Here a few “trick” questions – there is no right or wrong answer. The recruiter will ask you these questions to note how quick you are to “think on your feet”.
- How would you explain the concept of light and darkness to a man who has been blind all his life?
- How would you explain to your grandmother what is an ‘ATM machine’?
- How would you explain to your grandfather what is a ‘compiler’?
- How would you explain to your grandmother what is a ‘database’?
- What do you think are your greatest strengths?
- What are your greatest weaknesses? (name at least three)
- Explain the concept of a database to your 8 year old nephew? (don’t worry if you don’t have one – just be creative!)
- How will you tell your grandmother how ‘Cloud Computing’ is going to change her world?
- Give the two most likely outcomes when I roll two dice (regular, nothing funny!) and how the potential results change with the dice (maybe give us a formula)?
- Write a formula to explain life – explain it is as much as you can. (don’t worry, there is no ‘right’ answer!)
- Ask me the toughest question you can think of.
