PSA: When a job interviewer says, "Tell me something unique about yourself" ...

Why not? A stupid question lifted from a manual deserves an equally stupid answer. Make the HR guys work for their money.



I was thinking the same thing, but the lady wasn't on the same page.

I'll be sure to say "Pfft you thought that last guy with 3 testicles was unique? I have four."

"Oh, he didn't say that's why he's unique? Well... I still have four."

she would make a great lawyer, engineer or programmer.
 
I think the fingerprint thing is clever. if I were giving a series of interviews and someone gave me that answer I'd remember them and actually be more inclined to hire them I think
 
My position in space and time is unique, and no one can ever take that away from me.

Reminds me of Mr. Manly, from some radio show:

<Talking to a "highly attractive" female psychologist>

"I bet you see nuts all day. Well take a gander at these!"


And then he of course sustains some normally-fatal injury as a result.

 
I don't have any good answers to that question. They are really not interested in your answer, rather how you answered it.

I go with humour if I have to.
