Google is known for unusual interview questions. Explain what advantages might these have over more traditional questions about education and experience?

It is Eliza’s first year at a company. The dress code says that women need to wear closed-toed shoes. However, it is summer and Eliza has noticed that many women, even some who are supervisors, are coming in wearing sandals. She would like to wear sandals too. What should she do?
Jonas and Jameela work at the same company but in completely different departments. Their company has a policy that employees can date as long as neither in the relationship is in a supervisor position over the other. Jameela has been asked to manage a project and just found out that Jonas will be on the team that she is managing. What is the ethical thing to do in this circumstance?
Imagine that you were tasked with writing the promotions section of an employee handbook. What factors would you use to determine eligibility? How would you make sure that the process was fair?
Imagine that you have been assigned to work with a group of people that you have not met. The leader asks that everyone share their strengths and weaknesses with the group so that she can consider how to delegate tasks. What would you say about yourself and why? How might these strength and weaknesses shape your role in the group?

Answer:

1. those advantages could be very dangerous. someone could've hacked the system or anything & they're trying to get your information.

2. eliza should check in with her manager/boss and ask if it's ok for her to wear sandals.. just to be on the safe side.

3. jameela and jonas need to set some standards in their "relationship" because what they have going on can cause both of their jobs.

4. i would make sure that the promotions are fair, and not giving people promotions because i know them or anything, i'm gonna make sure that they've worked hard for it.

5. by telling these people my strengths & my weakness would cause less problems. there could be some things that i like and they don't like and we can make sure to never reach that point, because it's gonna cause a lot of trouble. explaining yourself or telling more about yourself could really help others get you.. that way you don't have to be rude to people when they say something you don't like or do something you don't like.

Step-by-step explanation:

i hope this helped you!
