Seriously, today I was asked to “explain peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to an extraterrestrial.”
What are some strange questions you’ve run across in interviews?

Hm
 I think they try to add some unusual ones, because people have been training for lots of normal questions.

Reminded me of this. My son took this class. Go to minute 13:20

I had no issues answering. I talked about it for maybe ten minutes. They either think I’m really detail oriented or prone to complicating simple concepts. I gave in depth discussions of the components, possible issues with comprehension, and the basic algorithm for creating a pbj along with general perceptions and clarifications of where it was popular. I didn’t realize I knew so much about it! Ha!

I HATE peanut butter, including the smell (I'm gagging thinking about it), so that would be a terrible question to have to answer!

For my first interview EVER, I got asked "If you could be an animal, what would you choose and why?"
WHAT??? Who asks that for a part-time, seasonal, retail job??

"I would be an employed animal because I need a job."
