Interviewers, What's The WORST Question Someone Asked You? (r/AskReddit) #shorts

The easyestcsolution would be to say ypu changed the channel

Sweep the leg

I believe she meant physically what would you do

I feel like she wasn't testing her patience. She was testing her knowledge & giving her multiple chances to give the correct answer, which she didn't.

I think she ment like how would she stop the fight itself like how would she stop hitting eachother

After she asked the second time what would you do I would of said did you not hear what I just said. Or is that all you can say is what would you do. Like I am groot I am groot.

Yeah but what would you do

The correct answer aside, in reality what happens is that the custodian would stop texting for a couple of seconds, look at the situation, shake his head and continue texting.

No what would YOU do. Not what the paper says you should do. As someone who does interviews robots piss me the fuck off. Work place wants humans.

Why is an interviewee answering a question for interviewers?

Yeah idk what she wanted either, is that a common questioned asked? I got a simular question during my job interview for a position as a CNA

Plot twist: You were actually being interviewed by one of the patients....while the real interviewer was tied up and locked in the cupboard! 😂

"aww hell no... beat downs all around!!!" Was correct response...(I'm kidding, don't do that)

sounds like it was a test of ur patience lol that’s sneaky but smart

I'd unplug the tv and stare at them

She wanted you to switch off the television

The correct answer was 'dropkick'

He's better at telling this story yet doesn't realize that's what she wanted him to do 🤣🤣 i hate doing job interviews bc I've done the whole give a scenario and let's act like it out to see if they're qualified. 100% nobody ever does it right, every1 is too nervous and overthinking.

But why male models?

You physically separate the two first thing. They may have dementia and you can't reason with them.

Establish your dominance by taking out the biggest one among them

I've worked in the same field, that's the correct answer. Only thing I would have added is to ask interviewer what they would do so I could learn what their company policy is.

How about you take control of the situstion and seperate the two individuals?

Hmmm, how is reading a book going to stop a fight? 🤔

You didn't step in and stop the violence , there is no time for beurocratic garbage when inaction means pain.

That’s when I would have said that I would have turned the channel back to the original one.

Turn off the tv!!

As somebody who has worked in a shady ass nursing home before, what they wanted you to say is that you would call for back up and physically restrain the violent patient.

You would safeguard the patients and inform relative parties

“A patient’s family want to complain about their relative’s care. What do you do?”

Me: I listen and if I can’t help, I refer them to a senior nurse.

“What if the other nurses are busy?”

Me: I inform the family that they will need to wait to speak to someone.

“What if they can’t wait and want something done now?”

Me: I show them the relevant Avenue to file a complaint if all else fails.

scoff eye-roll murmurs occur between them
“Thank you, do you have any questions for us?”

Bruh what were they looking for?

I got an interview for a job as an equality officer at a prison, they were really impressed with my application. But I messed up the interview because they asked me what “systems” I would use to check that inmates felt they were being treated fairly and whether they had any complaints. I started talking about research methods and software to collect and analyse data. It turns out that they literally just wanted me to say asking them in person. I feel like that was an unfair trick question because they confused me with the word “systems” and talking to them face to face is just far too obvious and goes without saying

you should’ve changed the tv channel back

Its those questions that makes me think, they weren't going to choose you anyway

Im a cna and have worked in a nursing home setting. That is exactly how I would have answered that question do I have no clue what the interver was getting at

You answered the question twice

You never know who's going to be the one you need to be extra patient with.

Turn the television off.

She has a specific answer and confused when you answer another

I've had people do shit like this to me too its probably one of the most confusing times in a persons life lol

I thought it was an excellent answer.

?

"How did your complexion change from dark to fair when compared to your ID vs you in real life". Now I am not claiming I am exceptionally pretty and every woman is jealous of me, this is the only time I feel I was rejected due to looks. Now I also understand that one might ask for identity purposes, but consider, in my country there's a bais for fair skin. My ID picture was slightly decolorised because it was printed and scanned and printed and scanned many times but still pretty easily recognisable (you know how they mess up with the colour a little). Now my interviewer was on the darker side, wearing a foundation that obviously wasn't her shade, not that it matters to me, but she sounded so salty asking me how did I go 2 shaded lighter than she expected, which i think was super unnecessary and unprofessional... Then proceeded to ask questions, which I was super prepared for because those were repeated questions for that company, but she somehow denied accepting that I was remotely right for any of the questions. It wasn't a hard company to crack, i cracked harder companies following, and this was the company I had the strongest preparation for, didn't miss a question and still got rejected. That was one of my earlier interviews, and I was highly demotivated not because of the rejection but the way she talked to me, but good for me, right after that interview I got selected for a wayy better company. I just feel she was racist, truly believed colour mattered when it comes to looks...and the fact that she had to take in consideration my complexion to make herself feel a certain way about herself, and when it didn't work as expected she really tried her best to put me down is disgusting. And I promise i usually never assume stuff like these, but this pretty obviously let off that vibe.

he didn’t rlly answer the question. just saying “id intervene” isn’t answering h o w you’d stop the patient from doing that in that moment.

But...would you change the channel or not?

What would YOU do??

Perhaps take the remote away from them and a pick a random channel?

Was a manager at dominos for a while… we had a guy apply as a delivery driver, comes in and interviews… super nice guy. Right before leaving tells us he doesn’t have a car 😐

When asked a second time what she would do she should have responded, "I just said what I would do, so I don't understand why you are repeating your question."

is it like test their patience with a dementia patient or did i interpret it wrong?

I get she was testing his patience, but that's not the best way to do it. You don't expect for your interviewer to not understand what you're saying, but you do expect a senior to have trouble understanding you because of their old age. Unlike the patients, the interviewer is SUPPOSED to understand what you're saying, and try their best to listen.

I'm not a very patient person, I'll admit, but when I see someone who has a genuine reason for not understanding me to that degree I know how to stay calm.
