What's the worst question you've been asked during an interview? Last week I was asked, if I were a color, what color would I be and why...

These are stupid questions to ask, but it’s not about the question really. It’s your response and seeing the gears moving as the candidate responds. Why and how they arrived at that answer. So I get it. But, I would also not waste anyone’s time asking it. Read the room, everyone is out of work, bad time for silly questions.

I once had a job interview where the guy interviewing me was oddly interested in a company I used to work for. He kept asking me questions about the place, and I was answering them, which I didn't mind at first. But it kind of became the theme of the interview. I felt like saying, hey, if you want to work there, go ahead and apply, but I'd rather we talk about the job I'm trying to get here. Which I didn't get, by the way.

Another question, that was asked- which animal would you like to be?

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
