世界500強最古怪最刁鑽面試問題盤點
With about five candidates for every job opening these days, some responsible for hiring decisions have resorted to desperate measures in their efforts to narrow the field. Researchers at career site culled through tens of thousands of queries reported by job seekers who had done their best to come up with answers on the spot, and selected the oddest interview questions of the past 15 months.
由於目前美國每個空缺職位平均有約5名候選人,一些負責做出招聘決定的人員開始採用極端招數來縮小候選人範圍。招聘網站的研究人員梳理了上萬個由求職者提供的、曾在面試過程中絞盡腦汁試圖回答的問題,從中選出過去15個月最古怪的面試問題。
Luckily for beleaguered candidates, the interviewers seemed in most cases to be more interested in how people responded -- that is, in hearing their thought process, and seeing how well they kept their cool -- than in receiving a "correct" response.
