Internship application's ‘absurd’ childhood story question goes viral: 'So annoying'
Hindustan TimesInternships often draw controversial opinions online as many accuse big companies of attempting to get unpaid labour from desperate freshers or students in return for experience certificates. A recent post by one such internship seeker has gone viral on social media after the user shared a screenshot of one of the questions on the application form. In the post, which has a whopping 13.6 million views, the picture shows a portion of a Google form with the question "Tell me a story from your childhood that has shaped your values". The post was met with massive outrage across X as users flooded the comments slamming the company for asking "absurd" and "bizarre" questions to confuse candidates. “Ever since I was a small kid I dreamed of creating shareholder value," quipped one user, while another said “I was born as a very young child”.
