How To Deal With 7 Horrible Interview Questions That Are Designed To Trip You Up

I am totally convinced that Dante went ahead and forgot to include the circle of Hell reserved for perpetual job interviews.

And with the job market across multiple industries growing more saturated by the second, interviewers are getting crafty (read: cruel) when it comes to screening applicants.

Because so much weeding out has to happen (or because this world is a spinning ball of pain), they often ask questions that function as professional traps. Here’s how you can deal with the worst ones in the bunch.

1. “What’s your greatest weakness?”

I want to find the hellhound who decided that this question was a great idea and make them rue the day they were born. Sadly, I can’t. Neither can you. All you can do is deal with the fact that this is now considered par for the course. Instead of sounding like an egomaniac and saying that you’re a perfectionist like every other miscreant on Earth, think of one example of when you screwed up at work, explain what happened, and then quickly elaborate on how you remedied the problem.

Oh, and don’t use a personal downfall as a scapegoat. According to Kathryn Dill of Forbes, “Odds are that your interviewer is not interested in the fact that you never make your bed.” And why would they be? “What they’re really looking for,” Dill continues, “are your weaknesses in the workplace and how you’ve overcome them.”

2. “Why should I hire you for this position?”

You know how you’re supposed to focus on what you can do for the company and not the other way around in cover letters? The same logic applies here. Sure, that dream job is really going to beef up your resume, but employers don’t care about your LinkedIn headline. They care about what they’re going to get from you.

The short answer? Do your homework. Focus on key action words in the job listing. How can you perform those actions better than anyone else, given your experience? Have real-world examples ready. Did you totally revamp your company’s editorial schedule? Use that to illustrate your multitasking skills. Did you have a hand in projects outside your wheelhouse? That’s great if your potential employer is looking for someone who’s willing to work across departments. Don’t be like, “You should hire me because I love [something required of you for that job].” No one cares.

3. “Can you explain these gaps in your work history?”

Listen. People get laid off. People fall on hard times and have to resign. You don’t have to fire back with a defensive answer, because it’s a valid (if not tricky) question. Let the interviewer know that you’ve been proactive between jobs. Unemployment is rough, so it shows initiative if you can say that you were helping a sick loved one, freelancing, or volunteering in the meantime. You know what they say about idle hands and all that. Keep yours busy and then use that to your advantage when this question rolls around.

4. “If you could change one thing about your last job, what would it be?”

iStock

Repeat after me: Don’t burn bridges. Trash talking former employers or coworkers is never a good look. Why would someone want to hire you if you feel totally comfortable telling competitors that everything was awful and your boss was the worst? Instead of griping about people, pick something neutral.

In that vein, you should also probably choose something that you really couldn’t have changed even if you wanted to, since the next logical question would be, “Well, why didn’t you do something about it?” If you work in a STEM-related field, for example, you could air your grievances about how a new technological development would’ve made your life so much easier if it had been around back then. Saying the adult equivalent of “I’m a pissy baby and my boss was a meanie” isn’t going to do you any favors.

5. “Can you tell me more about yourself?”

iStock

See that guy’s face in the photo above? That’s what your interviewer will look like when you start telling them about how much you love Yeats and toy poodles. This isn’t your Match.com profile. They don’t care about your Holden-esque coming-of-age story. According to Forbes, you should stick to four topics: early years, education, employment history, and recent career experience. This will give them a well-rounded sense of who you are as a professional, and if you don’t come across as someone who stomps down every person in your path, they’ll get a good idea of who you are as a human being, too.

6. “What would someone who doesn’t like you have to say about you?”

iStock

Your old roommate might equate you to a pile of trash on fire. Don’t say that. Point out something about yourself that could be seen as negative if viewed through the wrong eyes. Are you picky? Good. That means you won’t let a terrible, inaccurate blog post hit their company’s front page. Impatient? You live for deadlines. See what I did there?

7. “Has a decision or idea you were passionate about ever been shut down by a supervisor? How did you handle it?”

iStock

Basically, the interviewer wants to know that you won’t take a lighter to their hair if they ever do that to you. When you lay your story down, present it in a way that highlights the fact that you’re humble and can take direction.

Employers are sometimes out to get us, folks. That’s why we need to do our best to dance through their professional minefields like the damn ballerinas we are.

22 Companies That Should Really Consider Getting New Names

Choosing a name for your new business can be a bit of a daunting task.

The pressure of picking the right name can mean the difference between attracting a loyal clientele or becoming the laughing stock of your town. When brainstorming business names, your company may want to get creative and rely on puns or other plays on words to attract customers to your brand, and while this can be a good idea in theory, it often falls short in practice.

Just ask these 22 business owners.

When I’m having a really bad day, one where absolutely everything goes wrong, there’s not much that can make me feel better.

It’s always important to remember, though, that someone out there has definitely got it worse than I do because I’m fed, clothed, and safe. But it’s also important to know that some people out there are having a day just as bad or slightly worse than me. That’s where the internet comes in, showing me just how ridiculous things can get out there…

All parents are guilty of a “fail” moment every now and then. However, no child has ever been harmed by their parent forgetting to pick up milk or being too tired to find them matching socks in the morning.

It turns out that some parenting habits we’re guilty of are a lot worse than others. Children are sponges. They don’t just take in the lessons we teach them on purpose, like how to brush their teeth or sing the ABCs. They also learn subtle behaviors we carry out each day without even realizing it.

The five parenting habits on this list can negatively impact your kid’s moral development and future, as well as your relationship with other adults. Take a look.

1. Holding back discipline.

You probably know at least one parent who refuses to discipline their child. Contrary to what they believe, kids actually thrive on discipline and structure.

In your house, you’re the boss, and that needs to be clear to any children or parents who come through the door. Things like hitting, swearing, and bullying are not to be tolerated — and that goes for you as well. There are plenty of non-violent ways to discipline without passing negative behaviors onto your child.

2. Bragging on social media.

iStock

A survey recently found that the average parents shares nearly 1,000 photos of their child before they turn five. And that doesn’t even count written posts and other updates.

We all want to share our children’s accomplishments and milestones, but we should take care not to overshare. Parents today are creating a digital footprint for their kids, all without their consent. Remember, one day little Johnny will be a 30-year-old man with a career, and he might not want his peers to know the details of the first time he went “doo-doo in the big-boy potty.”

What’s more, the constant bragging can be a major turn-off to other parents in your network. If you do post updates about your child, make sure that it’s not in a way that compares them to others.

3. Gossiping.

googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.defineSlot(‘/37886402/VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’, [300, 250], ‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF_5806dca029f9c’).addService(googletag.pubads()) googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_MB”, “VN_”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_SC”, “VN_ORGN”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_TS”, “TS_D”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_AT”, “VN_ORGN_PG_D_REV_1.0_ASYNC_DEFAULT”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_CC”, “VN_ORGN_D_UNK_118078_A”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_PG”, “1”); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF_5806dca029f9c’); );

You better believe that if your kids hear you gossiping, they will follow suit.

No one want to raise a mean girl (or boy), but the propensity for gossip starts at home. It can be tempting to gossip at play dates, especially for parents who’ve been craving contact with other grownups. However, there’s a lot more to talk about than other parents or you kid’s friends.

Remember the mantra: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Instead of gossip, turn to positive subjects such as books, film, or travel. You might be surprised by how much you have to say!

4. Excluding others.

iStock

You will meet many parents with different values than you, but excluding them from social circles is a form of bullying.

It might be hard to see eye-to-eye with some parents, but one thing we all have in common is love for our kids. By including others and encouraging your child to do the same, you’ll foster an aversion to the dreaded formation of “cliques.”

5. Being a bad sport.

iStock

We’re all familiar with the image of an angry parent yelling at a coach during a Little League game, but that’s not the only way you can teach your child to be a bad sport.

Parents are often guilty of only cheering for their kids, rather than the whole team. Remember to hoot and holler for everyone, and if someone on the other team has an amazing play, it’s okay to express enthusiasm for that, too! If you’re confronted with a “bad sport parent,” move seats. It’s better to address your concerns after they’ve cooled down, rather than in the heat of the moment.

They Texted The Wrong Number At The Hospital, But They Got The Most Epic Response

There’s nothing more annoying than texting the wrong number. The exchange that takes place afterward is usually awkward for both parties involved, and nothing makes people feel quite as dumb as sharing big news with total strangers.

When Dennis Williams received a text from someone he didn’t know that read, “We are at the hospital. Having a baby today,” he responded in the best way possible.

Instead of ignoring the text, Williams responded.

(function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

The family was surprised that the Williams brothers showed up (even after they caught their mistake)…but they were so touched! Lindsey, Mark, and newborn Knox were happy to meet the well-wishers on the special day. They posted about the experience online, saying, “What a blessing these two guys were to our family. They were so sweet and kind to do this! You 2 are great guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn’t know! If we all only had this kind of a heart.”

Accidentally texting the wrong number is usually embarrassing, but this was just awesome.

15 Times Live News Broadcasts Turned Into Total Disasters

You really have to hand it to news anchors and reporters.

Every single day, they go out there and brave the elements on live television for our viewing pleasure, and every single day, they do it with the knowledge that things could go south in a matter of seconds. Over the course of any given work week, they could be faced with horrid weather, interviewees with questionable ethics, animals, and sticky (sometimes criminal) situations.

It only makes sense that things don’t always go so well for people who make their livings in front of cameras that don’t stop running. Here are a few unlucky newscasters who have felt live TV’s wrath.

1. Here we have some definitive proof that winter is, in fact, the worst.

2. It was going so well, until it wasn’t.

3. I sincerely hope that Mr. Janus had a great birthday.

4. In the battle of man versus weather, weather wins (every time).

YouTube / Amazinglife 247

5. I will never not laugh at this. Never.

6. This poor guy had a terrible day at the office.

YouTube / KTVU

7. Good call, ref.

YouTube / Epic News

8. Nothing like a handsy monkey to make you question that journalism degree.

9. And then we have this absolute classic.

10. That’s not nice.

11. These kids have no respect. None.

12. Another day, another threat against a journalist’s life.

13. Close.

14. He’s doing the most and accomplishing so very little.

15. And last but not least, we have these idiots who don’t know how Ireland works.

I try to do my part and watch the news every night, and I’m a little peeved that I’ve never witnessed any of this gloriousness in real time.

Stay gold, journalists. Stay gold.
