What book are you currently reading? What that question really means in a job interview.


Job interview questions can range from predictable to peculiar. 

They’re designed to get to know you in a short amount of time. Undercover Recruiter has looked at some typical questions - and the logic behind them:

* What would you title your autobiography? We want to know what you think of yourself.

* How does your family feel about you working long hours? We want to know if you're flexible.

* Why are manhole covers round? We're checking your deductive reasoning.

* If you were to get rid of one U.S. State, which would it be? We're checking your priorities.

* What do you expect to be doing five years from now? We need to know your ambitions.

* Why should I hire you? We hope you’re confident and qualified, not cocky.

* What are your weaknesses? Let's hope you’re aware of at least one.

* How would your friends describe you? We want to know if you're a people person.

* Why do you want to work here? We hope you did your research.

* What book are you currently reading? Yes, we're about to judge your intellectual curiosity.
