How to respond wisely to 10 ‘silly’ interview Questions (Part 1)

Many of us have attended interviews, looking forward to asking questions that will help you showcase the skills and knowledge you have prepared but sometimes unfortunately encounter situations where the interviewer offers “stupid”questions. In fact, there are times when interviewers deliberately put you in a difficult position. such a “trap” question is aimed at how fast your reaction will be. So let's try ViralHire.vn let's take a look at 10 ridiculous questions and how to get through it really wisely!

1. IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES BE?

When faced with this question, please grimace or show attitude. Instead, try to think about the strengths that are relevant to the job you are applying for. For example, you may wittily share that you think you have the ability to stick like Spider-Man because this ability helps you adapt and easily overcome any “wall of challenge”. Let's see this as a funny question and answer as comfortably, with as little humor as possible.  

2. IF YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT PRIVACY, ARE YOU AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FIRST LOVE?

You may feel that this question violates your personal limitations and is not very delicate, but many interviewers think it can make them realize how big your passion is for something. Therefore, never tell about tragic problems in love, you need to be professional anyway. You can turn the situation around by talking about your first love passion for the current profession. For example, you are applying for a position in a fashion company, you can answer that “I immediately fell in love with fashion as soon as I saw the image of a model in a beautiful dress in Vogue that my mother forgot on the water table. And since that childhood moment, I have always devoted my love and passion to my design career, needles and noses.”

3. DO YOU HAVE A PLAN TO GIVE BIRTH?

This question really bothers many candidates because they don't want to share too much about personal issues in life. But for employers, they are more likely to appreciate you quite highly and expect you to work long term with the company. Therefore, they need to know well if you are married or plan to have a baby, what your level of attachment to work will be. So let's just express your point honestly. If you don't have a plan yet, be frank that you haven't thought about it yet. If you do, share that you never want your children to be the penalty in the career should have had small family care options without compromising the time of his work.

4. WHAT JOB IS YOUR SPOUSE DOING?

It's a pretty private question! Employers don't really want to get into your life, but they have other realistic thoughts like whether you have the ability to balance your work and personal life; whether your family can support you when it's hard or you'll need a 2.3-fold increase in income over the next few years. Therefore, if you do not want to have to answer this question directly, you can ask the opposite question: “Do you ask me this because you are worried about how I will arrange daily travel or whether this position will likely have to change the working City in the near future?”. By asking the question, you will better understand the purpose of the employer and be able to improvise afterwards.

5. IMAGINE WHAT COLOR OF SUCCESS IS?

Many people find it unbelievable to hear this question from the interviewer but the truth is that this is one of many ways to test the ability to imagine and how a candidate deduces the problem himself. You can consult with the expert as follows: say that you think the Green success of the bill because it evokes the problem of the company's profitability, proves that the company is doing business prosperously; or if you apply to a non-profit organization, share that the color of the money is the color of the money. success is red because red represents the ability to create positive influences.
