How To Answer If You Could Choose One Super Power, What Would It Be Why

How To Answer If You Could Choose One Super Power, What Would It Be Why Its fair to say that on our Career Knowledge Base, our Interview Advice section is easily the most popular section of the site, thanks in part to the wonderful (ahem!) advice we give out and probably thanks in part to the sheer number of articles weve got in this section! Now, while weve covered some of the more obvious interview questions such as Why Should We Hire You?, What Are Your Hobbies? and What Are Your Biggest Strengths?  before, we havent really looked at some of the weirder interview questions  in detail so today I thought it was time to change that starting with the unusual superpower question. As I just mentioned, this question is a pretty unusual one and, as such, its designed to catch you off guard and make you think on your feet. That said; its still probably worth giving this question a bit of thought beforehand, just in case it does crop up and you end up blurting out an answer which takes you out of the running for the job youre interviewing for.

Have A Reason Ready With this question, you always need to have an answer and a credible reason to hand. Remember, with these types of questions, the employer isnt necessarily interested in your answer but rather the reason behind your answer because this gives an insight into who you are as a person. That said; be sure to have a credible reason for your choice one that you believe in and which you can stand Try Relate It Back To The Role Youre Being Interviewed For OK, so I know earlier I said that you shouldnt give an answer which sucks up to the employer but with a question like this, if you can relate your answer back to the job without going overboard on the cheese, then go for it. An example? You could say youd love to be able to be in two places at once so you can get a real insight into how a clients business works, while completing work on their behalf See, not that cheesy at all, huh?! Judge The Situation With these types of interview questions, the best answer you can give is ultimately going to depend on who your interviewer is and what the situation is.
