Are these the weirdest interview questions ever?
Would you refuse to serve a man accompanied by his pet goose on a lead?
No, it’s not a trick question – this is one of the top craziest interview questions, as revealed by job board CV Library.
Its poll of 1,200 UK workers uncovered the following corkers:
Jake from Swansea said: "The weirdest question I’ve ever been asked was 'when a hot dog expands, in which direction does it split and why?' I was stumped."
Sean from Farnborough said: "I was asked 'how would you deal with an explosive being thrown through the window in the workplace?' I’m just hoping I’m never faced with that situation."
Siobhan from Belfast said: "The interviewer asked me 'how lucky are you and why?' I hope it wasn’t because I’m Irish!"
Natalie from Brighton said: "The weirdest thing I’ve been asked was 'if you were a Disney character which would you be and why?' I knew the answer straight away of course, but it was still very odd!"
Alex from Yorkshire said: "When applying for a summer job in a pub I was asked 'if the bar was busy and a local came in from a farm smelly from muck spreading with his pet goose on a lead would you refuse to serve him?'..."
David from Bristol said: "I was honestly lost for words when they asked me 'what would be your preferred shoe size?' I couldn’t work out what that had to do with being an accountant (or with any job for that matter!)."
Charlie from Leeds said: "To this day I don’t know what the right answer to this questions is: 'what would you serve for a breakfast for an African king?'..."
James from Doncaster said: "I was asked 'would you be prepared to break the law?' Needless to say I would not, and I quickly declined the job offer."
