I went to a job interview Monday (not the one I mentioned in the last post). This was just a position at a cosmetic counter girl at a local department store. It didn't go so well.
Manager: Is there question that has 2 right answers?
Me: Hmmmm, I really don't know. I guess it depends on the question.
Earlier in the interview.
Manager: Let's say it is a slow day in the store. You need to meet your daily quota and the only way to get more sales is by getting customers. You aren't allowed to leave your counter. How do you do it?

Manager: What makes you take an interest in law?
Me: I like to have intelligent debates. I don't like to argue, but in a controlled environment it can be interesting. (What was I thinking?!?!?)
Manager: So you are a controlling person that likes conflict.
Me: No, I don't think I am like that all. I don't like conflict, but I do believe if a person controls themself they can avoid conflict.
I can go with controlling. Maybe there are things I feel the need to be in control of, but "enjoys conflict" is a bit much. I dislike conflict. I avoid conflict. It is one of my best traits. I only have dates with Conflict when there is no one else and things have turned desperate.
Hmmmm. Wonder if I got the job...

They sound like stupid questions from a manager that doesn't know what else to ask you. "Is there a question that has two right answers?" What are you applying to be a sales person or Plato's assistant?
