Have a look at a collection of 17 ridiculous questions Google used to ask interviewees
For some people,听working at Google is a听dream job听鈥斕齜ut getting there isn鈥檛 easy.听Google听has some very interesting hiring practices meant to ensure听only the most successful candidates get in the door, including some questions that may seem out of this world, yet Google wants candidates to answer.听听has put together a collection of 17 ridiculous questions Google used to ask interviewees, and they were taken from听an extensive collection of 140 questions Google used to听听clients of Seattle job coach Lewis Lin in recent years.
Google would ask candidates to design an evacuation plan for San Francisco, explain the significance of 鈥渄ead beef,鈥� calculate how many golf balls can fit in a school bus, and听figure out how much they鈥檇 charge to wash all the windows in Seattle.
But there are even stranger tasks than that, such as explaining to an 8-year old in three sentences what a database is or why a man lost his fortune after he pushed his car to a hotel.
One interesting challenge asks candidates to figure out what happens in a village of 100 married couples where every man has cheated on his wife, and every woman instantly knows when a man other than her own husband has cheated, when the queen arrives saying that at least one husband has been unfaithful 鈥� upon finding out her husband has been unfaithful, any wife must kill the man on the spot that very day.
, but important, Google questions the company is now banned from asking potential employees, as well as solutions for them.
