    How to Answer 10 Tough Interview Questions

    ...before i post some "ideal" answers to these questions, how will you answer these if applying for a job?

    No. 1: "Tell me about yourself."
    No. 2: "Why did you leave your last job?"
    No. 3: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
    No. 4: "What are your weaknesses?"
    No. 5: "Why were you laid off?"
    No. 6: "Tell me about the worst boss you ever had."
    No. 7: "How would others describe you?"
    No. 8: "What can you offer me that another person can't?"
    No. 9: "If you could choose any company to work for, where would you go?"
    No. 10: "Would you be willing to take a salary cut?"

    No. 1: "Tell me about yourself."
    You're gonna have to be more specific.

    No. 2: "Why did you leave your last job?"
    It was unworthy of me.

    No. 3: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
    Interviewing you.

    No. 4: "What are your weaknesses?"
    Too many to name.

    No. 5: "Why were you laid off?"
    I wasn't.

    No. 6: "Tell me about the worst boss you ever had."
    Haven't had anyone who's too bad, but I see that you have some potential though.

    No. 7: "How would others describe you?"
    Do I look like a psychic to you?

    No. 8: "What can you offer me that another person can't?"
    Before you ask me what I can offer you, ask yourself, what you can offer me.

    No. 9: "If you could choose any company to work for, where would you go?"
    I don't want to hurt your feelings.

    No. 10: "Would you be willing to take a salary cut?"
    Is the company in financial crisis? Why do you ask someone this question before you hire him?

    Well depends on how you're on that day.

    Interview is just a communication. If you feel like lieing, then lie about it. If you want that job, make the interviewer feel that you're the one.
