青島希尼爾翻譯公司（www.ayavill.com）2016年3月114日整理了世界500強(qiáng)最古怪最刁鉆面試問(wèn)題盤(pán)點(diǎn)，內(nèi)容如下：

With about five candidates for every job opening these days, some responsible for hiring decisions have resorted to desperate measures in their efforts to narrow the field. Researchers at career site Glassdoor.com culled through tens of thousands of queries reported by job seekers who had done their best to come up with answers on the spot, and selected the oddest interview questions of the past 15 months.
　　由于目前美國(guó)每個(gè)空缺職位平均有約5名候選人，一些負(fù)責(zé)做出招聘決定的人員開(kāi)始采用極端招數(shù)來(lái)縮小候選人范圍。招聘網(wǎng)站Glassdoor.com的研究人員梳理了上萬(wàn)個(gè)由求職者提供的、曾在面試過(guò)程中絞盡腦汁試圖回答的問(wèn)題，從中選出過(guò)去15個(gè)月最古怪的面試問(wèn)題。
　　
　　Luckily for beleaguered candidates, the interviewers seemed in most cases to be more interested in how people responded -- that is, in hearing their thought process, and seeing how well they kept their cool -- than in receiving a "correct" response. A sampling of Glassdoor's list, and where the question was asked:
　　對(duì)于倍感困擾的求職者，幸運(yùn)的一點(diǎn)是多數(shù)情況下面試官更感興趣的是求職者如何應(yīng)對(duì)——即聽(tīng)到他們的思考過(guò)程，以及他們是否能保持冷靜——而不是求職者能否給出“正確的”答案。下面是Glassdoor整理的一些古怪的面試問(wèn)題以及提問(wèn)的公司：
