We’ve recently helped our daughter’s boyfriend to apply for (and successfully land) a new job.

After his final interview, he shared a couple of the more ‘off the wall’ interview questions. Including, ‘How many people would you estimate are in cars, in Newcastle, right now?’

I thought it might be fun to have a look at some other left-field interview questions and found these.
