    I’ve been asked #1, #2, #7 and #10 countless times. I haven’t been on an interview where at least one of those didn’t pop.

    I especially hate #1, “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

    What do they expect me to say? Obviously not the truth, and I hate lying.

    I was asked this 2 weeks ago in an interview. For real. “You are in a room with the Prince of Darkness, a spoon and an ice cube – what do you do?”

  4. headhunter says:

    Question 6: “If I spent my time watching Lost, would you really want me working around here?”

    But seriously, question #10 is not such a bad question. The answer can give some insight into how well the candidate has researched the company and also whether he/she is a good fit for the direction the company is going.
