Right. While I wasn't interviewing for a technical position, the interviewer asked me to 'vote off' one of the 50 U.S. states, and to describe my reasoning why (perhaps this is a common question but I hadn't encountered it before). It was basically an exercise in thinking out loud, with a lot of "well, I'd probably want to first consider x, but actually before doing that I'd want to take into account y...". There wasn't any undue pressure, since there was clearly no right answer, so it allowed me to just riff out loud on the problem, exposing to the interviewer how I approach problems. I use this same technique now when interviewing others. |
