10 Bad Responses to a Job Interview

Responses that are bound to destroy your chances of being hired.

The job interview is very important in getting hired. It is important to come prepared. You should learn about the company that you hope to work for in advance. You should be sharp, thoughtful, and honest. Unfortunately, not everyone that goes to an interview asks the right questions or comes up with good answers. Here are ten bad responses to questions asked by the interviewer:

  1. My biggest strength is my good looks and attractive physique. The chicks go crazy over me.
  2. My biggest weakness is my confidence. I don't have any at all. Oh please, please hire me. I can't stand rejection.
  3. So how soon would it take to get your job? I'd love to ask questions and be paid for it
  4. I really want to work for you because…Ha, ha, oh my God. I can't believe the tie that you're wearing. It's so funny. Where in the world did you get it?
  5. I understand that your company is expanding just like your waistline
  6. I can lift over 50 pounds. I feel great after my back surgery.
  7. Can I have a private office and a secretary? Also, I want gold plate benefits and a company car. Am I asking for too much?
  8. I'm sorry. I'm a little gassy. I think it was the beans that I had for lunch.
  9. My goal in life is to win the lottery and become rich. Since I doubt this is going to happen, my second goal is to be hired by you and to eek out an existence.
  10. Is that a picture of your wife? Wow! She sure is hot. You're one lucky guy.
