Top 10 most bizarre interview questions heard by candidates

What’s the weirdest question you’ve ever asked a candidate? We bet it can’t beat ‘Where do you see Arnold Schwarzenegger in five years’ time?’…

This is just one of the 10 most unusual interview questions to come out of a survey of 2,000 working adults in the UK, conducted by recruitment giant Adecco.

Other questions featured in the list include:

  • Can you sing the theme tune to Captain Pugwash?
  • Have you ever seen an invisible man?
  • How do you build a tower out of spaghetti?
  • How many elephants can you fit in your car?
  • How would you climb out of a giant bucket?
  • How would you respond to a random person asking to lick your armpit?
  • What side of the bed do you sleep on?
  • Why are manhole covers round?
  • Who is more important – Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy?

Please let us know below if you have heard anything in interviews you’ve been to that can equal or beat these questions!
