I didn?t interview anywhere yet. I got those questions from the National Naval Medical center Newspaper this morning, and thought that it could be useful for this forum...

1. "Why are you wasting my time?" This was a true question that the interviewer snapped at me at U of A. Apparently the inteviewer had a remarkably bad week (lost his wife two days prior) and it was thrown from the application interview.

2. "Would you date a pharmacist? A tech? Would it matter whether you were a pharmacist or tech?" Eerie question during a job interview with WAG (The pharm. sup. at the time was a hot chick too).

3. "Who would you go out to dinner with if you could choose 3 historical figures?" My school asks this wierd question.

4. "Name a situation in which you (insert blank here) and how did you handle it?" School, job interview, etc.

5. "Do you believe in magic?" I personally ask this to interviewees as my old "shock-response" question. I've got a couple of good one for this year's crop, heh heh heh.
