    Going for an interview soon? There is nothing worse than being asked something that you aren’t prepared for. If you’re having problems thinking on your feet, imagine being a job candidate at one of the top companies in the world. Check out these interview questions from Apple, Goldman Sachs, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

    1. If you were given a box of pencils, list 10 things you could do with them that are not their traditional use.

    2. How would you test an elevator?

    3. If you were a street sign what would you be?

    4. A Russian gangster kidnaps you. He puts two bullets in consecutive order in an empty six-round revolver, spins it, points it at your head and shoots. Click. You’re still alive. He then asks you, “Do you want me to spin it again and fire, or pull the trigger again?” For each option, what is the probability that you’ll be shot?

    5. Tell me a joke.

    6. A dwarf-killing giant lines up 10 dwarfs from shortest to tallest. Each dwarf can see all the shortest dwarfs in front of him, but cannot see the dwarfs behind himself. The giant randomly puts a white or black hat on each dwarf. No dwarf can see their own hat. The giant tells all the dwarfs that he will ask each dwarf, starting with the tallest, for the color of his hat. If the dwarf answers incorrectly, the giant will kill the dwarf. Each dwarf can hear the previous answers, but cannot hear when a dwarf is killed. What strategy should be used to kill the fewest dwarfs, and what is the minimum number of dwarfs that can be saved with this strategy?

    7. If you were to be a Sony product, what would you be?

    8. Describe a time when you encountered ambiguity and how you dealt with it.

    9. Do you believe in a higher power?

    10. How would you describe a dynamometer to an 8-year-old child?
