Originally posted by Elliegirl View PostWe may not be employees, but employers can't help but ask us permie style questions at interview. As a contractor I don't like to consider myself as having weaknesses. When I go to see a medical specialist I'm not expecting them to have any weaknesses. As a contractor I am giving you the benefit of my expertise and specialism built up over a period of time (I am currently working with a team lead who keeps trying to have career development conversations with me, but that's another story...). Sometimes I am asked about strengths but it's the weaknesses question that irritates me. How have others responded to this?
Me: "An intolerance for stupid interview questions".Comment

"Garlic and sunlight."
The techie in the interview chuckled. The HR weenie did not (don't know why she was in there really).And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment
