Interviews are almost always ridiculous. In my experience, people I have interviewed with are usually more nervous than I am. Nonetheless, I hate them. Which is why I have been avoiding them and the great job search as much as I possibly can. But I like nice things and nice things require lots of nice money. So the search is about to get more intense and I need your help. What are the questions that they ask? And how can you be honest without sounding like an idiot? Example: "What is your biggest weakness?" They ask this 90% of the time. Why would I want to tell this to a potential employer? "Umm, I'm inherently lazy and I'd rather be spending my time sitting around and watching The Hills?" I'm pretty sure everyone says that they are a perfectionist and I'm pretty sure that the interviewer believes that about as much as I do. Do they want to hire a liar? So, I guess I'm looking for better answers. Ideas?

"My biggest weakness? How insecure others feel around me. I don't know if it's my butt, my wit, my intelligence, or my hot new jeans, but it's unfortunate how often people realize, I mean, think, that they have no reason to live when standing next to the wonder that is me. So, I'm working on that."
"My biggest weakness? The inability to belch on command."
"My biggest weakness? How hard it is for me not to tweak an enormous nose like yours when I see it."
I have no idea what to say to help your endevour of getting a job. I interviewed at least a hundred people in my manager days. I hated it. I didn't like the peppy overacheiver, and really didn't like the dumb as a doornail type. The somewhere in between's always were the good ones. I truly think that the only way you know if someone is good is if you work with them for a bit. Sometimes in minutes you could tell how they were.
But my biggest reason for commenting is to tell you about my love of the Hills. I adore elodie right now. She is probably going to get a show for doing what she did to stupid Heidi. And I HATE Spencer and his ugly facial hair. Gross is all I have to say. ANd lastly...poor Tom. "Just remember, if you hang in there long enough, good things can happen in this world. I mean, look at me."
Good luck Zach Attack!
biggest weakness? cupcakes...
I think work-a-holic is your biggest weekness. WINK. WINK.
Just find something that most people aren't good at that doesn't really matter for the job. I mean, if you never have to give presentations, say you hate speaking in front of people. If you have to work in a group say you don't work well by yourself and vice versa.
