面试中说了这些话居然还拿到了工作，醉了

最近Quora上回复很火的一个话题：What is the craziest thing you have ever said(or done) at an interview and still got the job?

就是问，你在面试中说过或者做过哪些最疯狂的事最后还得到了这个工作?

Richard Waddington回复说：

I had been with the same company for over a decade and decided it was time to move on, so this was my first job interview in a very long time. I was more than a little stressed out about it... Suit? Cleaned and pressed. Tie? Tied and straight. Shoes shined. Socks match. Ok, time to go.

As I'm heading out the door, my daughter (who was about 4 at the time) rushed up and said "Daddy, take this for good luck!" and handed me a little plastic cow from a barnyard play set. I gave her a big hug, and rushed off, hoping I wouldn't be late.

After several hours of being poked and prodded technically, and feeling pretty good about it, I'm sitting across from the VP of HR, a middle aged woman wearing a conservative suit, who says "I've heard good things from the interview team, but I do have one concern..."

Uh oh...

"...You look like a pretty straight-laced guy, and, well, things get a little crazy here from time to time. How do I know you'll fit in?"

Without thinking I blurted out, "I have a cow in my pocket!"

There was a moment of very awkward silence, and I was convinced I'd just blown it, but I found the cow, and set it on the table. Another second or two went by before she burst out laughing.

I got the job.

我的第一份工作大概是十年前，因为那是第一次面试心情很忐忑。检查西装，嗯直挺整洁;领带，干净笔直;皮鞋，一尘不染;袜子，搭配合适，好可以出发了。

正当我出门的时候，4岁的女儿冲出来说：“爸爸带上这个吧，会给你带来好运!”随即就把玩具奶牛塞到我手里，我抱了下她就赶紧出门了，心里念着可千万别迟到。

经过了几个小时的面试之后，我觉得自己表现还不错，一位穿着传统西装的中年女HR跟我说：“我们整个面试团队都对你很满意，但是我们只有一个疑虑……”

“你看起来有些太过正经，嗯我们这儿有人有时候会比较疯狂，我不知道你能不能适应?”

我一点没思考脱口而出：“我口袋里面有只牛!”

沉默了几秒之后，我知道HR被我震惊到了，我灰溜溜的拿出玩具牛放到了桌上，又过了一两秒，她已然笑抽。

我最后拿到了那份工作。

面试官是个高级技术人员，在面试最后他问我：“你还有什么问题吗?”

我想了一会儿说：“在这里工作最差的事情是什么?”

他思考了一分钟左右，然后站起来关上门，跟我说了半个小时的悲惨细节，整个人都不好了。

第二天我收到后续通知，好像说他和我讲完话后，辞职了，HR们想知道我们面试时到底发生了什么。

我一五一十全盘交代，预料这份工作估计没什么戏了。结果出人意料，这家公司的CTO直接找到我，问我是否愿意和他出国，帮助他解决公司出现的问题，当然也有技术上的。

最后我就去了。

Olivier Peyre回复说：

- CEO & Founder: "So, since you worked at X, you must know Ms Y"

- Me: "Oh, I do know her. Quite a nut case if you ask me".

(4 managing partners around the table, jaw dropped in awe)

- CEO: "She is the mother of my child."

- Me: "..."

- CEO: "Indeed, she is insane. We split up a few months ago."

And yes, I got the job.

CEO兼创始人： “既然你之前在X公司干过，那你一定知道Y女士这个人吧。 ”

我： “呃。。我知道。。 真的挺傻逼挺难搞的一个人。。如果你真的要问我的话。。。”

(当时办公室里4个公司高管全都一股惊讶的表情。。。)

CEO： “恩。。。她是我孩子的妈妈。。。”

我：“。。。。”

CEO：“确实，，她是挺疯的。我们几个月前离婚了。。。”

是的。。最后我拿到了那个工作。。。。

Stan Hanks回复说：

The interviewer, a very senior technical guy, asked me, "So, do you have any questions for me?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "What's the worst thing about working here?"

He thought about it for a minute, then got up and closed his door, and told me. For like half an hour, in painful detail, getting more agitated as he went. Then he was done, and sent me on my way saying I'd hear back soon.

The next day I got called back in. Seems that after he talked to me, he went and resigned, and the HR rep asked what happened in our interview.

After I told them, in detail, I expected to hear nothing further since I would have been reporting to him. Instead, the CTO came in to talk to me, and asked if I would be interested in coming aboard to help him fix all the things that seemed to be wrong with the organization (and solve some cool technical problems as well).

So I did.

James H. Kelly回复说：

At an interview for a tech startup, I was asked, "where do you see yourself in five years?"

I answered, "in hollywood, making movies."

I got the job. Three years later, the startup failed. Two years after that, I moved to Hollywood and am now making movies.

Win, win.

有一次我去一家科技初创公司面试。。。

他们CEO问我，你觉得你5年之后会在干什么?

我当时脑抽了还是怎么的就回答道：“在好莱坞。。。拍电影。。。”

大概他们CEO也脑抽了。。 然后我就得到了那份工作。。

3年后，那个创业公司倒闭了。。。 又过了两年，我搬去了好莱坞。。 开始去电影公司里拍电影。。。。

简直是双赢-。-!

This was a campus interview during my undergrad from a reputed technical institute in India.

Interviewer: Tell me something about you that we can't get from your resume

Me: I'm a very popular person in our class.

Interviewer: How popular?

Me: (Without stopping to think for a minute): 8th popular person in class.

Interviewer: (Little puzzled with the answer) 8th popular?

Me: Yes. There are 7 girls in our class.

The interviewer(s) burst into laughter.. I got the job offer.

这是在印度知名技术研究所来我校招聘的面试上。

面试官：跟我说一些你简历上没有的东西。

我：我在班上很受欢迎。

面试官：怎么个受欢迎法?

我：想都没想就说，我是班上第八个受欢迎的人。

面试官：这怎么说?（略带震惊。。）

我：嗯，我们班上有七个女生。。。
