One of the most difficult parts of many jobs is getting them in the first place. Half the time our resumes get lost under a pile of hundreds, and if we're lucky enough to get an interview there are many different ways that we could potentially mess it up. The questions (and how we answer them) are the most vital part of the whole operation, and some interviewers will stop at nothing to trip people up.
This has been emphasized in a detailed Reddit thread, in which people shared the trickiest interview questions that they had ever been asked. Ranging from the mundane to the bafflingly creative, there's no doubt many of us would struggle with these under pressure. Thinking on your feet is always stressful, and when your income is on the line it's even worse. We don't all get to do things the nepo baby way, no matter how much we want to.
