    "Wait, this is a job?  An actual job?  I thought I applied for your company to give me lots of money with no effort required on my part!  I am SO out of here . . . "

  • This insipid question is a favorite of bored managers doing interviews. The question is to hear how creatively the applicant can lie. The truthful answer is, "I need a job."  The proper answer is something like, "I shop here often and think it would be an exciting, fun place to work!"

    Because I'm better than the dropkicks you have working for you now. I'll make supervisor in a month, I know more than he does.
