PROJECT MANAGER - INTERVIEW

Do you think Pharts are Phunny

Do you shake hands, hug or play bongos

If a fellow employee pukes in their cubicle
Do you…puke also
	…run away
	…gag until useless
	…get a waste basket in case they go again
	…summon the Janitor/custodian
	…ask what they had for lunch
	…measure the splatter radius
	…Quit – because that stink will always be there

When you sneeze
Do you…sneeze into your hand
	…wipe it on your pants
…restrain it and cause possible brain hemorrhage


Have you ever
	…eaten an oyster
	…in the wading pool of an Aquarium

Essay Question
	…What do you do if you find half a worm in your apple

This test is deer in the headlights for an experienced interviewer like myself. Just one question, John. Any word limit on the essay? Ha, ha. Let's see you worm your way out of this query...

It sounds like you are a veteran of these interviews. The question I like best is an acquiescence for a company to investigate you for and beyond the position, even if you are fired or quit, and into eternity and beyond death. The beyond death seems to be quite a challenge, but maybe they have friends. Nice point.

Yes I agree and I've tried posting positive poems recently. Even a nursery rhyme!

I need a little more information before I fill out the application. Like... what exactly is the project? Am I to be used as a guinea pig? IF so... WTF? If you reply and I don't, it may be that I've died of a brain hemorrhage, the project is too weird, or the interviewer is/was.

That’s as I suspected. Think I’ll pass. Lol. Love your level of out of the box thinking, John.

if the interviews focused on the jobs and the talents of those applying they would all seem very strange
