I have been noticing a peculiar trend in the interview process since 9/11/2001. Candidates are being asked weird and wacky questions. These are not parlor games; the ulterior motive is to gain clues to your personality. They are designed to see how you demonstrate courage under fire or grace under pressure. Try to answer these six sample questions:
1. If you were reborn, what animal would you like to be?
2. What would you like to see in your obituary?
3. What is your philosophy of life?
4. Which person do you admire most?
5. If you just won a $20 million lottery, what would you do with your life?
6. Is your Mom or Dad your favorite?
There are no right or wrong answers. Be careful in answering questions related to your beliefs on religion, politics, sex and money.
