well, i wont describe myself but... heres what i was asked at a job interview once recently "are you over 18?"
when can you start? when I hear that I decline...it means they are having a hard time finding applicants.

I had an interview earlier in the summer and his question was, tell me the last thing in your life that you were the best at. I thought that was a pretty akward and pointless question.
3 words: I AM AWAKE Now i probably wouldn't go saying that at no job interviews. I'd tell them how marketable and diverse my skills are, even though they really aren't. And I would feign interest in dedicated customer service and product promotion. BS like any test essay that I've ever written actually, i've not really been to job interviews... they just kind of hired me or did not...
another one what's a quality you wish to improve about yourself'. I was asked this at the interview for my current job and I was completley honest-'well I really need to develop more patience with kids', so they gave me a job higher up where I didn't have to work with the kids often...although now I never get anything done because I always want to play with the kids.
This wasn't at a job interview, it was in a business meeting with 20 people...this lady says "nice to meet you, were you at that riot the other night down at Ohio State, the one where they were burning cars?" me: "uhhh. no, I'm 30!!"
oh and I am always asked how onld I am it is usually the first question...and I know that me looking younger than I am has caused be to not be hired several times.
Columbus, grew up here...left for 10 years..been back about 2 1/2....getting to be time to go again! i am looking into getting an Irish passport, my grandma set it up so we could....
3 words eh... analytical, creative and easygoing i haven't been to any job interviews yet, the first job i had i was hired because i was best friends with the boss' daughter and she loved me, and the other jobs i had i've gotten them because i'm a good dancer, and friendly... those didn't really require an interview.
At an interview for a job in a shoe-store: "If you were a shoe, what type of shoe would you be?" A bit lame if you ask me.
I'd be a penny loafer..... anyways, yeah, I just had to do an interview today as a matter of fact. the questions seemed pretty normal, but I was really nervous, and couldnt answer them well. I think one of the questions was "describe a situation where you had to cover up for a fellow coworker on a mistake they made, and what did you do?"
when i joined the army donkey years back i had my initial interview and had to fill out the psych assesment. 3 questions i had to tick and flick i left. at the end they asked me why i did not tick them and i said. well their stupid questions. one was if you got told to jump off a cliff would you would you prefer to live in the woods or a city do you love your mother more then your father they asked me to explain why i thought they were stupid and i said. well it depends if the cliff was like a water fall and i was jumping in to swim. but if it was a cliff and someone told me to jump and i knew i could die i would say no. if someone had a gun to my head and told me to jump i would still run away and get shot to death before i would by getting my bones crumpled and my head split over. i said those questions were stupid because there are so many things i would have to consider like the above. except for my family. i told them i loved them the same and them trying to make soemone choose who they love the most is crazy as u can love ur parents the same but love certain unique things about them also. or love them and dislike certain things about them also.. they just laughed and said yeah they are stupid questions
me summed up in 3 words "REALLY FUCKING COOL"hahahahasomeone asked me if I had kids in an interview once, it is illegal to ask that where I live, they wanted to know if family wold interfere with work, why wold you apply for a job you couldnt do???????????
