Q: How do you answer job interview question why we should not hire you?

A: The best response would show your humility, your awareness and your dedication.

On a recent job interview, I was asked the same question. I had prepared myself for such an event and gave the following answer:

"You wouldn't hire me because you feel that I am better than you in every way and you don't want me to outshine you, usurp your position, steal your friends and your wife, and live the life you've always dreamed.

Judging by these surveillance photos I have of you, taken on the 11th, 14th and 16th of November, that wouldn't be too hard.

Here you are crying, literally crying, into your beer at a T.G.I. Fridays while drinking all alone. Here you are freaking out behind the dumpster because you spilled coffee on your tie before an important meeting. Here you are failing to satisfy your wife in bed. She does not look happy. Nor surprised.

No wonder you feel so threatened by me. I understand why you wouldn't want to hire me, since you are such a failure as a manager, as a husband, and as a man. Not hiring me would be yet another in the endless line of mistakes you call a life, as detailed in these extensive interviews with you mother. "

You'll be surprised to hear that, despite my perfect answer, I did not get the job. Apparently McDonalds wanted to "go in a different direction" with their fry cooks.
