all my experience in france its been thick cut slices ..maybe each slice quartered but not cubes..it must be rustic and rough cut imo

[Snin]

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You're the only person I've ever known who has visited France.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Minefield.

Nothing personal but this is why I am happy to work in a small company with no HR function.

[Berni]
