"How many golf balls would it take to fill a 747 ?"
"Why are manhole covers round?"
I get it...they want to know about your thought process and see how you handle the unexpected. None of that phases me in the least. Questions I hate....
"Tell me about a time when you....."(messed up, went out of your way to provide outstanding service, got mad, etc. etc. etc. ) They have no way of knowing if I'm truthful or the best d@mn liar ever, so what's the point?
Actually, I really dislike the entire process. Whenever I think I do well and I'm excited about the position, the company seems to go out of their way to let me know personally that I wasn't chosen. It's getting old, and unfortunately, so am I. I fear that's a big part of it in my case.
I know the answer but would be tempted to say "because the manhole is round."
One million, Seven hundred seventy one thousand, Five hundred sixty one.
