Unusual Interview Questions Tips

From the time of my career searchtill now, I never faced the unusual strange questions of the interviewer. But I heard a lot of people getting confused on hearing the unexpected and unusual questions and evenpersonality test during their jobinterview which really made their eye brows raised. I also know some people who reply instantly like “ah..sorry, but I was not expecting this” Yeah..I am talking about thequestions like “if you get invisibility power, what you will do first?” A person will be really amazed on hearing such question if he is called for a DBA vacancy interview.

The anxiety of such questions makes the candidates more worried about their cominginterview. They get confused on the thinking of being asked unusual unexpected queries. Sometimes it happens that a person goes well-prepared, fully confident and they believe they can achieve it, but they fail in the interview when they get to face almost all strange and opposite to their field questions. If you are well prepared for any unusual question, you will face less hurdles in this phase of career.

Purpose of such questions is ofcourse to check the present mindedness and mental capabilities of a candidate, not for fun. Really! May be they are trying to test how much you know about employer or what is your general information level. The interview gets good impression of candidate if he is quick responsive and comfortable to reply such questions that fulfills the purpose of this strategy.

Here you can see some unusual questions that can be expected from an interviewerwho is fond of making the interviewees shocked with their eye brow raised:

1. If you could have super power, what it could be?
2. If you get 100 million dollar, where you will spend it?
3. What you would like to title yourself?
4. How many gas stations are there in US?
5. How many stairs you stepped up and down from your way of home to office?
6. If you have only 2 months left to live, what you would long to do?
7. Who is your favorite celebrity ad why?
8. If you summarize your life in a short story, what would be its title?
9. What you would like to take with you if you are asked to go alone to a desert?
10. If you get an invisibility power, what you would act first?
11. Do you think you have committed the biggest mistake of your life with being here?

13. Explain what is dijkstra algorithm?
14. What would be the major improvements and developments you would make if you join our company?
