Unexpected question was to do a demo training session. The surprise was that this was supposed to be for a senior L&D posistion and delivery is not what Sr L&D people do on a daily basis. I could understand if I was interviewing for a Trainer position. The other challenge was that I was not given a topic, so it was clear what audience to prepare for. I was just assigned to do a hour training session in Japanese. The audience was difficult, one had a "go ahead and wow me" attitude, while 2 were polite participants. The other particpiant was obviously uninterested and brought his laptop to the demo session and was doing what could only assume was his own work. I was later told he was pinch hitting for another person who could not attend and did not understand Japanese.
