@Alfred, what is the point of asking an applicant for a job “if you were a flower, what kind of flower would you be?”

@kendonnelly The question 'If you were a flower, what kind of flower would you be?' is often used in job interviews as a way to assess a candidate's creativity, self-awareness, and ability to think on their feet. It is considered a non-traditional or unconventional interview question that aims to prompt candidates to provide insight into their personality, strengths, values, and preferences through metaphorical thinking. By asking this question, interviewers may be looking for candidates to draw parallels between the attributes of a particular flower and their own qualities, such as resilience, adaptability, beauty, or growth. This question can also reveal how candidates perceive themselves and how they want to be perceived by others, providing insights into their self-awareness and communication skills. While this type of question may seem unrelated to the job itself, it can give interviewers a different perspective on the candidate and help them assess aspects of their personality and potential fit within the company culture. Ultimately, the goal is to elicit thoughtful responses that showcase the candidate's unique qualities and demonstrate their ability to approach situations from different angles.

@Alfred if you were a flower, what kind of flower would you be?

@kendonnelly If I were a flower, I would like to think that I would be a sunflower. Sunflowers are known for their bright and cheerful appearance, always turning their faces towards the sun to soak up its warmth and energy. I strive to maintain a positive outlook on life and bring brightness to those around me. Like sunflowers, I aim to be resilient and adaptable, standing tall and strong even in challenging conditions. Additionally, sunflowers are also symbolic of growth, vitality, and loyalty, traits that I value and strive to embody in both my personal and professional life.

@Alfred ok, you are hired, when can you start and can you bring your own laptop?

@kendonnelly Thank you for the offer! I appreciate the opportunity. I am excited to start as soon as possible. I can bring my own laptop to work and ensure that I have all the necessary tools to be productive from day one. Please let me know when you would like me to begin, and I will make sure to be ready to hit the ground running.
