    “In your position.”

    Also, if you really want to bomb the interview, “How strict is your sexual harassment policy?”

      “In your position.”

      Honestly, thats a good answer. For people that report to me, I want them to eventually get my job. I don’t want to do my same job forever. That means they can advance and I can move up too.

        It’s not a very original answer, though. It’s the interview equivalent of asking “Does that mean it’s free?” when a cashier has trouble scanning a barcode.

        I’d at least want an interviewee to try to be original without defaulting to the “clever” answer they saw recommended online.

    These always make me laugh, even though there’s like maybe three versions and they’re always reposted. I’m dead serious. I always think “I gotta remember this so I can use it someday” and then I’ll see it again and realize I completely forgot about it.

    Also, whoever started the trend of using these types of stock photos was a genius. Especially the ones with the word bubbles.


    And that concludes today’s edition of thinking far too deeply about a meme format. Thank you everyone. Likensub.

    I’ve always said something along the lines of

    “Hopefully here, as I’d prefer to work hard for a company that values me, instead of moving around constantly.”

    Doesn’t have to be true, but companies love it when you come across as someone who will “stick it out” and seem uninterested in job hopping.

    Note, if that’s why they hire you, absolutely keep looking for better compensation because they’ll never hand it over.

    Embellish the fuck out of your resume with your current roles, and apply for jobs a level (or two depending on experience/abilities) above your current experience.
