Speculative interview questions are pointless unless a role needs them

Asking, "How many ping-pong balls fit in a Boeing 747?" during an interview is absolutely pointless unless the job actually requires someone to calculate how many ping-pong balls fit in a Boeing 747 on the spot.

 

Mark Horstman, The Effective Hiring Manager.

 

Really loving this book

 

A bewildered job candidate and an interviewer sit inside an aircraft filled with thousands of ping-pong balls.
