Taking an object to an interview

[Stickseas0n]

Okay, where do I start
I've just had a job interview confirmed and they've asked me to bring an object that best reflects my personality 😂
Never heard of this before
What does one bring? 🤔
Not strictly an AIBU but can I have some ideas please!

Good one I saw on a team day was a tin opener: reliable, does the job.

My god OP are you sure you want to work there?

I think I’d bring a refillable coffee cup and say that represents me as someone who brings good energy, is always on the move, and hates waste.

Might struggle to keep a straight face while saying it mind you.

There are some people that I socialise with outside of work because I want to, not because we've been forced to. Management pushing team building shite always reminds me of National Lampoon's Vacation: 'It's a quest. It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fuckin' fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles!'

Ha ha! Maybe just say, "No objects, I've just brought my whole self", and sit back with a smug half-smile. Maybe you could start a new corporate bullshit trend? Oh, wait...

🤣

So really you’re trying to say ‘show them your balls’ !!!!

If you are going to part of a team, a jigsaw piece to indicate that you value each individual as part of a whole and like to fit in and find your place.

I'd love to take a wheelbarrow full of manure and say "Since you're so fond of bullshit, here's some more" - and leave it there as I walked out.

It’s a seasonal retail job. They think they’re Google though. Most likely minimum wage too.

Love it!

My colleague insists, despite my pleading and eye rolling, on asking what flavour ice cream the candidate is best described as. I die a little every time.

If I had to, and understand a gun would need to be at my head, I'd take my Roomba.

Ooh, this thread is bringing out my truly evil side.

I'd be tempted to take one of my taxidermy pieces and say I'm used to being stuffed by the system. Which I appreciate is exceptionally immature for a woman of my age, but there we are.

I would be genuinely stumped by that question (or any of the car/biscuit/animal variants). I understand the theory of how it's supposed to operate but the concept just makes no sense to me.

Haha love it 😍😂

Take a bottle of 🍷 and a couple of glasses!! 🤣🤣

Take your kids!! 🤣🤣🤣

😂

I follow a guy on FB talking about bad bosses/toxic workplaces. One of his followers was asked at an interview if he was a biscuit what type would he be!!!!

As it's a Christmas job - take a copy of A Christmas Carol and witter on about peace and goodwill to all men, kindness, sharing the spirit of the season bla bla bla.
