Tough Interview Questions: How Would You Explain DNA to an 8-Year-Old? | JobSearchTV.com
This question may seem dumb but serves a purpose.
Answering Behavioral Interview Questions The Right Way
Being asked, “How would you explain DNA to an eight year old,” may seem like a stupid question but, in point of fact, it represents how you would take a seemingly complex idea and simplify it for a particular type of person in your office. And may be the non- technical user, in your life, in your ability to communicate from the stage or from a presentation. It really does represent something.
So the way to answer this question is to take a deep breath and pause. So, for example, I might do {hmm}, I’d tell them that DNA is like Legos, like four different colored Legos. Individually, they can’t do much. But when you build them in a certain order, you can make different things like a house or a tree or little Lego people, you know, and it’s the same in your body. Four different DNA molecules fit together to create the unique you.
Perfect answer isn’t that? Taking a seemingly complex idea, simplifying, and making it perfectly understandable? That’s what you need to do with that question.
