Recession Series Part 1 – Bad Interview Answers
More people are out of work and there is increased competition for jobs. The right answer can lead to a new career. The wrong answer can lead you to your parent’s cat room, formerly known as your bedroom. My co-worker and I, during a productive lunch using a crayon and a napkin, wrote a list of wrong answers to one of the most common interview questions, “Where do you see yourself in five years?”
These are common answers you should avoid:
15. Visiting your grave.
14. In your daughter.
13. Stripping.
12. Off probation.
11. With six different baby mamas.
10. Angry dunk-clown at state fair.
9. As an alter boy.
4. Married to the Eiffel Tower.
3. Kathy Taylor’s Masseuse.
2. Professional colonic engineer.
1. On stable medications to stop Zod’s influence.
Let your competitor use these common answers. This job is yours.
I’m sorry but the cats outnumber you so I can’t let you have their room if you lose your job. But you can have the garage and the extra litter box. If you do your own scooping.
Sheesh. I mean, you’re not gonna get General Zod to take the medication himself, no way.
Is that what he told you?
