You’ve no doubt heard your share of odd moments culled from job interviews with potential employees. And as the job market begins to loosen again, it’s fun to take a look at the strangest experiences people have had of late.

Head-scratching statements come from both sides of the fence. Some might probe for deeper meaning; others seem to be shallow and even silly.

Here are six questions people were asked during interviews:

• If the department had a potluck, what would you bring?
• If you were a professional wrestler, what would your name be?
• One person was asked what his grade point average was in college. Sitting in front of the interviewer was the man’s resume, which showed the candidate had a BS, MS, and Ph.D., and had spent more than two years as a post-doctoral scholar in a government research lab. And he asked, “What’s your GPA?”!
• Are you going to stay here, or are you just practicing for your next job? (Actually might be a fair question in a climate where some people are grabbing jobs until the one they really want comes along.)
• Which Winnie the Pooh character do you relate to most — and why?
• If we asked you to wear a bumblebee costume and walk around and hand out candy to employees, would you do it?

The questions were adapted from The Work Buzz, CareerBuilder.com’s blog for job seekers.
