An Opportunity to Laugh at Ridiculous Career Questions

March 24, 2010 (3:40PM) by Brianna Raymond, CPRW

Wacky career questionsEvery now and then, I visit the Careers & Employment section of Yahoo! Answers to see what people are buzzing about. Maybe I'll find a great blog post idea when I've got a serious case of writers block? It's worked before. Since I've been doing that, I've noticed that most questions are expected, like wanting to know what to ask in a job interview or how to address a year of unemployment on your resume.

But my most recent search turned a little wacky and funny once I got to the third page of popular questions. What did I find? This lovely gem: "I accidentally called a woman 'hideous' at work. What should I do?" This made me laugh out loud in my cube, and reading the explanation of the question made me laugh even more.

Here are the others I found. They're not for the easily offended or politically correct, and you're urged to read the colorful answers at your own risk: 

Snickers. Happy Wednesday everyone!

P.S. If you have any career questions you need answered, feel free to post them on our Facebook discussion board. And please, keep 'em clean! :)

It must look bad because I have 35 years(12 as a Dept. supervisor) in the printing business and have been looking for a job for over a year now. I have decided to take some continuing education classes in excel and other tech classes if I don't starve to death first

How can you apply to jobs where they are looking for "Wonder Woman" or "Superman" qualities. to quote from a recent job listing..."The candidate must be able to manage employees, patients, laboratory equipment, marketing, patient scheduling and equipment purchase..." It goes on to say that the person for the job needs to check inventory and answer phones for scheduling and hiring new physicians.
