I will let you know what I answered when I pick best answer!

Answer 1

This is a great interview question - I may have to use this one! :)

What I'd do (from a business standpoint - the rest of the evening is my own invisible business, thank you very much):

-sit in the lobby and listen to what employees, customers, and supplier had to say about the company
-sit in the office of my potential manager and see what type of boss s/he would be
-follow our top customers around to see what they think of doing business with our company - are we responsive, easy to deal with, quality problems, phones not answered, etc.?
-hang out in the break room or other employee gathering area - see what employees have to say about my potential department and the employees in it.
-listen to what other employees in my potential department have to say about the boss

Basically, gather as much info as possible about the company and the people I'd work with, from a variety of perspectives.

And THEN I'd go out and have some fun on the dance floor! ;)

Answer 2

I'd just laugh
My brain would have to decide if it was better to say something employment positive or to say "that is perhaps the largest opportunity imaginable short of immortality omniscience or the movie Groundhog day" I will plan an answer

far too much power consider flying to Washington DC then finding documents that modify public perception of the government then placing them on a few newseditors desks. a trivial use of power that affects less than a 20th the earths population however positively

Iodine deficiency disease likely affected the ability of 2 Billion earth people a third or the population during the 20th century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_deficiency I think that using my go anywhere link any people with any documents ability Persuading the few billion dollars of aid to cure this disease would be possible

I think scientific research on my nonvisible body would have greater value to humanity measurements that challenge the speed of light as well as the nature of radioactivity like seeing if samples of my hair rotating on a michelson Morley apparatus would define new solid yet vacuum or better media for light transmission If I put a radioactive tracer on my tounge then hid it with my lips would it be visible or not, if not then further tests could point to a form of radiation shielding or control that would utterly affect everything from greenhouse effect as I'd point the way to pleasant nuclear to jetcars If the radioactive material remained detectable then the nature of nonvisibility could be addressed with nuclear transmutation studies of things like fingernails subtler things like the rate of passage of neutrons which are actual matter might adjust the entire theoretic model of the physics that causes chemistry The definition of my surface would profoundly affect everything from religion to phenomenology that is if each atom of my tounge is nonvisible says different things about reality than if a definitional item like an open or not body cavity You could prove platonism if item descriptive boundaries had different physics

I'm a few hundred miles from CalTech so I'd likely go there to be characterized I'd think about, but might reject the idea of listing a few dozen commercializable scientific breakthroughs then seeing if a trusted person of Bill Gates was willing to present these opportunities to guide moneymaking that would guide his foundation to addressing Iodine diseases

If I were fortunate the government would skip confiscating my body.

Answer 3

If I were asked that question at a interview, my reply would be If I was invisible for a day, I would go around and help others get caught up and I would try to be the best worker even if I was or wasn't invisible.

Answer 4

wow that's a weird one. i'm pretty sure that i would just be honest and say that i don't have enuf money to do anything i'd want to do if i were invisible for a day...and, for example, if you tried to sneak onto an airplane or into a museum, wouldn't the security sensors know you were there? doesn't sound like too much fun to me.

Answer 5

First- what job is this for?
Second- I would say I would take this opportunity to take a tour of the new KC Star newspaper "factory", since you have to have at least a group of 8 and the only time you can do it is tuesday at 3pm, neither of which are easy to accomidate (don't have 8 people and busy on tues at 3)

Answer 6

I would sit in the interviewers office and see how he treated his employees all day long to see if I really wanted to work for him

Answer 7

i saw this question posted like last week, did you post it again? this sounds like an odd job interview question, but my response no matter to whom would be travel for free!

Answer 8

what?! what kinda job interview would ask that. I dont see why theyd ask unless your applying for the fantastic 4 or something.

Answer 9

I would love to go into all the closed door meetings of the Senate and House Committees, just to see the mechanics of how our politicians are working (or not) for us. It would be such an eye-opener. Of course, I would pass on this wealth of information to all of you!!

Answer 10

lol that sounds like a tizzlebacon (which means cool or awesome, made up by my cousin) job! umm, lets see. i don't think it would be safe for me to be invisible for 24 hours hmm? oh but....watev... 0_o
