Craziest interview situations I've been thru:
Was interviewing for a Project Manager position at a Swedish company. Meet with 3 persons and (as I sometimes do, just to check) asked some of my questions to all 3. Was told I would have my own staff and that I would not have direct reports. That they are starting up a PMO and that they would not start a PMO and that I would be the only Project Manager. .That I would report to R&D. That I would report to Manufacturing. That I would report to PMD. I declined their offer and recommended that they align internally before they hire.
I was once interviewed by an HR person who just kept asking me "Is there anything else you want to tell me?", to absolutely no end. Just on and on. She must have said that sentence 30 times in as many minutes. When I said "No, I think that covers it all" she wrote down: "Covers all. Nothing more to say". Struggling to keep from laughing, I imagined how weaker men would crack and scream "Fine! I did it! It was meeee!", but not Torkel.
Some fantastic interview questions I got:
"Tell me 3 things you are ashamed of".
"If your old boss was here, what would he warn me about regarding you?"
"If you wanted to really scare the E36 M3 out of your team, how would you act?"
