Interview Question for Procurement Intern at Nestlé USA:

The strongest one, obviously.

Having been a brick layer during college, I learned that each brick is at least slightly different, and the placement of a brick is essential to the overall performance of the wall. Here are some brick laying tips to consider when formulating a response to this question:

- The first brick layed at the corner of a wall determines the position of every other brick in that wall.

- One brick laid with too large of a head joint, or not being level or plumb can effect rows of brick beside and above it.

- A soldier course of brick provides visual interest to an otherwise monotonous wall.

-Bricks are made of natural clay fired in a kiln; close up each brick has a slightly different design , texture, shape, and color patterns, though all have almost exactly the same basic dimensions, though these can also vary.

The keystone, or last brick placed in an arch helps support all the weight above the arch (which equally distributes that weight to the ground). Every brick in the arch shares the load equally.

- I invite other masons to post further food for thought.

I would a brick in the taj mahal. Its marble, its a wonder, and it still astonishes scientists.

Yet another stupid and inappropriate question to ask in a job interview.

All in all, just another one, of course!

These are what I call questions from the Barbara Walters' School of Human Resources. Questions like this one are asked when the interviewer is in over his/her head and knows nothing about the job he/she is interviewing the candidate for.

Recall the widely ridiculed Katharine Hepburn interview (1981) where Walters asked the now infamous "If you were a tree" question. I have been asked a dozen variations of this question (fish, tattoo, wall, etc). I even laughed in an interviewer's face the first time thinking that because I had a media background she was making a Barbara Walters joke. She, sadly, was serious.

This question is a warning that you're not dealing with an engaged interviewer and in my experience, it's a red flag about the company when they send ill-prepared interviewers to make all important first impressions. In other words, do more research before accepting an offer from such a company. Lest you find yourself a doer in a company of B.S.ers.

C'mon, the answer's obvious: the CHOCOLATE one!

This could be a very insightful or very stupid question - depending on who asked it. Viewing the wall as the organization, are you going to fit in? (strength in numbers angle), Or it could be a "are you a dull minded follower" as in Pink Floyd's "The Wall", All in all, just another odd question LOL
