9 UNEXPECTED Job Interview QUESTIONS | How to land your Dream Job

The 9 unexpected job interview questions learn how to find your dream job, that dream career, government jobs etc. Whatever the job vacancy and new career you want. Watch this video so when applying for job vacancies you are fully prepared to know what questions the interviewer will throw at you so you can come straight back at them with impressive answers that will turn the odds in your favour.

The nine questions are:

► 1. Do you prefer cats or dogs?

They are trying to find out what is kind of character are you? Some people believe that there are certain personality traits attached to people who prefer dog’s verses those who prefer cats. Your answer should be based on the traits that apply to the job you are applying for. This a really good question to show an employer that you’re aware of your own personality traits and skills.

► 2. How many balloons would fit in this room?

They ask this one to find out how good are you at solving problems? There’s no way of knowing how many balloons would fit in the room, but what the employer is interested in is how you approach this question.

► 3. If you could be any superhero, which one would you be?

Here they want to know how well you will fit in with the team? This question is designed to be humorous, so think of a witty answer and try to relate it to the role you’re going for. The interviewer wants to find out a bit more about your personality as well as your ability to think on your feet, both quickly and creatively.

► 4. Before going on holiday, when do you look to pack your case?

Basicaly how organised are you? Are you someone that likes to plan ahead or do you prefer to leave it to the very last minute? Be honest and justify your approach. If you like to do your packing last minute, why is that? Is it because you organise your belongings meaning that packing doesn’t need to happen until the day before? Or do you like to make sure that you don’t pack things that you’ll need on a day to day basis?

► 5. How would you react if you were transformed into a fish?

They are trying to find out if you can you think on your feet? This question is designed to show how you deal with unexpected interview questions and situations. It’ll test how quickly and calmly you react. Would you want to turn back into a human as soon as possible?

► 6. If you were an ice cream, what flavour would you be?

Again this one is to try and understand what kind of personality you have. These types of ‘what kind of flavour/tree/book would you be’ questions can be difficult to answer and again, the answer is designed to give the interviewer a bit more of an insight into your personality.

► 7. Name five uses for a stapler without staples

This one is to test how creative are you and if you can you think outside of the box. Try to think of an answer that the interviewer may not have heard before, it’ll help you stand out from the other candidates. Whether you chose to use the stapler as a hammer, a paper weight, or even some office-based castanets, this question is all about how innovative you can be.

► 8. How would you describe making an omelette to someone who has never made one before?

Now they are looking at how good your communication skills are. Employers want to know how well you can communicate and summarise simple tasks, especially to someone who may be unfamiliar with the subject. Try to explain your answer in an unexpected/interesting, simple and useful way.

► 9. If aliens landed and said you could have any job on their planet, what would you choose?

What are your long term professional career goals is what they are really asking. When answering focus on the job you could imagine yourself performing, it doesn’t have to be what you’re doing now. Be ambitious. An interviewer wants to see someone with drive and ambition.

Thank you for watching this video hopefully it helps anyone looking for Dream Job Vacancies?

I usually just recite Spud's interview dialogue from Trainspotting.  60% of the time, it works every time!

"My pleasure... in other people's leisure."
