    “Why do you want this job/to work here?” “I’m just looking for something interesting to do for a while, get out of the house a bit. This sounds interesting enough.”

    They hear: I don’t need a job, I may not need money, I may already have a job, I’m not picky about where I work so I’m probably not planning to stay, I’m likely to be weird or high maintenance, I’m very likely to move on quickly if I’m no longer entertained, and most importantly, I don’t need this specific job so I won’t take abuse of any sort.

    This does work to land food service jobs, though, because they don’t really care. They gain and lose staff so frequently that if you just aren’t a complete shitshow you’ll get the job.

      The only thing that changed is your perception, but thats still wrong.

      People used to care about stuff like that, but a big deal wasnt even made of it.

      But today? Youre likely to actually get hurt by some retard who doesn’t know shit or how to mind their own business.

      The only reason it is such a big deal today is because of the hyper offended culture that has been born out of the political correctness culture

    I’d pull a Hal Incandeza and just sit there. When they ask my why I’m not speaking, I’ll just start screeching, making weird faces, and writhing around.

    I had to read that title a few times. As it potentially could be its own answer: offer a blowjob

    …I know, I’ll see myself out now…

    I went to an interview for a company in the west coast and I was in central time. the recruiter told me that they had core hours and I’d have some flexibility. one of the first questions was whether I was willing to work Pacific time, which I wasn’t, especially since it wasn’t the best paying job in the world. That interview lasted about 30 seconds.

    In the movie Trainspotting, Spud took a bunch of speed right before his job interview to mess up any chances he had of getting hired.

    So… that.

      Can’t remember if it’s in the movie too, but in the book, the speed starts to make him paranoid that he’s doing too well and might get the job 😁
