Job interview.

Unexpected question was asked to many technocrats during an interview. i.e How much 2 plus 2 equals to. Only one was able to give proper answer that is, it equals to whatever YOU TELL.

Strangest job interview question ever asked must be a female interviewer in Gurgaon asking a fresh out of college candidate if he liked smelling the unwashed lady parts of older women!

Poor boy left the interview shocked and shaken!

If you believe only men indulge in 5exual harassment, then you are sadly mistaken!

There is no doubt that you would!

You are definitely from Gurgaon!

The poor boy however was from South India where such shocking behavior by a senior female employee is unheard of!

BTW, she was only asking him to smell NOT ride her unwashed lady parts!

He should have answered her "yes I would like to smell yours".

This shows what kind of Selection experts we employ and what kind of talent we employ ultimately, in India Companies. By the way, the question may be meaningful if it was manufacturing Adult Female Nappis.

In reality you won't be selected if:

1. Interviewer does not find anything in common with you like language, hometown, college
2. You don't look like tail wagging person.
3. You appear more competent than hiring manager

Rest of the questions are timepass.
Skill is somewhat valued for freshers.
For the experienced folks this is what happens.

You are right. That is reality in most of the cases. Third point contributes most.

Strange question

The strangest question I have been asked was on a very hot afternoon, with me sweating, the HR person asks 'Why arent you wearing a tie?'
