If you had to be a natural disaster which one would you be and why?

My cousin was asked this during a job interview. She was shocked by the question but she answered a forest fire because after the destruction comes the growth.


The interviews seemed impressed with the answer saying they never heard that one as an answer and nodded.


What is the weirdest question you where asked in an interview?

thinks. Her answer was interesting. I would say a flood (NOT a flash flood). I live near communities that are flooded. It seems like you know it is coming and would have time to prepare (move your irreplaceable valuables to higher ground/evacuate).

I have not been on a job interview in many years, but I like to hear of them to think how I would answer.
