At a hunting lodge he asked me if I wanted a beer? When he came back with the beer he said, “why don’t you come work with me.” That was the end of it.

This one is a home run question for a candidate…

“I want you to assume we’re down to two final candidates, and you’re one of them. However, we picked the other person for the job. Why did we do that?”

Sit back, shut up and observe. This single question will tell you volumes about the candidate.

My first job interview i was in college applying for a student job. The job was office work and a lot of it was just filing papers. At the interview, the boss asked how i was at the alphabet... I thought he was joking so i just laughed but nobody else was laughing, just looking at me, waiting for an answer. I think i said something like im good at it, and we moved on.

I'd reply, "You made a mistake. But don't beat yourself up over it, it happens."

Had a guy ask questions like "whats your biggest life achievement?" And asked what my personal hobbies were. I can't stand those type questions. Interviews are supposed to get down to business. Wth does anyone care what I do OUTSIDE OF THE JOB?

Right after I graduated college I was asked ‘where do you see yourself in 5 years?’

‘Well my fiancé is still in school working in her graduate degree so I’m hoping it works out and I’m a house husband’

Apparently even joking, that doesn’t go over well.

Was interviewing for Training Manager position for contractor. Was asked, "Do you think you can work with black people?". ONE OF THE INTERVIEWERS was black. He was sitting at the table and was the site superintendent at the site.....my future BOSS!

I said, "like him?". UNBELIEVABLE!

I attended in a hiring seminar and the instructor asked "What are the three questions you should always ask a potential employee?"

I leaned over to my buddy and said " If she is good looking: Do you suck? Do you frick? Do you do anal?"

Question asked when i was interviewed for my current job (this was 2015)

Interviewer: "How are you with computers?"

Me: "um, can you be a little more specific?"

Interviewer: "yeah, i mean are you capable of using a computer? can you send email and stuff like that?"

Me: "...yes, i know how to use a computer"

Needles to say that guy doesnt work here any more.
