	gmoran		Why Do Interviewers Use Brainteaser Questions?	0	Dec 11 2007, 4:03 PM EST by gmoran
			Thread started: Dec 11 2007, 4:03 PM EST Watch Since we are talking about good and bad interview questions, here is a link to an article on MSN/CareerBuilder in which I was quoted dealing with the use of brainteaser or logic questions in an interview. My blog (http://gregmoran.wordpress.com/) has a link to all of my interview notes and a pretty detailed discussion of the how and why behind brainteaser interviews. Here is the link to the article http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/msn/careeradvice/ViewArticle.aspx?articleid=1238&catid=IV 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

	gmoran		Some new questions ...	0	Dec 7 2007, 2:21 PM EST by gmoran
			Thread started: Dec 7 2007, 2:21 PM EST Watch Thanks for your contributions so far. Here are a couple new ones in the "worst" category and keep the interview questions coming! -"What type of vehicle do you drive?" - From a manager who believes he can ascertain meaningful personality traits from the type of car you cart around in. - "Can I see your hands?' - from a business owner and part-time palmist who thought he could determine my fit in his company by the landscape of my palms. - "I once asked a candidate why they were relocating to the Jacksonville area the answer was 'I have some trouble i got into in Tampa. I am trying to get away from it. Will this be a problem in the hiring process" - "Being that we are prone to Hurricanes on the Florida coast I also had a candidate from Michigan ask me if there were 'round shaped houses available in the area should he relocate.' He then proceeded to explain wind drag and the differences between a round home and a traditional home. - "I also had a candidate ask me if anybody else was interviewing for a position in accounting. She claimed that she was not competitive and would not be interested if she wasn't the only one interviewing." Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: article hiring interview screening Post reply
