Why do HR people ask stupid questions like the following ones? Everytime I get those questions, I have imaginary answers like the ones right after each question.

Why do you want to work here?

- Obviously, because I need the money to survive. I'm not here because I love working for you and having to endure your stress. I'm not that type of a kinky person.

Are you flexible?

- Why? Do you want to annoy me when I'm sleeping in the middle of the night because of a sudden deadline or because a god damn employee didn't show up?

Do you see yourself as a perfect fit for both developer and tech support roles?

- Read my fucking resume, moron. I applied for a developer role. Nothing else.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

- As if you would care. It's none of your business, but since we are at it. I see myself as your manager in 5 years. Hope that you like that thought.

We didn't bother reading your CV. Would you like to tell us about yourself?

- Nope. Have a nice day and suck my dick. I'm leaving.

Can you give us your phone number and the phone number of your girlfriend?

- I didn't know that I am selling my soul to your company by accepting this job offer. I'm not your slave and you will not call me whenever I'm enjoying my private time.

What's motivating you?

- Money and the peaceful vibe at work when you are shutting the fuck up when I'm fully focused during my projects.

How do you handle stress?

- I dick slap everyone infront of me.

Do you see yourself as a hard worker?

- Nah, I'm not interested in sucking dicks, eating her ass and bending over to get a little bit of a raise.

    @myss it was a joke. I would not be shocked if they did though.

    If I'm not answering their calls, someone else could which increases the chance of reaching me.

    Why do you want to work here?
    - have you even looked up this company? Do you even know what they do?
    - it's used to filter out the CV spammers who are just throwing them at any job and seeing what sticks.

    Are you flexible?
    - expect overtime,
    - expect strange hours when required
    - expect late nights
    - are you happy with a 9-5 job with the occasional light night?

    do you see yourself as a perfect for for the roles?
    - this could just be a test In itself. The safe answer is no, with room to improve.

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    - this is to see if you have a plan, a goal for your career or hell even happy just to continue doing dev work.

    I give up,
    But most of these are standard questions to see if you actually fit within the company, have researched the company and are willing to work more then a strict 9-5 job.

    @C0D4 interesting insight, but if you are having 2 to 3 job interviews every week for one to two months, it becomes exhausting to memorize all of the company history etc.

    I had that last year. 3 interviews in the same week while having to learn for an exam.

    That's simply not possible.
    And besides of that no one would really love to do that. I can learn about the company after me getting the job.

    @-ANGRY-STUDENT- I don't think you are expected to know the history of the company, but it's reasonable to expect you to have looked at what the company does.

    I mean - if its a consulting firm, the technologies involved and the general field that the company gets customers from might be enough. But if you're applying for a job in a start up company that produces assistant robots they will likely a) want you to have understood the pros/cons of working in a start up and b) be passionate about the future of robotics.

    Because they’re trying to protect you from mistake they made a few years ago by applying for work.

    " Nope. Have a nice day and suck my dick. I'm leaving."

    I have to go out and apply to a job just so I can try this one!

    And I don't even need the job!

    Maybe if you went to the interviews with a more positive, open vibe you would have a better chance to get those jobs?

    @krz1 the thing is that I am going to interviews with a positive vibe, but I often regret it when I get out of the interview.

    If I wasn't having a positive vibe about it, I would have rejected the interview in the first place.
    Why wasting my time, right?
