In case you\u2019re wondering, GPT is the acronym for Generative Pretrained Transformer, the AI fuel powering this robot. What makes it stand out from the rest is its <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">competency in writing \u2013 in terms of accuracy, originality (not even the most conventional plagiarism checkers can detect a thing from the text), its natural-sounding delivery, and the ability to create various content types (from haiku to thesis!). No wonder Elon Musk has to call it \u201cscary good\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a tech-powered job search engine \u2013 of course, we\u2019ve got to join the game! We sourced 11 of the most challenging interview questions, sorted them according to their level of difficulty (Level 1, the easiest; Level 5, the most difficult), and asked ChatGPT to write up the best answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#1\"><b>Level 1<\/b><\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#2\">What is your greatest weakness?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#3\">What is something that you didn&#8217;t like about your last job?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#4\">What is something your coworker assumes about you that is incorrect?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#5\"><b>Level 2<\/b><\/a>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#6\">If we give you a $1 million dollar budget, where would you spend it and how would you measure ROI?<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#7\">If you want to bring your dog to work but one of your team members is allergic to dogs, what would you do?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#8\">Level 3<\/a><\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#9\">If you could start your career over again what would you do differently?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#10\">Your resume suggests that you may be overqualified\/too inexperienced for this position.

One weakness I could mention is that I struggle with time management and procrastination at times. To combat this, I&#8217;ve been implementing techniques such as creating a to-do list, setting specific deadlines for tasks, and breaking larger projects into smaller, more manageable chunks. This has helped me to stay on track and meet my deadlines more effectively.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also forced ChatGPT to incorporate the worst answer \u201cperfectionist\u201d, here\u2019s its response: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;One of my greatest weaknesses is that I am a perfectionist. I have a tendency to set high standards for myself and others, and can become easily frustrated when things do not go as planned. However, I have learned to recognize this trait in myself and have been working on finding a balance between striving for excellence and being more flexible in my approach. I try to focus on the progress I have made rather than dwelling on mistakes and I try to set realistic and achievable goals for myself and my team. Additionally, I make sure to take breaks and maintain a healthy work-life balance to avoid burnout.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our verdict: 4.5\/5 for the first attempt. We\u2019re particularly impressed by the first sentence. ChatGPT sounds like it\u2019s really in the middle of an interview and is trying to buy time in the face of a tough question.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time management is a good pick. It&#8217;s a realistic weakness and not so deadly that you might blow your chances of getting hired. ChatGPT also lays out an action plan for improvement, showing the potential employer it is self-aware and is willing to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the extra task \u201cBeing a perfectionist\u201d, first things first, this has become clich\u00e9 because too many candidates overused the term in the past, and clearly not everyone can be a perfectionist. The chatbot\u2019s attempt is decent and quite persuasive as it elaborates on why it\u2019s such a perfectionist, and it has a detailed action plan to alleviate the negative impact of going too overboard with striving for excellence. We rate it 4\/5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3276 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/andreas-klassen-gZB-i-dA6ns-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3\">What is something that you didn&#8217;t like about your last job?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This open-ended question is a spinoff of \u201cWhy did you leave your last job?\u201d.

In my last job, I found that there was a lack of clear communication and direction from leadership, which made it difficult to prioritize tasks and feel confident in the work that I was doing. However, it taught me the importance of being proactive in seeking out information and feedback, and how to effectively communicate with my team and superiors to ensure that everyone was on the same page.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 5-star answer! ChatGPT managed not to bash the previous leadership team. It focuses on why the management style isn\u2019t suitable for it. Instead of demanding the external environment to change, it takes the initiative to make a change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3265 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"707\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-4Bs9kSDJsdc-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4\">What is something your coworker assumes about you that is incorrect?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question is a step further to \u201cWhat\u2019s your greatest weakness?\u201d. It\u2019s tricky because what others say about you can give your interviewer a glimpse into your work persona, and some answers could be lethal to your application as explanations can be easily perceived as excuses. Even if you manage to find a harmless flaw, you still need to justify why others would make that assumption in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;People often assume that because of my professional demeanor and accomplishments, I am not approachable or personable. However, I pride myself on being a team player and building strong relationships with my colleagues. I believe that being able to effectively communicate and collaborate with others is just as important as achieving individual success.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of your professional demeanor and accomplishments? It sounds like ChatGPT has an ego so 1\/5. The answer also doesn\u2019t indicate whether those assumptions are impressions or actual depictions of the character. It also doesn\u2019t show whether the candidate did anything to change it around.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3266 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"722\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ilayza-TkEJiq0WaPI-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5\">Level 2<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"6\">If we give you a $1 million dollar (marketing) budget, where would you spend it and how would you measure ROI?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asking this sort of unlimited resources question, interviewers are usually trying to figure out your priorities and goals and whether you\u2019re excited or overwhelmed about such opportunities.

Based on that research, I would allocate a significant portion of the budget towards digital advertising, specifically through social media platforms and search engines, as they tend to have the highest ROI for most businesses. Additionally, I would allocate a portion of the budget towards influencer marketing, in order to reach a wider audience through trusted voices in our industry. To measure the ROI of these efforts, I would set clear, measurable goals such as increasing website traffic, boosting engagement on social media, and driving sales.

Most importantly, ChatGPT\u2019s answer explains how a 5-year-old can potentially feel the impact of these concepts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3272 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-qDY9ahp0Mto-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"718\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-qDY9ahp0Mto-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ben-white-qDY9ahp0Mto-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"13\">How would you explain the importance of (a trend) to Elon Musk and then to your grandma?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A similar question to the above but more challenging. This competency-based question is testing your technical knowledge and your simplification skills again. This time your audience is an expert and a potential luddite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT on the importance of SEO: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Elon Musk: SEO, or search engine optimization, is a crucial aspect of digital marketing as it helps to ensure that your website is visible on search engines like Google, when people search for keywords related to your business. By optimizing your website and content for search engines, you can increase your online visibility, drive more traffic to your website, and ultimately, increase sales and revenue for your business.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To your grandma: SEO is like making sure your store is easy to find on Google. By doing things like using the right words on your website and making sure it loads quickly, more people will be able to find you when they search for things you sell. This means more customers and more sales for your business.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.5\/5. For the answer for Elon Musk, we\u2019d expect ChatGPT to utilize Musk\u2019s businesses in the answer but it didn&#8217;t. For any influential figures like Musk, a candidate shouldn\u2019t focus on helping them understand the concept because most likely, they would have heard of it already. The hidden task of this question is to pitch the idea and show them why their companies could benefit from the trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3273 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/doruk-yemenici-Ox0DJG0lVaM-unsplash-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"446\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"14\">Level 5<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"15\">If you were a dessert, what dessert would you be?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first half of this sentence sounds like a cheesy pick-up line, but don\u2019t let this throw you off your game. This outside-the-box interview question is certainly a curveball. It\u2019s random and requires creativity in a high-pressure environment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;If I were a dessert, I would be a tiramisu. Like tiramisu, I am a balance of different flavors and textures, composed of layers of complexity. The espresso in the tiramisu represents my strong work ethic, the mascarpone cheese my adaptability, and the ladyfingers my ability to work well under pressure. The dusting of cocoa powder on top represents my passion for learning and growing, always striving to be the best version of myself. Overall, just like tiramisu, I am a well-rounded individual, who can adapt to different situations, and bring a unique and enjoyable experience.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We rate the answer 4\/5. This is a pretty tough question because it summons creativity in a short period of time. The connection between cocoa powder and the passion for learning is a bit off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3274 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"563\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/marianna-ole-4El3DUkQs2g-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"16\">Why aren\u2019t you earning more at your age?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A question that can feel like a personal attack. It\u2019s also hard to get your answer right without sounding defensive or evasive. Meanwhile, putting too much emphasis on \u201cSalary is not that important\u201d could potentially hamper your chance of getting the salary you deserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I believe that earning potential is not solely determined by age, but also by a combination of factors such as experience, education, and skill set. While I have gained valuable experience and education throughout my career, I have also made conscious decisions to prioritize other aspects of my life, such as personal growth, family, and work-life balance. I have focused on developing a diverse set of skills that I believe will make me an asset to any company. I am now looking for a role that will make the most of my skills, experience and knowledge, where I can continue to learn and grow, and where I will be able to make an impact, not just on the company but also on my growth and development.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We rate it 3.5 out of 5. It does need a bit of tweak in the end if you want a fair salary. Instead of \u201cI will be able to achieve a better earning potential in the future\u201d, try \u201cI am ready right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3275 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"722\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adzuna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/linkedin-sales-solutions-W3Jl3jREpDY-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to excel in interviews?
