Him: Describe your general attitude
Me: I tell what he wants to hear
Him: Describe your attitude on 1/9/12
Me: WTF?

Turns out he was a Bama grad.

I interviewed at a large Texas university for a position. It was three days. Last day I was interviewed by my prospective direct reports. One guy asked me what my sign was. I said Scorpio. He paused for a few seconds and said, "That will work." I I thought you will the first person I fire. I turned down the offer.

I. Absolutely. LOVE. The question about, "What's your biggest weakness?"

I love even more the people in HR or Upper Managemenet who think that's some crazy difficult question to navigate.

My answer: "My biggest weakness is that at times I tend to hold people to the same standards I hold myself to...and that's usually not very fair."

Q: What's your biggest weakness?

A: Honesty

Questioner: Honesty? I don't think honesty is a weakness.

Response: I don't give a frick what you think.

Interviewer circa 1991: "Are you a homosexual?"

Me: "Well now that depends...are you?"

I got the job.

I worked in the produce department of a grocery store in high school and my first two years of college.

Seeing this on my resume, the interviewer asked me, "If you were a piece of produce, what would you be?"

I had no idea how to answer so I pulled some nonsense out of my arse.
