What is the most bizarre case you have ever inspected?
The interviewer wants to hear what you consider bizarre and how you handled the case. When working on an unusual case, you need critical-thinking skills and need to work well under pressure. Describe the bizarre case and what resulted from it.
"The most bizarre case I have ever inspected was an apartment building that had a new sprinkler system put in. The building inspector called me to assist with the inspection of the system before the occupants could return. While inspecting one of the apartments, I heard a noise coming from behind a cabinet in the kitchen. It was strange because all of the occupants were out of the building. I opened the cupboard and saw a piece of wood that looked like it had been cut out of the back of the cabinet but wasn't placed in the hole correctly. I pulled the wood out and saw a face staring back at me. Apparently, there was a secret room behind the cupboard where a person was living. She had access from outside of the building and used the hole in the cupboard to enter the occupant's kitchen and eat their food."
