  • Questions we dread during interviews

    Dear JobsBlogThis week’s question, “What is the one interview question you hope you don’t have to answer?”, produced some very interesting responses, from the humorous, to the expected, to questions that are illegal to ask in the United States. Here’s our take on some of the themes shared in your comments:

    Simone got us laughing when she posted: “Is that toilet paper on your shoe?” Yeah, wouldn’t be too awesome to walk into an interview dragging along some TP from your last bathroom break. Though maybe it could be an icebreaker to get both you and the interviewer cracking up about something silly.

    We hear you on the “What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?” questions. We’ve hopefully helped set you on the right track with our post on this topic, but still this isn’t an easy set of questions to answer.
