I never had any crazy questions, just the general, cliche typical ones. I did have one "trick" question, which I personally liked but some of the other guys who interviewed there (I knew some of them from school) didnt like. Mostly because they didnt get hired because of it. It was super simple.
I was in aviation school to get my A&P license, we were toward the end and getting ready to take our barrage of tests to get our license, and a local airline came in and did a small mass interview for a few positions they had opening up. I interviewed along with ten or twelve other students. I went in, answered all the typical interview type questions. I thought I was doing well. After about 20 minutes of more questions, a nice, well dressed guy came in, said hello, and sat down. He reached into his pocket and laid out on the desk a 9 volt battery, clipped to a 9V battery clip, and the two wires on the clip were connected to a small light socket with a flashlight battery in it. He said "The battery is brand new and shows 9v on a multimeter, but the light wont light because it is burnt out. Fix it." He then reached into his pocket and put a spare bulb on the desk. Then he said "Let me know when you are done" and he sat there with a blank stare on his face and watched. I figured there was a trick to this, I looked at it for a second, and thought this is too easy, there is some trick or they are looking for something very specific. I stared at it for a second or two and thought, just do it strictly by the book. I picked it up, disconnected the battery from the clip, unscrewed the bulb, but the new bulb in, reconnected the battery, and handed it all back to him, light shining bright. I figured, this was so simple, I had to have screwed it up. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "Thanks for your time." A few more minutes of questions with the interview girl, got up and left. I got a phone call about an hour later with a job offer.
The next day in class all of us who were interviewed were sitting around talking, and the three of us who got offers were shooting high fives to each other, congratulating ourselves. The others who had interviewed but who didnt get offers yet were all sitting around wondering why they hadnt heard anything and wondering if they were even going to. They talked about the interviewer, the questions, the battery and the light, etc. They figured there was something they did or said that didnt go over well.
Then one of our teachers came in, said I heard some of you interviewed for open spots in maintenance down at the airport and only three of you got offers. I know why the rest of you arent going to. Everyone got quiet. He asked if everyone got their light working. We all nodded yes. He leaned in and quietly asked "Did you all disconnect the battery before replacing the light bulb?" A lot of eyes got big and eyebrows went up. He said "You all interviewed fine. But you failed the practical test. The guy who handed you that battery and light was the head of aircraft electrical systems. He said if you arent astute enough to disconnect electrical power before working on a live electrical circuit, then you dont pay enough attention to details to be working on the planes his pilot friends are going to be flying."
UUMPHFFF....
