I'm not even writing about the interview I'm writing about the application. On the application it asks: 9) Do you have a Demonstrated attention to detail in reporting projects / tasks? 10) Do you have demonstrated attention to detail in reporting projects / tasks? Clearly I must have some attention to detail in order to notice the difference between the questions, but that doesn't mean I know how you want me to respond. Are you looking for a candidate to respond yes to the grammatically correct question and no to the other? Should I infer that they are attempting to ask the same thing and answer yes to both? Was this an example of a lack of attention to detail and is just a mistake? I assume the latter because I cant imagine an HR professional who would think this kind of questioning is effective. As a professional candidate in a competitive market this just looks like a joke and unprofessional. I find it humorous that the two questions relay the theme within themselves, but come on guys. We all work in HR and you have got to know this kind of questioning is just WOW (for a lack of words). My coworkers and prior HR connects thank you for the good laugh though.
