Job Interviews: the Top 10 Worst Answers to the Top 10 Worst Questions
Are you looking for a job? Interview is the mos important phase when looking for a job, it could either make you or break you.
It’s hard to get a job and it’s no fun, especially in the current economy. Scores of people queue for one job vacancy available. Face-to-face interviews make or break you. Here’s a list of worst questions and the worst answers.
What do you think this job involves?
Answer: “I don’t know. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to tell me?”
Do you perform better alone or as a team player?
Answer: “I’m a loner, and I do my best work if people just leave me alone.”
What did you dislike most about your last job?
Answer: “I don’t like my boss or the people I worked with, and they expect too much work for too little pay.”
What problems did you solved in your last job?
Answer: “I just do my job and let my boss worry about solving the problems.”
What kind of supervisor do you prefer?
Answer: “I can’t stand someone breathing down my neck and telling me what to do.”
What is your greatest weakness?
Answer: “Well, I can’t think of much, but I have been absent a lot because of personal problems. Maybe I ought to work on that.”
What occupies your time off the job?
Answer: “You know, I’m lucky to make it to work after the weekend because I’m so involved with extracurricular activities. I have strong religious and political ties, my extended family depends heavily on me, and I need an employer who understands my outside obligations.”
How would you get ahead of this organization?
Answer: “I’d like to sit behind your desk. When do plan to retire?”
How long would you commit to this job?
Answer: “I’m not comfortable giving commitments. To tell the truth, I figure everybody’s always looking, and you never know when something better might come along.”
What are your salary requirements?
Answer: “Whatever you think is fair.”
With these kinds of answers you gave, I’m pretty sure that you can never land on a job. Honesty isn’t always the best policy (source: woman today).

Why bother going to an interview? That was very funny but many, many people do not prepare themselves well and it sometimes goes just like that.
Funny! Would someone really go to a job interview and give those type of answers?? There are going to be some disappointments along the way until they get it right =)
Good stuff. Funny article too, but I seriously doubt I would say the last one, the others - maybe ;=0
