I have been to my fair share of interviews. From those absolutely intimdating to those utterly pointless and boring. And of course, there are those interviews that are totally stupid. Personally I find questions like "Tell me 3 characteristics you look out for in the companies that you apply for", or "Give an occasion whereby you exhibited analytical skills" a waste of my time. Tell me... what can you assess about me from these? There was another case of an idiot asking me first about what product I have done that I find most challenging and after a few questions, ask me about my most challenging task. Frankly... what's the difference between the 2 questions. It shows very little thought process and probably just plucking out a few questions from 'Interview Questions 101". And there are those interviewers who act haughty and intelligent just because they happen to sit on the other side of the table. In case you didn't notice, we the interviewees... do have a brain and can smell your ignorance from those dumb questions.
Last and not least... for pete's sake, we spend time and effort to dress up, take leave and travel all the way down for an interview. Stupid interviewers, please do your homework and think about what you are trying to achieve. Agony....
