Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 32402" data-attributes="member: 2672">apologies - I just read it as an SJT rather than an interview.Were you asked this in an interview or is it a question you have been told to prepare for?If it is an interview question, it’s a god awful interview question <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />If I got asked this, I’d probably be bold and turn it around and try to ask the interviewer/assessor questions like:For me to make a decision I’d need to weigh up the following: what time is the dinner expected to go on until, is the restaurant nearby, how important is it that I attend (sounds like I am only being asked as I am the only one in the office), can I go in what I am currently dressed in, will I be able to charge a taxi home, is there any compromise (eg: just going for pre dinner drinks)? I’d then need to consider external factors: by going am I going to be tired the rest of the weekend, what are my current energy levels like, am I going to let anyone else down by not doing what else I need to do between now and Tuesday (whether in work or in my personal life).TLDR: it’s a great opportunity but it isn’t a necessity. Other stuff, whether within work or outside of it might be more important and so although I wouldn’t want to miss out on an opportunity, I may have to for the greater good and so would need to consider all the variables not presented in this hypothetical situation.That’s why it’s a god awful question, especially for an interview.</blockquote>
