I was asked at an interview this morning, a question that was easy and I screwed up. In fact it was such a dumb question that my mind went blank.

Interviewer: Which of these businesses that you have worked for was the most business-y, would you say?

Me: duh well...they all were business-y in their own way...duh..uhh..I'm not sure what you mean...uuh..

Cicero-0

Interviewer-10

It looks like I lost that one!

Actually, that is a weird question. How the hell does anyone answer that the right way?

It's a stupid question.

What is the interviewer hoping to learn from such a question? How do you handle non sequitors?

I think its a good question because you say bidness A. The interviewer asks why A? Your answer tells them what you think is important. I can see dropping the ball when asked cold though. "Well my boss at A used to hook us up with coke at Christmas-time but all the guys at B used to get together on weekends to cook meth, that just isn't very professional, management shouldn't mix with the worker bees."
