To get some more levity on the board, does anyone want to share funny questions they have gotten in interviews? I'll start: Phone interview: "What dish would you bring to our faculty potluck?"  |

That's a nice question, as it says something about them getting along after hours.

Describe your teaching style with two adjectives. Georgia Southern, eh? I actually got "if you were a penguin would you have feathers?" Maybe they were testing me for trivia night. |

Describe your teaching style with two adjectives. At least they didn't ask you to describe it with two verbs... |

Did you say yes?
I think I might have said, "Yes. If you were a whale, would you have hair?"

"I actually got "if you were a penguin would you have feathers?" Maybe they were testing me for trivia night." What?? Are you serious? Yes. I sort of felt like they were trolling me. (Aside: I was offered the position and declined it). |

Did you say yes? I think I might have said, "Yes. If you were a whale, would you have hair?" I said something along the lines of "Of course they have feathers. They're birds." and then looked at the guy as if it was a completely normal question to ask during an interview. |
