Now There Will Be An End To The Silly Questions In A Job Interview
Google admits that the much talked about interview their questions were completely useless for finding good job candidates.
Now you can stop calculating the number of times the clock hands overlap during a day. As Career Start previously written, Google is known for using unconventional and strange questions in job interviews their. This will however be a stop on.
Google's senior vice president of staffing, Laszlo Bock, has now admitted that the goofy questions proved to be a poor indicator of who would be a good employee.

Bock explains that Google now uses more traditional methods of interviewing potential employees. He believes it will cause the candidates will be evaluated on a more equitable basis. They now want to focus on proven methods, such as asking candidates to describe how solved a difficult problem in their last job.
Some examples of questions they have used before:
- Why are manhole covers round?
- How many piano tuners are there in the world?
- You are shrunk to the size of a coin and gets thrown in a blender. The leaves begin to spin about 60 seconds. What are you doing?
- How much you would have had to pay to wash all the windows in Seattle?
- By only using a four-minute hourglass and a seven-minute hourglass, how would you measured exactly nine minutes, without spending more than nine minutes on the task?
- How would you put an evacuation plan for San Francisco?
- What is the next number in this pattern? 10, 9, 60, 90, 70, 66.
- A man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune. What happened?
- How many times a day overlaps the hands on a clock?
