The techie in the interview chuckled. The HR weenie did not (don't know why she was in there really).

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".

That bit of advice came from the Executive Job Club circa 1993. Anyone ever go to one of those?
