Welcome to the world of ambiguity.
Job interviews are often filled with unnecessary questions and ambiguity. The problem is so common that I often dream about the opportunity to apply for a job I don't want just to see how it unfolds. Based on the top 50 interview questions available at Trader's Psychology (the undisputed leader of all things Job Interview), I have provided an example of how that interview might go down:
1. Tell me about yourself:
Do you want the whole thing or just bits and pieces. I have a very 'storied' past.
2. Why did you leave your last job?
I didn't. It left me.
3. What experience do you have in this field?
I have worked in it.
4. Do you consider yourself successful?
Yes.
5. What do co-workers say about you?
I've never asked them to talk about me.
6. What do you know about this organization?
That you have a job opening.
7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
I have read the news and I watch public television and listen to public radio.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Not at the moment, but I applied for tons of jobs earlier this week.
9. Why do you want to work for this organization?
I don't recall saying I did. Do you already know why you want me to work for you?
10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
No, if I did, I probably wouldn't have to sit through this BS.
