What Superpower Would You Like to Have?
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
In this video, I explain how to answer the tricky interview questions, “If you had a superpower, what superpower would you like to have?”
Job Hunting and The 10,000 Rule.
They’re not expecting a serious answer, although if you came up with something related to your job, great! They’re not expecting you to say, “I would like the superpower of analysis.“
You can be playful and say, “Hmm . .. Well, I yes I would like the superpower to fly so that that way I competed work faster!” They all chuckle at some point. It will take away some of the seriousness of the conversation.
I also want to remind you that there is usually a point where you can ask them questions. When that happens, I want to encourage you to ask them, “What superpower were you looking for?” Their answer might be very revealing to you about what their expectations are.

Once you think about it, it isn’t really bad. Yes, you can make a little
joke about the power, but the key is not to say the superpower that you
really desire. The main point is, superpower should be something that is
related to the job. My desired superpower is superhuman strength, but
obviously, if I were to apply for non-physical jobs, I should not say I
would like superhuman strength because if the job is non-physical, then
there’s absolutely no relation to the power and job itself.
+Jeff Lee Explained well. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
