    I once went for an interview at the "Big W" for a driving job.

    Them: I'd like you to sing and dance for me...showes your a team player.

    Me: What part of being a lorry driver makes you think that I want to be part of the ******* team.

    not a question but, as an introduction before we did the interview


    "So you're from Cardiff how will you travel up to manchester for a week each month ?"


    Reply: "erm, I don't do travel, the agent should have told you that, and if thats the case I shouldn't be here"

    Client: "ok, well thanks for coming along anyway, hope you haven't been too put out"

    I have no idea why but when going for a Linux admin role I started explaining how a Sidewinder missile worked.

    ...I got the job too!

    The Original book, Scouting For Boys by Robert Baden Powell covered this!

    Mate went for a job from school - chap gets a map out and says - you have put down you were a scout. He gave him a grid reference and a number of directions and distances from the start point, then said looking north west what can you see - it was a church apparently...
    If he was a Scout, then he should have know this.

    He laughted and said he liked my honesty. Wasn't until I singed up I discovered the random drug testing!

    Often when I am interviewing and they are off guard at the end I throw in "If I were to give you £100, what would you do with it ?"

    I find the responses quite revealing.
    What answers did you get then? "Buy crack"?
