What The…?

August 3, 2006 · Print This Article

I had a job interview last Tuesday and boy was I caught uprepared by her questions.

Question Number 1: If you were to spend a day with one person, living today or have lived in the past, who would it be and why?

    I answered… I would probably want to spend a day with the president of the Philippines. I have some questions and doubts in my mind regarding the way she is handling certain issues and situations in her administration. Maybe spending a day with her will help me understand her behavior and actions. She doesn’t need to explain things to me, she just need to let me be an associate. Watching her up-close will be enough since actions speak louder than words.

Question Number 2: If I am a color-impaired person, how would you describe to me your favorite color?

    I answered… My favorite color is green and since you are color-impaired, I would have to ask you to close your eyes. Now, picture yourself in a meadow surrounded by trees and beautiful flowers, the air brings with it a cool and gentle breeze. How do you feel? That is green.

My actual answers to those unanticipated queries were not as refined as my answers in this entry. Anyway I decided to post this questions hoping that you could share your thought about it. You could answer both or just choose either of the two. Come on now, give it a try! ;)

    If I were asked that questions by my job Interviewer, my very first and last answer is to tell her or him to have his/her job and shove it as deep as it could. And then I’ll ask a question in return; does it feel good? you genius of the dumb type.

Got something to say?
