Job interview trainers be like:
You’re supposed to do a throughout research on the company, and write a nice little story how much you’re a fan of the company, and how much you want to work there, and you spent all your life on training to be able to work at a company like that.
“Why did you apply here and not at the other company?”
“I applied there too and the interview is tomorrow.”“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
“In your company.”

I always had a hard time with this one, I just say successful lmao.
I don’t know the ins and outs of your company, what any kind of progression may look like, what opportunities will present themselves, etc, the question just always seemed odd.
I won’t rule out trying this.
I’m also eager to try: “What are your strengths?” “I am extremely humble.”
My humility knows no bounds.
It is a fucking stupid question. I’m supposed to invent some horse shit about why this is an awesome company that I specifically chose, and simply being truthful “you’re recruiting and I need a job” isn’t acceptable.
I just turn it around. “I have blah blah skills and interests. It looks like you need blah and offer blah opportunity.” It’s easy for me, though, because I have a specialty certification.
Why did you choose our company?
Bitch! I’m broke!
Yeah, what are you good at?
I bring 12 years of experience with system x and system y. I’m an engineer but I enjoy selling customers solutions, not just telling them what they need to buy.
“Thanks for your time, we’ll call you later.”

I get a cryptic ARG that lasts two years, which at the end just says “You’re rejected, lol”
Cant you see my fucking jacket? I am a doctor! Or maybe lab scientist…
“Claud tell me why I should by excited to join this company”
