| Tip #1: How to survive common interview questions. |
|
Question: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Proper answer: How the fuck should I know? What kind of question is that? FUCK OFF!
I figured that during these difficult times, helpful hints such as this might be of some benefit.
You're welcome.

| 3. That's got to be one of the dumbest questions in the world |
|
"How the fuck should I know" is exactly right. When you're applying to be a cashier at the local bookstore, the interviewer really has no business asking a question like that, because what possible answer could you give that wouldn't make you look like an asshole or a liar?
You're either going to say "as far as possible away from this shithole of a job" or "I'm looking for a position in upper management and/or corporate administration." The first answer, though honest, will end the interview. And the second answer, though also possibly honest, won't fool anyone.
It's a bullshit tactic with no purpose other than to rattle the victim of the interview.

| 5. This is the one that made me sick:What would you do to get this job? |
|
Actually I wasn't personally asked this question, it was a group interview for a cage cashier job at a casino making $8.00/hr midnights. Well anyway, the kid answers "I'd get up and do a little dance if you wanted me to." Of course they did, and he did. Pathetic! Needless to say, I wasn't kiss-ass enough so I didn't get the job(Again, thankfully).

Sounds like you were very lucky not to get that job.
