Is there a *right* way to answer that? Do I go with the ass-kissing "working here" or do I give an honest answer that won't get me hired?

It's just like "do you see this as a job or a career" when it's some stupid entry level position that no one could possibly take seriously as a career. :x

Or my favorite...

"What's your biggest flaw"

I mean at what point did a job interview become about being a good liar rather than being qualified?


mizliz: APPLY through Usajobs.gov. The only place where they did not ask me such menaingless, stupid questions! The govt. jobs are truly the onlyones that simply ask your skills on an interview.. they could care less about that other crap. I was very fortunate to get several offers in several govt. agencies. I have literally been on HUNDREDS of interviews in my lifetime.
