Yeah, but it wasn't technical. The point of the question was to assess my entrepreneurial IQ, or so I was told after. Generally if an unemployed person's applying for a job, their entrepreneurial IQ is low at the moment and they need money. Nevertheless: I was to acquire a desk to work at, which needed to have certain dimensions for under a certain dollar figure. The internet is down, the local office supply company doesn't have it, etc, etc, until I'm starting to think the interviewer is nuts. OK, I'll sit on the floor. His point was that you need to generate options, which isn't bad advice. But it was a dumb interview question.
