'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek'? Questions You Just Might Hear in the Interview

As someone who doesn't know a Klingon from a Jedi, I've watched in bewilderment as friends have debated which franchise is superior: 'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek.' Normally, I feign interest for a few minutes and then tune out when someone begins to imitate Yoda. The next time I'm in this situation, I might start taking notes instead.

Interviewers, tired of asking the same old questions again and again, are posing unique interview questions to job seekers. Some of of which, seemingly have no right answer. Job seekers have reported being asked which they prefer, 'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek.' We're not talking about the usual head scratchers or about jobs where this information is relevant, such as at a comics store or special effects studio. No, organizations of all sizes, and in a variety of industries, are posing unusual questions to their interviewees.
