Employee revealed the “water test” that was unknowingly imposed on him during the interview and managed to pass it successfully.
An employee revealed how he was hired after successfully completing, without knowing it, the “water test” which his boss put on him in her time interview.
In an old post on Redditone young man reports asking recruiters to disclose any “special tests” that they have for the candidates – and one of them revealed a very specific “challenge» that most people would not be able to think of.
“I’m not a Hiring Manager, but I talked to mine after I was hired and he told me that one method they use when hiring, is that they put a jug of water with a cup next to you to see if you will drink during the interview“, he wrote.
“I was the only person who drank it water at a “normal pace” during the interview and this is seen as high confidence in the work environment.
Apparently you can tell a lot about a person by the way they refuse an offer of water or by drinking it too quickly. If you’re faced with a similar situation in an interview and are wondering what the ‘normal pace’ is, I just drank after answering each question.”
Another thing that can count on “water test” is if the person picks it up glass of. Responding to comments, one believed he may have unwittingly engaged in “water test» without realizing it.
“There was water on the table when I interviewed for my current job. Maybe that’s why I was hired when I was only half qualified“, some wrote in the comments.
