Chances are that if you’ve opened this article, you are in a position to hire someone. Good for you! Even better, you’ve opened an article dedicated to funny job interview questions, which also means that you truly care about the interviewee feeling relaxed, at ease, and comfortable while you’re conducting your interview. So, without any further ado - this is our list of the best funny job interview questions. 

These funny questions aren’t just good to relieve the tension that inevitably hangs in the air whenever there’s a job interview being conducted. In fact, as you’re about to see, these job interview questions, although superficially entertaining, do ask about some pretty serious stuff and reveal interesting character traits once answered. Take, for instance, the one inquiring about the choice of being either Batman or Robin. Now, although it seems fun, by choosing Batman, someone will prove they’re more of a leading character, while by choosing Robin, they’ll disclose their aptitude for teamwork. See, although funny, these are, in fact, some of the best questions you could add to your job interview roster to truly dive beneath the surface!

Now, ready to pick your choices? If so, just scroll down below to where the submissions start. Although we’re pretty certain that all of these are good job interview questions, they are in a bit of a jumble as of now. So, once you get to them, be sure to rank them so the absolute best find their way to the top of this list.

I would want to clarify their question first. Do you mean what would I want as in the "anything I desire," or as in the "any position on their planet"? Good communication is so very important, wouldn't you agree? ----If that doesn't ace the question I don't know what would 🤪

Well, if you had enough ball bearings you could not get them all to fit into a 747. Since they are made of quality steel the structure of the airplane would bust apart way before you could complete the loading process. Therefore your count would never be accurate !

I think I got it, I'll call the hourglasses 4h and 7h for convenience. So, you turn both at the same time. When 4h is finished you've got 3 min left in 7h. Turn 4h. When 7h finishes you have 1min left in 4h. Start counting. When the 1min finishes turn 4h again, and then 4h once again and you've got 9 minutes. Or use a stopwatch.
