My boss and I have been interviewing recently and the two things we found the candidates slipped up on or were not properly prepared for was a) What their weaknesses were and b) What their goals were.

Also, try not to digress on questions as we were incredibly frustrated with one girl as she just went on and on!

Good Luck though!

Was she fit?

[Luci]

One was one wasn't!

Did you shout "You're fired!" at them from behind the desk?

Haha not quite!

I like to answer the "what are your goals/ambitions?" or "where do you see yourself in 5 years time?" questions as follows:

I see myself doing a great job, realising I could get a higher profile and better paid positon with a rival firm and fucking off to them. In fact, I'm only gunning for this job so I have something snazzy to put down on my CV.

It works every time.

Perhaps even something along the lines of "I'm even prepared to miss Tuesday night football games. Such is my dedication to this job."

I remember years back i went for an interview....was asked what my favourite biscuit was!!

Think i mumbled back something on the lines of Malted Milk....Why she asked....cos i like to nibble around the cow on the biscuit i say.
Didn't get the job.

I went for an interview many years ago and the pretentious cunt who interviewed me said "what do you think of this as a question". I asked him to clarify the question and he refused to do so. I told him I thuoght it was a complete bollox question and unsurprisingly didn't get the job.

Well I didn't get that one so it's back to pushing the CV out to agency's and job websites, although I thought I had an excellent chance and came away thinking it was going to be offered to me.

It is so frustrating though, I want to be able to walk out of this place on the friday and have a job on the monday so I don't need to use my redundancy and keep it in the bank

I generally found the ones I thought I'd breezed, I didn't get an offer whereas the ones I thought I'd ballsed up I did. Except a couple I made a right dog's breakfast of.

Not going to happen. And worth taking the time to find a decent job, think of it as an investment in yourself.
