Because my gf says so

It must have been too long since I last sat in an interview as a candidate; I am shocked at how much things have changed since.

Back then, it is textbook knowledge that we MUST at least have intelligent-sounding answers to frequently asked questions such as, "Why are you leaving your current job?", "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?" and "What are your friggin' strength and weaknesses?"

Nowadays, the kids are just ROLLING with it......

Frou the Interviewer: Tell me, why are you interested in us?
Candidate: To be honest, my girlfriend was the one who asked me to apply.
Frou: Your girlfriend????
Candidate: Yes, I have been sitting on it but she kept nagging and nagging so I applied.
Frou: Pray tell, why is your girlfriend so interested in us?
Candidate: Oh, because she said that she got a very good feeling about it.
Frou: I see. So, was she the one who nagged you about your last job as well?
Candidate: Yes she did!
Frou: And she had the same "good feeling" then?
Candidate: Yes! Yes!
Frou: What a clairvoyant......

Frou: So, what is your expected salary?
Candidate: What do you mean?
Frou: I mean, how much do you think we should pay you.
Candidate: ...........
Frou: Let me help you out. Do you think we should pay you what you are previously earning?
Candidate: I don't know. Maybe more?
Frou: Why more? How much more?
Candidate: Er.... do you mind if I go back and ask my girlfriend?
Frou: No, I don't mind at all. In fact, tell her she is hired.

Tip: No matter how casual you think the interview is going, DO NOT let your guards down. You're falling for the interviewer's trick!
