Was about to post something very similar to this but they did a better job so here it is:
5 Stupid Interview Questions (And How To Answer Them)
1. Why do you want this job?
This question fails so hard. A recruiter/hiring manager needs to gauge your level of interest in their position and organization, obviously . Initially, candidates can prove that by submitting a resume/application for the opening. Also, not that employers have time to read them, butcover letters should be very specific as to why you’d like to work for their company and particular position. Study your cover letter and use it to answer this question. Even without preparation, most people can BS a great answer on the spot.
2. What are your greatest strengths?
Quickly becoming extinct, most organizations have removed the question from their interview strategy. To answer, check the job description for essential skills listed. Use this list to create your own personal greatest strengths. No, I don’t condone lying but the company should be punished for its use of such a terrible question.
