At my last job interview, they handed me the questions to look over for 5 minutes before the interview began. Massively reduced my nerves and showed that my new employers are considerate and supportive, which is what I want in a manager.
that is ridiculously good idea. I mean if you want people to give the best interview they can give them a few minutes to prepare for exactly what type of interview they're about to experience. that being said sometimes you need employees that can think on their feet, so not giving interviewees questions kind of makes sense as well but you know I don't know. How well you do in life should be more than the result of how well you answer a few questions but sometimes your future does come down to that.
For every interviewer that thinks "Oh, they didn't email me after the interview thanking me, they're not eager enough" there's another thinking "Why the hell are they cluttering up my email with a thank you message, they're too needy"
How about the interviewer thanking the interviewee? If they don't, they clearly don't respect their colleagues, and I don't want to work there. You want my respect...you have to earn it.
Interviews are like dating, if u both like each other and u get along well and want to meet again then great if not then both people will mutually agree to not meet again and that's fine just u know go ur separate ways and find someone else

Sir Alan Sugar, please give some of us underdogs an opportunity to shine as it may bring out their true potential.
Perhaps the stupidest interview question is 'Why have you applied to us?' Of course the plain fact that one needs a job and money never ever comes into the answer.
i think if you email someone after a job interview saying thank you it seems like you’re trying to make yourself known to them. you should thank them at the interview and then in your acceptance/rejection email
So I live in England, if I see a hippo I’m most likely in a zoo. So either the hippo is in a hole in its enclosure, in which case that’s probably fine unless it’s a really deep hole (but I doubt the zookeepers would have left a hazardous hole in the enclosure), if that was the case I would alert someone that works in the zoo as I wouldn’t be able to assist. If the hippo was outside of its enclosure but still in the zoo, I would report it, and as it’s stuck in a hole it isn’t likely to cause harm to itself or other people until the zoo staff come help it. If I was in any other situation with a hippo, my sense of self-preservation says to leave it in the hole unless I had a reason to remove it. In that case, if I had access to my choice of resources, I would tranquillise the hippo then use something like a crane to lift it out and lower it down gently into a safe area. If not, I would try to dig one side of the hole to create a slope for the hippo to climb out of by itself (hopefully when I’m nowhere near it).
Also the only way to get a hippo out of a hole is using a multi ton machine made to lift, or dig a way out of that hole (which is dangerous). So either way most people have to call someone else
Dear BBC, Thank you for posting. True story: Summer 2004 I once had a job interview at "Babies 'R Us" 🌈 The lady interviewing me asked me this question: "What makes you qualified to sell baby clothes?" I said: "Well.. 😒 In 1994, I had a baby.. It was a girl" I didn't get the job. 😥 The company went under. 😲 (In an excited baby voice): Okay bye. 👋 Michigan, USA 💗 Peace ✌
@@blimeyjoe253 all that would tell you is that the light button works properly. But what if the fridge door is warped or dented somehow and doesn't make full contact with the button? I've thought about this way more than I had to :D Can you tell I gotta get a life? :)
I feel like I and a lot of (mainly) younger people are missing a lot of great TV nowadays. I know 'watch more TV' is hardly a good rallying call, but I had no idea this show existed.
"I'm a kind of racist and I get a bit touchy feely around women." Perfect response to such a stupid question. Luckily for me I'm approaching retirement because I'd fail most job interviews these days with all these stupid questions "engineered" by social "scientists".
Hippo Question answer: fill the hole with water and let it rise Refrigerator answer: the door will be open if it’s on. The light turns off when it shuts
Yes but it depends on the hippo's position. If its feet are stuck at the bottom, it would drown. Similar considerations apply if there's a bottleneck in the hole somewhere. So widen the hole(if required) and then pour in water gently so the hippo can float out. The point(of the fridge question) is that of course we know fridges are designed that way but how do we determine empirically that the light does indeed shut off when you shut the door. Nowadays there's a simple answer which is to just stick your smartphone in there with the video recording on and close the fridge and take it out a moment later.
Depends on the product, but for the "over 1 million sold globally" you can say you never specified that you sold over 1 million, 1 million sold globally but only 47,000 sold by me
Exactly! Companies lie through their teeth with small print and fake numbers so I was surprised at the guy being interrogated just for exaggerating his sales. Would the business guy prefer it if the website said *"Over 47,316 sold globally!"* ? No, he wouldn't.
@@krashd in an older series of the apprentice, on the you're fired show, claude said the interviews are purposely mean. He pulled up someone on exaggerating on their CV in the show, but admitted that would never happen in real life and he felt bad even asking the question, it's for TV after all.
@@thedunyadoneya2628 yeah you got the point there, but it's still better than just admitting to lying about numbers. As for the other part, that's why I said depends on the product. Obviously if it's your original product the argument wouldn't work
I was in a “group job interview” when I was in college. The moron manager asked “if you could be any character from the film Toy Story, who would it be? I was one of the only millennials in the interview, and there were about 5-10 people in the interview that were over the age of 50 and had no clue what Toy Story even was. Stupid question
Follow up emails to say thank you should not be necessary if the applicant gives a sincere thank you at least once during the interview. Not sure if this was an idea imported from abroad or homegrown, but it’s superfluous. Questions like ‘where do you see yourself in five years?’ also need to go. Someone’s life can change significantly at any time and it might render them unable to plan that far ahead.
Hippo stuck in a hole? Dynamite. Ticket resolved, any issues please relog another ticket with the service desk. If you have a set of requirements, you *must* list them in your specification.
Fill the hole with water. Take the lightbulb out, then you know the light is always off. And Personally I'm a coffee pot, cuz my energy's contagious, but the best and obvious answer is the fire extinguisher, because of your ability to put out any "fires". Do I get the job?
@@rhiannonm6022 hippos swim, homie. Plus any attempt at me personally getting close to the thing would result in my imminent death. Filling it up with water and letting it find it's own way out is much safer.
The real answer to the first question is: You get your collection of loyal friends (who follow you everywhere) to help you take the hippo out of the hole. First, your friends who're vets get their dart rifles out and dart the hippo until it's taken enough sedative for it to be down for a few hours, then, you get the rest of the collection to get their shovels, wheelbarrows and spades out so they can dig a trench for the hippo to escape from. Of course, in the time your men are digging, your vet friends are watching the hippo carefully so it doesn't wake up and kill anyone. Once the trench is dug out, and the vets are happy the hippo will wake up soon, you walk away to a safe distance and watch as it runs off into the wilderness.
I've never understood the point of these ridiculous questions.. Luckily in my profession interviews normally consist of being told what the job involves and being asked if you want the job or not. As long as someone has the qualification(s) to do my job absolutely nothing else matters
Isn't the point of saying one million sold worldwide the point of persuasion?, Gillette the best a man can get.....but is it though?, Poundshop razer's are better tbh.....so ....
Most interviews in Britain are held by incompetent prick managers that don't often judge people based on their ability to do the job. Being straight forward and honest doesn't help either.
No no. See. Common mistake. Fill the hippo hole with water. Hippos are good swimmers, and are buoyant. So. Fill it with water, let 'im swim for a bit. And then Let him climb out himself. Call the animal service people, AS the hole is being filled. Animal service people, knock out the hippo after it comes out, and THEN you drain the water as they load up the unconcious hippo. Boom. Simple.

That's why I figure I'll have to put up with decades yet of my cheeky sister's wisecracks and your family, I fear, are in a similar position! ;)
To check that the fridge light is going off when you close the door
1. Find the button that is pushed in when you close the door.
2. Press the button in and check if the light goes off.
Interviewer "if a hippo fell down a hole how would you get it out?"
Me "fill the hole with water. Hippos can swim. And on a more serious note I'd close facebook and get on with my work"
Shoot it in the head, eat it and leave. Easy.
@@kygodragon4782 barbaric and unnecessary. Hippos lives matter!
Hippos cant swim, they sink and can only walk out if the edge isn't steep enough.
Hippos can't swim. They walk on the riverbed

I so love this show! Just getting to see it and loving it! Keep making more Ranganation!
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years"
Me: "On the other side of this desk"
Damn, I'm stealing that xD
Was once asked in an interview “ if you were stranded on a desert island, what one book would you take?” I told him, “making canoes for dummies” 🙄😂
does it tell you how to build a canoe out of materials found on a dessert island or just simply how to sail one. my answer would be a big one. because at least you can use the pages and kindlering. and make starting a fire easier.
@@TheWeepingDalek lol I don't actually know if there is such a book... I panicked and just said it on the spot... Yours is actually a good idea tho! Genius🤭
The problem here is that people who shout the most tend not to perform when it comes to the crunch. Humility, the yearning to learn and the ability to get to the basics is what makes the difference. Sir Alan Sugar, please give some of us underdogs an opportunity to shine as it may bring out their true potential.
Perhaps the stupidest interview question is 'Why have you applied to us?' Of course the plain fact that one needs a job and money never ever comes into the answer.
"I applied here because I need money to pay for things I actually like doing."
i think if you email someone after a job interview saying thank you it seems like you’re trying to make yourself known to them. you should thank them at the interview and then in your acceptance/rejection email
So I live in England, if I see a hippo I’m most likely in a zoo. So either the hippo is in a hole in its enclosure, in which case that’s probably fine unless it’s a really deep hole (but I doubt the zookeepers would have left a hazardous hole in the enclosure), if that was the case I would alert someone that works in the zoo as I wouldn’t be able to assist. If the hippo was outside of its enclosure but still in the zoo, I would report it, and as it’s stuck in a hole it isn’t likely to cause harm to itself or other people until the zoo staff come help it.
If I was in any other situation with a hippo, my sense of self-preservation says to leave it in the hole unless I had a reason to remove it. In that case, if I had access to my choice of resources, I would tranquillise the hippo then use something like a crane to lift it out and lower it down gently into a safe area. If not, I would try to dig one side of the hole to create a slope for the hippo to climb out of by itself (hopefully when I’m nowhere near it).
Okay now that actually makes sense. Coz in my mind I was picturing a hippo stuck in a manhole head first haha.
After I dig out that hole call a lad to bring a few gates and a car trailer, put an ad up for the exotic animal and only take cash.
Also the only way to get a hippo out of a hole is using a multi ton machine made to lift, or dig a way out of that hole (which is dangerous). So either way most people have to call someone else
just feed it lettuce,for a few months,then it wouldnt get stuck again(hippos love lettuce,,with mayo,great diet,see it all the time in africa
you say you would alert the zookeepers. but what is your plan if the job you are interviewing for is zookeeper?
Dear BBC,
Thank you for posting.
True story:
Summer 2004
I once had a job interview at "Babies 'R Us" 🌈
The lady interviewing me asked me this question:
"What makes you qualified to sell baby clothes?"
I said:
"Well.. 😒
In 1994, I had a baby..
It was a girl"
I didn't get the job. 😥
The company went under. 😲
(In an excited baby voice): Okay bye. 👋
Michigan, USA 💗
Peace ✌
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hanging from my ceiling fan if i have to hear this stupid-ass question one more time in that period...
Put your phone in the fridge while it is recording video. BOOM! Solved it for ya :P
That answer would tell a prospective employer that you are a pragmatic and logical problem solver. Or that you like to record your food occasionally.
You could just open the fridge, use your finger to press down the switch that turns the light off, and see if it does turn off
@@blimeyjoe253 all that would tell you is that the light button works properly. But what if the fridge door is warped or dented somehow and doesn't make full contact with the button? I've thought about this way more than I had to :D Can you tell I gotta get a life? :)
@@ducheswannabe oh I can answer that one.... yes 😜
This would only work if the fridge and phone weren't in cahoots, and we all know they are.
For the first one I would fill the hole with water to get the hippo out.
Hippos neither float or swim. You have drowned the hippo.
Bruce Karaus I thought they couldn’t swim but could float?
I would find more people to brainstorm with, when rescuing a trapped animal the more people present the more likely you are to be successful.
My man
Bruce Karaus what are you talking about? Of course they swim. They mostly live in water. They hold their breath for like 20 minuets
To me if there's questionnaire that have nothing to do about the job, they're not hiring, but looking a friend or soulmate.
It's great how he seems to attract all different types of people with humour.
I have to say, i was in the audience on this episode, and it was absolutely hilarious.
But ita not that funny...
I feel like I and a lot of (mainly) younger people are missing a lot of great TV nowadays. I know 'watch more TV' is hardly a good rallying call, but I had no idea this show existed.
"I'm a kind of racist and I get a bit touchy feely around women." Perfect response to such a stupid question. Luckily for me I'm approaching retirement because I'd fail most job interviews these days with all these stupid questions "engineered" by social "scientists".
Hippo Question answer: fill the hole with water and let it rise
Refrigerator answer: the door will be open if it’s on. The light turns off when it shuts
Yes but it depends on the hippo's position. If its feet are stuck at the bottom, it would drown. Similar considerations apply if there's a bottleneck in the hole somewhere. So widen the hole(if required) and then pour in water gently so the hippo can float out.
The point(of the fridge question) is that of course we know fridges are designed that way but how do we determine empirically that the light does indeed shut off when you shut the door. Nowadays there's a simple answer which is to just stick your smartphone in there with the video recording on and close the fridge and take it out a moment later.
what makes you think hippo's float? i see this answer a lot and it worries me a bit because. hippos don't actually swim. they walk along the bottom.
@@jamespower5165 or just any old video camera. doesn't have to be a phone.
havent heard loyle carner outside of his shows, that was a shock but a great one
Romesh's mom 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
First question: cordon off the hole to prevent escape, fill it with water. It’s a hippo it’ll swim to the surface.
Depends on the product, but for the "over 1 million sold globally" you can say you never specified that you sold over 1 million, 1 million sold globally but only 47,000 sold by me
Exactly! Companies lie through their teeth with small print and fake numbers so I was surprised at the guy being interrogated just for exaggerating his sales. Would the business guy prefer it if the website said *"Over 47,316 sold globally!"* ? No, he wouldn't.
@@krashd in an older series of the apprentice, on the you're fired show, claude said the interviews are purposely mean. He pulled up someone on exaggerating on their CV in the show, but admitted that would never happen in real life and he felt bad even asking the question, it's for TV after all.
@ivan, you still have to be able to prove that 1m were sold. And it also might counter any point you make about exclusivity/patents
@@thedunyadoneya2628 yeah you got the point there, but it's still better than just admitting to lying about numbers. As for the other part, that's why I said depends on the product. Obviously if it's your original product the argument wouldn't work
I was in a “group job interview” when I was in college. The moron manager asked “if you could be any character from the film Toy Story, who would it be? I was one of the only millennials in the interview, and there were about 5-10 people in the interview that were over the age of 50 and had no clue what Toy Story even was. Stupid question
Which was it?
We need to look at the hippo problem as a whole!
Can someon link me that study? Need to reference my put-down...
that guy saying he would call the fire brigade. what happens if the job you are being interviewed for is the fire brigade.
Watching that lying salesmen was very satisfying.
I wonder if Tom knew he'd be hosting The Apprentice: You're fired in a few months time??
You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortois. It's crawling toward you....
Fill the hole up with water...

Except hippos can't actually swim

@@Black-Re4per I guess we'll which one of you is correct once the water level has passed the hippo's head^^
@@sept1ne Sure they can, they used to do it in a circle in the old BBC1 idents
These are like Oxbridge questions! Well supposedly, my interview wasn’t really like that, but this is the kind of shit you have to prepare for...
Romeshs mum just acts like his mum. 😄
Hippo in a hole, fill it with water, it wouldn't drown :D Fridge, there is likely a latch that turns off the light.
Love this show, it’s so funny.
That first question did my head in. Dig a slope towards the hole
Follow up emails to say thank you should not be necessary if the applicant gives a sincere thank you at least once during the interview. Not sure if this was an idea imported from abroad or homegrown, but it’s superfluous. Questions like ‘where do you see yourself in five years?’ also need to go. Someone’s life can change significantly at any time and it might render them unable to plan that far ahead.
Why does wheeler dealer look like a racially insensitive Rob Schneider character lmao
Hippo stuck in a hole? Dynamite.
Ticket resolved, any issues please relog another ticket with the service desk.
If you have a set of requirements, you *must* list them in your specification.
Fill the hole with water.
Take the lightbulb out, then you know the light is always off.
And
Personally I'm a coffee pot, cuz my energy's contagious, but the best and obvious answer is the fire extinguisher, because of your ability to put out any "fires".
Do I get the job?
So you're going to drown it?
@@rhiannonm6022 hippos swim, homie. Plus any attempt at me personally getting close to the thing would result in my imminent death. Filling it up with water and letting it find it's own way out is much safer.
In Bengali, aga means poo😂

The person in the top left of the audience looks like Alice from the Brady Bunch from a distance.
Omg I love shanti 😂😂😂😂
So sad this show ended
I'd fill the bloody hole with water and make sure I wasn't around when it's filled up.
hippo's don't actually swim. they walk along the bottom.
@@TheWeepingDalek Still stands. Don't wanna see it drown neither.
First question...
Answer fill it with cement
The real answer to the first question is:
You get your collection of loyal friends (who follow you everywhere) to help you take the hippo out of the hole.
First, your friends who're vets get their dart rifles out and dart the hippo until it's taken enough sedative for it to be down for a few hours, then, you get the rest of the collection to get their shovels, wheelbarrows and spades out so they can dig a trench for the hippo to escape from. Of course, in the time your men are digging, your vet friends are watching the hippo carefully so it doesn't wake up and kill anyone.
Once the trench is dug out, and the vets are happy the hippo will wake up soon, you walk away to a safe distance and watch as it runs off into the wilderness.
The alternate answer is, you kill the hippo and bury it. Then dig up the bones once it's decayed.
I've never understood the point of these ridiculous questions..
Luckily in my profession interviews normally consist of being told what the job involves and being asked if you want the job or not. As long as someone has the qualification(s) to do my job absolutely nothing else matters
Green turban. Brilliant.
Hahahaha romesh’s mum wins!
We need a show like this in 🇺🇸 people would shit!
*open the bloody door*
when asked about the one million sold line on amazon he should have just said "that was a marketing tactic, and it worked."
If I see a hippie in a hole I usually just offer peace and love
I would've filled up the hole with water so the hippo had a home. Boom problem solving lol
That works if the hippo is alive
@@farmingrom9987 he didn't say it was dead?
you'd drown the hippo?
@@impqsx should float to the top and have it's own little pool.
@@palmeristo they cant float lol
Love, love, LOVE.
Fill the hole with water 😂
Who's "small town girl"?
I would just say I have better things to do then answer stupid questions.
So i could of wrote it...
In percentages?
Probably 100%i wrote it...😂🤣😂🤣
The answer is fill the hole with water and turn it into a pond, put up a fence, charge people to come to your zoo.....
Isn't the point of saying one million sold worldwide the point of persuasion?, Gillette the best a man can get.....but is it though?, Poundshop razer's are better tbh.....so
....
Just get in the fridge and shut the door
Most interviews in Britain are held by incompetent prick managers that don't often judge people based on their ability to do the job. Being straight forward and honest doesn't help either.
fill the hole with water - now were is my job?
Neriak Soul hippos don't float bro.
@@epsilonalpha2430 they do swim very well though
@@Snaakie83 they don't swim either. They walk on the river/canal bed.
Hippo in a hole how do you get it out. Fill the hole up with water boom!
No already been said and you too are wrong. The hippo would drown.
Why does your water explode?
Yeah coz hippos can’t swim yeah nah.
Your mums a legend 🤣🤣🤣
Add subtitles!!!
No no.
See. Common mistake.
Fill the hippo hole with water. Hippos are good swimmers, and are buoyant. So. Fill it with water, let 'im swim for a bit. And then Let him climb out himself. Call the animal service people, AS the hole is being filled.
Animal service people, knock out the hippo after it comes out, and THEN you drain the water as they load up the unconcious hippo.
Boom. Simple.
