Anyway, this interviewer was a morose man with no social skills. He asked us all to answer all questions as if we were in a play.

"Think of being in a play. First give the title of the play, then give the marketing tagline of the play, and then a brief summary of the play."

"Now, what is the most innovative thing you've done in this job?"

"What was your biggest success in managing the department?"

"What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?"


WLF! How the hell does thinking about a play help them evaluate talent? It's in line with shakin's dinosaur question but this guy was serious and he asked all the executives the same questions.

Thou art biggest challenge was in thy taking of this interview!
