Strange interview

The day of the interview is not an ordinary day. It is a significant challenge for everyone, because you have to be able to be someone who will be different from many candidates and will be remembered by the company in such a way that they will choose you.

Preparing yourself psychologically for the interview is essential. When you enter the room, convince yourself that you can do it.

An interview is a two-way process.

For the employer, this is not only an opportunity to assess whether the candidate is suitable for the role, but also to determine whether the company and the position match their career goals and values.

Often, companies try to organize unusual interviews that are unconventional and test applicants in practice. This is often a justified method, because if you have 100 CVs to look at, 60 of these 100 will definitely be filtered out soon, leaving only those who are suitable for this or that position.

Have you heard of small tests arranged during interviews?

Companies try to gauge candidates’ values, traits, and actions by creating artificial moments.

Heineken conducted a sophisticated surprise test during the interview process, where candidates were confronted with unexpected events—interview interruptions or fire alarms—to test their reactions to stressful situations.

Nokia conducted the Queen of Silence, where HR sat silently for 25 seconds to see how candidates handled awkward moments and whether they could remain calm.

Ossur asked applicants a direct, quick question upon entering the interview, “Have you ever lied in an interview?” to see if they could admit their mistakes.

India’s largest company, Tata Group, forces candidates to fill out very long application forms to see if they have the willpower to complete them or how they would answer at the end - whether they would be lazy or responsible in completing the test.

“Loreal” - uses a dinner test, inviting candidates to engage in discussions during this time and checking their manners and conversational skills.

“DBS Bank” where they bang spoons on sums to test how much they can concentrate on the task at hand.

“Google” - asks candidates what 5 things they would bring to a deserted island, thereby testing their creativity and problem-solving skills or what they prefer in a difficult situation.

These companies use unusual interview methods to learn more about a candidate’s character beyond their resumes. They want to see how people react to real-life challenges, to test their creativity, honesty, and ability to work under pressure.

These are the essential conditions that every employee needs in the work process.
