WHAT in the world????!
I enjoy hearing all the weird interview ?'s that pop up here because then I prep for them, BUT nothing prepped me for this. The interviewer turns to me towards the end and says, OK so now I want you to teach me something in the next five minutes. I froze. The first thought in my head was oh crap!! My next thought was what in the hell am I going to teach this man?? Talk about pressure. I asked him if he knew how to whistle and he said no. It was literally the ONLY thing that came to my mind and I know a lot of people who can't whistle. So I proceeded to walk him through step by step instructions of how to whistle. I felt like such an idiot puckering my lips and watching him do the same. It took him about fifteen minutes, but he got it : ) I am waiting to hear back. I wonder if I should have taught him something else, maybe something easier. What could I teach next time? ...if there is a next time.
I think you did GREAT! What about teaching someone how to eat with chop sticks or at least pick things up with them? You could use two pencils ; )
I think you did great, Debra!! Whistling is hard and I don't know if I'd be able to teach someone to do that. One thing that I teach people every now and then is to braid hair - especially French braiding. I think that's what I would go with!!
I think you did great.
I agree with Anthony-you did a GREAT job with this question. Why do you think he asked you that? And how did your interview turn out??
I think you did an awesome job with answering the question. Who cares if you felt uncomfortable, as long as you got a result. He didn't know how to whistle and now he does. That should stick with him as he works through the decision-making process!
