The 250 Job Interview Questions You’ll Most Likely Be Asked

We’ve all had interesting job interviews.

Web Watch recalls one where the entire interview has done over drinks in a smoky bar after hours. While the interview was a serious affair, the atmosphere detracted enough from the offered position that we ended up turning the job down. If they’re not willing to take their company and interview process seriously, why should we take their job offer seriously?

But sometimes there are some interview questions that just are a little… off. They certainly are within the realm of reason to be answered, but they may not be the types of questions that you want to deal with.

So let’s take a look at some actual JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ASKED, ever.

Build a iPhone App in Less than an Hour

Have you ever wondered how much money an app developer makes for writing and selling an app via the Apple iTunes app store for the iPhone or iPad?

Maybe not as much money as you think.

Sure, there are tons of stories about the $10,000 a day that a fart app can make for its creators. But that’s not the norm.

The Best Companies to work for? How about “Where do YOU want to work most?”

The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America

We’ve all seen those lists of the TOP COMPANIES TO WORK FOR, based on survey results that cover all sorts of topics like their work-from-home/telecommuting policies, time off, healthcare benefits, and other aspect – both tangible and not so much.

But a list of the TOP COMPANIES TO WORK FOR will only go so far – because the majority of those lists are usually family-friendly, local organizations that know how to cater towards their employees.

And there’s nothing wrong with that. If you are one of the lucky people working for one of those organizations, then good for you. You’re already there.

Just because you telecommute doesn’t mean you’re actually doing any work

Adult Footy Pajamas

Web Watch knows quite a few people who either telecommute or work from home on a regular basis.

We even have a running joke amongst our friends about those “work from home” folks’ real job is that of refilling printer cartridges. After all, if you work from home, you must not be doing any “real” work compared to those people who have to go to an office or other work location to do their job.

Apparently, you actually have to leave your house for your job to mean anything. You can’t have surgery done over the phone, can you?

Surprise! McDonald’s doesn’t use Heinz Ketchup

2 Comments on Surprise! McDonald’s doesn’t use Heinz Ketchup

Heinz Ketchup packet

Did you know that Heinz Ketchup is NOT served in McDonald’s restaurants?
(disclaimer: it’s still served at McDonald’s in Pittsburgh and Minneapolis, but try to go with the concept here, people)

We know! Who would believe that any major fast food restaurant chain would serve anything other than Heinz Ketchup?

A few year’s ago, Web Watch was out shopping and saw a bottle of Hunt’s catsup in the shopping cart. We asked about it, and we were told “Hunt’s is on sale, so we’re buying it.”

Now Web Watch has always been a Heinz Ketchup family. No other ketchup even comes close in flavor to us. We’ve tried those others, and they were just lame imitators of the true Ketchup King.

End result, we said, “we’ll pay you the extra $0.30 you’re saving on that Hunt’s catsup if that means we get to stick with Heinz Ketchup.” And it’s been Heinz ever since.

Web Watch works hard to make sure our readers are ahead of the curve on various topics. We like to be among the leaders, not a mere follower.

Which is why, when we see articles on CNN about how INTERNET FEES IRRITATE HOTEL GUESTS, we secretly smile and go about our business in bringing you the good stuff, because we know that we already brought up this very same topic about hotel internet fees almost a year ago.

The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers

With the economy and unemployment rates as they’ve been these past few years, it’s refreshing to see that there are people out in the workforce who ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR JOBS.

Either they couldn’t imagine doing anything else, or they get so much job satisfaction out of the work, the business, or the clients that they wake up every morning with a smile on their face, eager to get to that day’s next opportunity. To them, work is not drudgery — and it’s not “work” if it’s something you enjoy doing.
