How have others responded to this?

"My knees."

I couldn't give a f**k what you think.

(Sorry for being late to the punchline, but thanks for setting it up......)

My pleasure. Regrettably punctuality is an essential criteria for this BAU service desk role, so we've given the role to PC instead.

I get very violent when I feel I am rejected. By the way, did you know your address can be found on-line?

Interviewer: What is your biggest week....
Me: I tend to interrupt people a lot.

[MrLoveBucket]

Biscuits.

"Garlic and sunlight."

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

I don't think honesty is a weakness.

We 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?

Interviewer: "What's your biggest weakness?"
Me: "An intolerance for stupid interview questions".

I am looking too young to the experience level I have, so something people get a bit of time to get used to me..!!

[northernladyuk]

I tell them that I lie in interviews.

Apparently the best answer is to say that you're a bit of a workaholic & you tend to throw yourself into things a bit too much.

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

Nope because I was way too young.
