Had a job interview several years back for a large publicly traded company.
During the initial phone screen the hiring manager asked me “Do you know who the CEO of our company is?”
No, why the fuck would I care who the CEO is? I found your posting on Indeed and I’m looking for a job. Who your CEO is, is irrelevant to me. Seriously the dumbest question I’ve ever been asked on an interview.
They still asked me to go come in for the in person interview. I didn’t get the job. Probably dodged a bullet.
