Just to spice up your evening a little bit!

Searching for jobs means sitting through a lot of interviews.


Q1: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Do you know where your company will be in five years? Sorry, I didn’t know that you were looking to hire an astrologer.

Q2. Describe yourself in three words.
Why do you want a three-word description? If I say I am bold, smart and beautiful, will you be happy with that? Which three words do you want to hear–hard working, motivated and intelligent? You’ve gone through my resume, but still insist on asking me to describe myself. Just read the document carefully and you might find your answer there.

Q3. Are you ready to work overtime?
If you advertised your timings to be 9-5, don’t suddenly change your mind. If I say yes, it wouldn’t make any sense, and if I say no, I will be considered lazy. Are you ready to pay me for overtime?

Q4. What is your biggest weakness/worst quality?
Oh my God! Shall I really tell you my biggest weakness? Ice cream is my biggest weakness. Mobilink asked my brother the same question, after assuring him they wouldn’t share the information with anybody else. Are you guys making a database of candidates’ weaknesses? What if something I consider a strength looks like a weakness to someone else? If I say I’m a workaholic, it’s strength to me, but a weakness to others. Do people really discuss their weaknesses in public?

Q5. Can you manage to work in teams and groups?
My resume states very clearly that my skills include leadership ability, conflict resolution and team management skills. Didn’t you read it? Secondly, what if I am asked to work with a group of lazy dudes who don’t even bother to work much? It depends on the team. Anyway, were politicians ever asked about their leadership skills?

Q6. What are your salary expectations?
I applied for this job after reading about the salary you advertised. Are you trying to avoid paying that amount by asking me that? Anyway, my salary expectation is Rs200,000. Thank you so much for caring about me.

Q7. Do you mind if I call your previous employers?
Either I voluntarily left my job, or I got fired. Neither situation could have made my employers happy. Which ex-boss is going to speak highly of me?

Q8. What did you do in your last job?
I was hired as a plumber by the previous company after I finished my MBA.

Q9. Why shall we hire you?
So that I can steal your office equipment and break the office furniture.

Q10. Are you married, divorced, separated, or single?
This question annoys most female candidates. I’ve heard friends complaining about it too. Why are you interested in knowing my marital status? I am not a contestant for Miss World, for which I’d need to be single.

Q11. Who are you living with these days?
In Pakistan, where girls live with their families, this question doesn’t make any sense. I am living with my pets.

Q12. What do your co-workers say about you?
Some people suggested that I should dye my hair. Others said that I should use a glossy lipstick with thick eye liner.

Q13. What are your expectations from this job?
That I shouldn’t have to come to work on time. I also expect diet drinks and low calorie food for lunch. Also, I want an AC in my own room.

Q14. Why do you want to work for us?
I want it because I have to buy new clothes and cell phone.

Q15. Why are you leaving your current job?
Because I love giving job interviews.

Job interviews can indeed be an exciting experience, especially when you're well-prepared. Recently, I had a crucial interview for my dream job, and I wanted to make a lasting impression. While researching tips online, I came across PrintSafari, a printing service that specializes in professional materials. They have an impressive collection of customizable folders that can be used to organize and present documents during interviews. The https://www.printsafari.com/us_en/catalogs website featured their elegant Print Folders, and I knew this would be a great addition to my interview arsenal. Thanks to their high-quality print folder, I aced the interview, leaving a memorable impression on the hiring team.
