“Would you go on a date with me?” and “Could I get a pay advance?” are among the most, um, memorable questions interviewers have heard. (RT @payscale: RT @FortuneMagazine: What not to ask in a job interview.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Love this article!!! If you want a few chuckles, please read.
You may think that there is no way that candidates ask these questions -- I am here to tell you that they do! Besides the below questions, people have often asked about salary, when they are due for an increase, when they get their bonus, when they can take their first vacation, how many sick days are the given, and questions that certainly should not be asked on the first interview. What are some other questions that you have heard besides the below?

There's a good chance the hiring manager in your next job interview will ask that dreaded question: What’s your biggest weakness? Here are some tips for handling it.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Excellent advice and tips!
It is true that most people know about the "What is your weakness" interview question; however, it does seem funny that some people stumble and lose their ground when answering the question.
As the article says: "It’s not a trick question and there’s no “right” answer—but interviewers are looking for something specific in your response to this challenging query."
What is the purpose of the question? Yes, it could be to check for resiliency; however, for me the goal is to do a temperature check on the candidate to see if they would be honest in sharing what they learned, and better yet what they are doing to develop their opportunity area.
For example an example response could be...."An area of opportunity that I identified this year is to strenghten my advanced knowledge of ____ software. What I am doing to strenghten this area is a, b, c, etc.
This shows that you have a development plan and are building those muscles!
