The HR interview questions they ask here are just plain stupid and are completely irrelevant. It’s always something like “describe a time when you had to overcome an obstacle at work or tell me about a situation where you resolved a conflict with a co-worker”. Never once do they ask you about your experience in that field, what systems you’ve worked with, or anything else relevant to the position.
It's a mind game. No one really cares if you made any mistakes and what they were, but it's asked to see if you're honest and confident enough to admit. Honestly, one of the easiest questions to answer and one of the best opportunities to stand out from the rest.
Interviewer: "Have there ever been a time when you ever made a disastrous business decision that cost the GDP of a small nation and destroyed tens of billions of dollars of value for absolutely nothing?"
Stankey: "Can't think of one, no."
I've never asked anyone that in an interview, but then I was hiring people to actually do useful work.
Coming from the evil head of HR herself.
Whomever interviewed her should have asked her how many lives she intends to ruin. Probably would have gotten a bigger salary if she told the truth.
