Roll with Unconventional Questions
Companies are increasingly asking strange questions during interviews to try and throw candidates out of their comfort zone and get a real idea of their thinking and personality. So if you’re interviewing for an insurance position and the interviewer asks, “If you could be any animal, what would it be?” they’re likely less concerned with the answer than they are how you react to the question. Don’t get flustered, think of an answer and give your reasoning behind it. Don’t respond by clarifying why they’re asking the question or give a one-word answer. Interviews are as much about how you’ll fit in with a team as they are about your technical skills, so let your personality come through to show you can roll with the punches.
