In a recent job interview, a candidate completely derailed the conversation when asked the seemingly innocuous question, "How did you get here today?"
This incident has sparked controversy as the question was open to misinterpretation.
The candidate faced a confusing moment during the job interview, where every question can be tricky. The question appeared simple but had a hidden meaning that surprised them.
It became apparent that the candidate misunderstood the question, as their response was related to their mode of transportation.
Instead of providing an answer regarding their career journey, they simply stated that they arrived by bus.
Realizing their mistake immediately, the candidate lamented that they had ruined the interview within seconds of its commencement.
One individual admitted that when asked about their background, they turned around and described they physical surroundings behind them, completely missing the point of the question.
Another candidate was also awkward when asked if they possessed a driving license and a car. Responding positively, they were then asked if their license was 'clean.'
However, after misinterpreting the question, they proudly proclaimed that they had recently washed their car, completely unaware that the interviewer was referring to points on their driving record.
Interviews like this need to be binned. I'm autistic and would've answered the same as he did. Most autistic people really struggle with this nonsense. Just say/ask what you actually mean! One user said.
To be fair, I would have said I have my own transport-meaning I don't need to rely on public transport! The second user said.
To be fair "how did you get here today?" And "please tell me about your career progression" are two very different questions and I doubt many would interpret that first one another way, the third user commented.
Recently, people have discovered a surprising discovery about Google's interview process. It turns out that a particular question about a coffee shop has left most candidates baffled.
The question posed in the interview revolves around a coffee shop located in San Francisco.
The scenario presented is that the shop has an unlimited supply and demand, and its customer line wraps around the block.
The question then asks how many cups of coffee this coffee shop can produce in a day, considering its small size of approximately 500 square feet.
Many candidates have struggled to provide a definitive answer to this question.
Some have suggested considering factors like the number of workers and the rate of coffee production per hour. Others have pondered whether the coffee supply would match the demand.
However, it has been explained that there is no clear-cut answer to this question.
In reality, the answer is the coffee shop produces zero coffee, as it requires both the shop and its staff to work together to make coffee.
