Lamest. "What was the last book you read?" Just a generic question you could get anywhere. I was ready for the question, luckily, but I wasn't able to produce an exact answer to a follow-up question (what city the main subject was in on a specific date the interviewer threw at me). So I really think he didn't believe that I had indeed read the book. I read the book for it's message and story, not as a historical fact piece. My chances were shot well before this question and we both knew it, so I didn't care. Inteviewer: Dr. McDowell at Colorado. He also told me he likes good RC and QR scores. Quite possible the only person in the world who cares about QR.
What would you do if someone came into your office in need of acute care, but couldn't afford it? Lots of answers possible. But it can reveal a lot about you and hopefully it doesn't go against what your interviewer believes. Kind of a crap question for an interview, in my opinion. There really isn't a right answer and you shouldn't really be judged if it opposes what an interview feels. But you have no control of that. Ethics questions get weird, especially if they throw out follow-up questions where you need to hold your ground and not waiver form your first response. Interviewer: Dr. Malek(zadeh) at ASDOH. She hated everyone. So it didn't matter what I said. Of course she's a periodontist.
