Creative interview questions shared by candidates
There were a number of questions around hypothetical situations. Dealing with and managing a difficult employee, for example.
1 Answers↳
I generally focused my answers on the success of the team and company at large. Centered on the idea that putting employees, even difficult ones, in situations where they were set up to succeed, vs fail, was key. If there were still issues, then I was very matter-of-fact with my own philosophy of not hiring a-holes, and that sometimes the talent did not justify the personality. Less

Most of the questions relate to your design skills and previous experience. The only question that I was completely thrown off by was "are you planning on having children?" The interviewer asked this in a casual way when asking other 'get to know you' questions, but I immediately was alarmed that it was asked.

Due to laws of discrimination in the workforce in the US, asking that question, if you plan on having children is 100% illegal to ask. Less

I answered honestly and told the interviewer that children were in my future but not immediately. Less

How would you describe RAM to a 70 year old man?
3 Answers↳
saheli, sorry, but the response you made is kind of lame. Anyway I would explain it as this: 'Well, imagine you were in an exam. You have an exam sheet, and some scrap paper you do calculations on. While it could be hard to solve a task just by looking at the sheet, using scrap paper to calculate the answer will help you alot. More scrap paper helps you do better. that's why computers with more RAM work better.' Less

I compare/contrast with the hard drive, which is usually easier to grasp. I use a filing cabinet / desk space analogy. The hard drive is like a filing cabinet where you permanently keep your documents, and RAM is like your desk space where you have just the papers that you're currently working on. Then I connect it to practical use by explaining how RAM improves speed & multitasking, why the computer will be slow if it doesn't have enough RAM for the task, etc. Less
