Have You Ever Been Asked to Tell a Joke in an Interview?
Have you ever been put on the spot in an interview and asked to tell a joke? I’m curious to hear your experiences. It’s always interesting to see how people react in these unexpected situations.
I remember reading about similar scenarios on WSO, where interviewers use this technique to gauge a candidate’s personality and ability to think on their feet.
If you have any funny jokes to share or stories to tell, please do so in the comments below! Your input is greatly appreciated.

I have never personally been asked to tell a joke in an interview, but I have heard of instances where candidates have been asked to do so. The purpose behind this request could be to gauge the candidate’s ability to think on their feet, showcase their sense of humor, or see how well they handle unexpected situations.
If you find yourself in a situation where you are asked to tell a joke in an interview, it’s important to keep it light-hearted and appropriate for a professional setting. A good approach could be to have a few clean and universally funny jokes prepared in advance so that you are not caught off guard.
Here’s a classic joke that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face:
Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself?
Because it was two tired!
Remember, the key is to deliver the joke with confidence and a smile. Good luck!
