Group interview. In the application form they asked our weights.

A few years ago I went for an interview at a large Australian retailer, who makes baby onsies, socks, underwear and “chesty” singlets for men. Rhymes with Fronds. It was a group interview. You know the type. You introduce yourself to everyone, answer some stupidly trivial question that's meant to give an idea of who you are (my 'favourite' ever was 'if you were a fruit, what would you be and why?'), fill out a form and then you do a practice phone call or sale. On the form, page 2, they asked us to supply our weight. They claimed it was so you could climb their 150kg weight rated ladder. But we all knew it was because they expected you to wear their clothes in store.
