So, I have been interviewing around. Not sure if I REALLY want to leave ATS or not, but the other week I got super frustrated and decided to post my resume on Monster. Little did I know, that I would actually get interviews (I have 3 this week).
Anyways, interviewing is a super annoying/awkward experience. I am a great interviewer- I worked as a recruiter for 2 years, so I know how to answer about every question asked.... except one. "Sell me this pen".
I have yet to have been asked this question, ever- until yesterday. Just annoying. The "sell me this pen" question was then followed by "do you have a sense of humor?" Umm... yes, duh (ok I didn't say duh). That was followed up by "Then tell me a joke". ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Thoughts: 1) is he kidding or being serious right now? 2) Do I want to work for someone who asks these types of questions? Because this is just dumb 3) Thank God I have one good joke and one good joke only that I keep in my back pocket. So here it goes:
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Interrupting Cow.
Interrupting Cow Who? (While "Moo!!" Is being yelled-by me).
Yep. I told this joke yesterday during an interview. I have a sweet life.
do you watch modern family em? remember when manny was trying to be funny and tell one of his crushes that joke? hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh- the "sell me this pen" is the question that Jimmy at his interview for his Hallmark sales job! So funny! When he told me they asked him that I was like "OMG what did you say?" But apparently for you saavy sales people, it's no big deal :) Wishing you the best of luck with interviewing- you will do great whatever you choose to do!!
