That's a unique question! I always get a little bit tripped up when they ask for my weaknesses. Like, I know the kind of answer they are looking for but it still always feels really disingenuous and fake to me to come up with some sort of socially acceptable corporate weakness.

I agree with you about the weakness question. Wish they would stop asking!
I once had an interviewer ask me what was a misconception that former coworkers had about me. I was stumped at first because it came out of left field, it was something I just hadn't thought about. I said something about how my colleagues at work wouldn't know I'd been a competitive Irish dancer in my youth. But dance training and being in competitions taught me discipline, which came in handy as an adult.

Great answer!
I once got asked in an interview, if I could be any animal what would I be and why? And it was in that exact moment that suddenly I couldn’t think of a single animal to walk planet earth. I don’t even remember what I ended up saying because I was so thrown and I just made something up on the spot. I didn’t get the job and it’s probably because of that answer haha.

Wow, what a WEIRD question!
I think I would’ve said where do you see yourself in five years or why do you want this job. I don’t know if they’d like that answer but it’d be the honest one. But at least it sounds like your interviewer was way more creative than most interviewers I have to deal with.

Oh, hate both those questions!
