Listen to the job requirements at the beginning of the interview and regurgitate a similar kind of your 'past experience'.

The candidate paused for 10 seconds before replying, "Sleeping with two women at the same time"
He got the jobComment

Don't forget to pack your chute !Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It could well be that you have a much higher (or lower) chance than that - just because there are three candidates, you may have a 0% chance of getting the role.Comment
