Ain't stock photos grand?
I’m not actively job hunting right now, but for some reason, job interviews were on my mind today. Mused for a while and came up with what I think are sure-fire responses for two of the classics. I plan to use them at the next opportunity (potential employers: SPOILER ALERT), and you can, too.
Q: “Where do you see yourself five years from now?”
A: “I’m not too good at math, but I’ll take a crack at this. Average of 2 miles per hour (walking or swimming), 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year, 5 years. That’s about 24,000 miles, so in five years I should be back around to here!”
Q: “What is your greatest weakness?”
A: “That’s like asking, ‘Which of your children do you love the most?’ But I think I can narrow it down to four.”
A slightly more serious (but insightful and funny) discussion of these questions can be found here.
