What musical instrument would you most like to be and why?

 

[Moto]

Where did you get that one and what did you say?
I can't imagine a justification that isn't weird. Every instrument I pick, and explanation sounds....well...sexual 😀

 

[pseudoknot]

What is your biggest weakness?

I was at Creighton in a student interview- this was proceeded by stupid questions and also followed by it so the whole time I was spewing bull**** at this kid-
but I said piano because of the versitility- yep it was crap
with those questions you basically have to say the first thing that comes to mind then make up a stupid reason for it

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I have only had one interview, when taken out of context, would make the interviewer seem like he was from this planet. I swear, these things are horrendously stupid.

That question, however, takes the cake. I would love to see someone beat it. What did you say??

 

[dajimmers]

Trombone. Definately the trombone.

 

[sequencer]

ok- so I want to know what other stupid ones people have gotten-
mine's dumb but I'm sure there are much better ones just floating around out there

 

[Hurricane95]

If you're a guy, answer with the biggest woodwind instrument you can think of (oboe, maybe?). When asked why, just smile

"What would you do if aliens came to Earth and said men couldn't be doctors?" I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the floor when the interviewer asked that. And then I had no answer. In retrospect, I wish I said I would have joined their drunken posse and become an intergalactic pimp.
I think she changed it for me because I'm Indian and she thought I was Middle Eastern or something because apparently she asked other people "What would you do if Osama bin Laden came to the US and said men couldn't be doctors?"
Now, I'm not an expert, but I would expect bin Laden would actually keep women from being doctors, that's just my understanding of fundamentalist Muslim crusaders... they find all sorts of wacky ways to misinterpret their holy books and a favourite seems to be keeping women down.
Either way, this lady was a poo-poo head.

Correct answer here is: sex change 🙂

And that, good sir, is why you'll get into medical school before I do.

I once had an interviewer ask me what my favorite cake was and why...

(btw: I should mention that in a former life, I used to coordinate weddings and bake wedding cakes, so the question isn't so terribly insane in context) 😀

 

[unfrozencaveman]

A fellow interviewee was telling me once that she had been asked if she agreed with the interviewer on thinking that Toronto had become "too diverse".

 

[iambatman]

i'd be a bass player - i can adapt to any situation, just as the bass adapts to any kind of music

 

[ahumdinger]

What musical instrument would you most like to be and why?

I'd be a French Horn because I'm upbeat.

hardy har har.


oh come on, am I the only band geek here?

 

[jbrice1639]

yeah, i'd have to second the trombone...you can slide me in and out AND you can blow me.

 

[paceac]

I don't get it

oh come on, am I the only band geek here?

yep, you're the only one.

 

[Hoberto]

Guitar, finally in with the in crowd.

 

[ggt187]

fellow band geek here (although it's my major now, so i guess it's become more than mere geekdom now). at one of my interviews, my interviewer's son majored in music and then went on to become a physician, so he knew exactly where i was coming from. no real odd ball questions for me yet, i guess i've been lucky. although i did have a fire alarm during one of my interviews...

What musical instrument would you most like to be and why?

Snare drum...because it's the only instrument that rhymes with bare bum.

That or a sexophone... 😱 👎
