The style of questions given in job interviews at Google, Apple etc...(and personal experience)
There are all kinds of strange things that ask young students who just graduated University or college when they want to get hired to work. There is a feeling that God is in front of you and asks you questions on a job interview.
It's just work, but we need work,
Especially with all the rumors that it's so hard to find a job after a degree if you have no experience or have not studied at a very good institution of higher learning.
One of the most interesting things Google has discovered in research is who are the best and most productive workers in their company.
Those who are willing to take risks.
I brought here some interesting questions asked in job interviews in the big companies.
2."If we had removed all the ads from YouTube, how would you suggest that we make money through it?" (hmmm maybe ICO of digital currency lol)
3.If a coin is thrown a thousand times and falls on a tree 560 times, would you say the coin is biased?
4.The diameter of a drop of rain is 1 cm, the width of the pavement is 1 meter - how will we know when the sidewalk is completely wet?
5.Do you prefer to earn or learn?
6.If you were now getting $ 10 million, what would you do?
I chose these questions because they seemed a bit strange to me.
Why should a big company choose such questions?
I think these questions come to do one major thing.
(Of course there are other questions about knowledge)
Know what your true intentions are.
what do you think?
My favorite job interview question right now is:
What's the one thing that you believe to be true, but nobody else agrees with you?
I find this question fascinating because:
Identifies innovators. Most innovators have contrarian view points.
Demonstrates courage. It can be embarrassing to state a contrarian and potentially far-fetched point of view with a stranger, the interviewer. To do so demonstrates the candidates comfort with him or herself.
Exemplifies persuasion. It's not enough for one to say they believe that the sky is purple. To claim that belief requires evidence, facts and logic.
great and cute questions)
I have one more example - a man wants to get a job, and his boss wants to test his brains and creativity and he give him an example
You have a car. You are on the road. There are 3 persons there: an old lady, a young and sexy lady and your friend.
They all have heavy bags and and they ask you to help them.
Whom will you choose?
That man was the only 1 who gets the job because he replies: I will give my car to my friend, and he will help an old lady and then he will ride home by himself, and I will have a walk with young lady and will bring her bags.
Great post @amiramnoam. I think as the person gains experience, he enjoys such kind of interview questions.
Thanks for sharing!
I would love to hear a question:
Are you ready to die?
If we're ready to die, then we're willing to take risks to serve the employer/company.
It also applies in our daily lives.
We gotta be fearless and no death can stop us when we're on the truth side.
The bold and brave people are the ones changing the world.
nice post on job and interview that is asked for the candidate confident n knowledge 😊
good job boss
excellent..Great story and good writing.i like your post and upvoted.
Thank you #Boss @amiramnoam for an awesome post, this is really great post on job and interview. We want more post like this, keep posting again and again. Thank you #Boss.
This is a really helpful post for college graduates looking for tech jobs.
The questions here seemed to be geared more toward applied reasoning and practical values than just knowledge.
The first question could probably be solved if I had been using calculus on a regular basis.
The second question seems theoretical but it is totally plausible and serious question given the drop in facebook stock due to ads. I'm even getting adds on fb messenger. So this is a question of applied reasoning. I like the way you also gave an answer for this one.
The third question also shows how we think and solve a simple problem demanding a creative and analytical answer in a short amount of time.
The fourth question is a value and motivation question and a trick question. It is really a trap. If you say LEARN then how would you like to learn without pay?
The fifth question both applied reasoning and value question. Some of these companies have a direction they are going. If you just calculate the most reasonable way to make a profit you will not get the job. You need to think like them and want what they want.
That's just what I think.
Thanks for asking.
