Non-technical Interview Questions
I want to know the best, non-technical interview questions you've ever been asked.
Thanks!
- bartonfink 16y agoI've never been asked a good non-technical interview ? in an interview for a technical position, but the best non-technical ? I was ever asked was for a summer job cutting grass at a golf course. "Do you party?"
- xteemarie 16y agoFirst, that is a pretty awesome and appropriate question for said position. Second, why do you think you've never been asked a good non-technical question? Third, do you have any ideas for a non-technical question that wouldn't make you cringe?
- flignats 16y agoProbably wasn't the best, but its a funny question to be asked; I give you a glass jar, a penny, and a cork. I put the penny into the jar and seal the jar with the cork. Remove the penny from the jar without taking the cork out. I'll reply with answer if no one can get it :P
- Peroni 16y agoFermi Questions are pretty useful if you need to gain an understanding of a candidates ability to process their own thoughts in an uncomfortable situation. http://mathforum.org/workshops/sum96/interdisc/classicfermi.html http://mathforum.org/workshops/sum96/interdisc/classicfermi.... It depends on how you define 'best'. Do you mean the most humorous, most obscure or are you referring to non-tech questions that reveal a lot about your candidate?
- xteemarie 16y agoThe latter-- non-tech questions that reveal a lot about your candidate.
- zmitri 16y agoWhat are you proud of. I love that question, and now I use it now whenever I interview people. You can tell pretty quickly whether you can relate to someone depending on how they answer it. A funny question to ask, is if they know what a 418 HTTP error code is.
