11 Of The Funniest Tweets About Job Interview Questions
During a job interview, you must be able to think on your feet to answer basic questions like “Tell me more about yourself” and “What are your strengths and weakness?” as well as curveballs such as “What animal are you?”
To do it right, you should share a curated version of the skills and experiences that make you the best candidate for the job. But what if you shared what was really on your mind? These funny people went there:
