That sounds like a pretty mean question to me, and you are probably right that it was just meant to rattle the applicants. Once upon a time job interviews were about the job and not off the wall like that. What sort of job was it, something creative?

nah...it was that job doesnt even require you to be creative or innovative. i am not sure why that question comes up and how that can evaluate an applicant. it was for a customer service representative. do you think its a relevant question?

Ahh, customer service. That makea a little sense, perhaps because sometimes extremely angry customers try to throw you off. Then I think the question was just to see if the applicant got frustrated easily and was quick in thinking. They probably didn't attach any great psychological importance to it. The I would have said I'd want to be a can-opener and be able to open things up to see what was inside or some silly nonsense like that. I do think though that those kinds of questions are a bit unfair.

well i can say the fridge, for it is important to keep the food fresh and i also can be the tv remote for everybody wants to hold it. and some members of the family even quarrel about the tv remote. when you are missing people tend to go crazy just to see you. hahaha

i want to be the cpu..it all goes through the cpu and then the mouse and keyboard are good to but the most basic of all is the various remote control device for tv, video. etc
