This is not always true. Some interviewers absolutely despise the bullshit.

I would never, ever hire anyone who said "my weakness is that I work to hard". If they start feeding me crap like that, the interview is essentially over (I'll go through the motions of the rest of the interview, but I've already crossed them off the list).

Some interviewers just want to be told the truth. If I have to BS my way through an interview, I don't want the job in the first place.

It is often wrong to be completely honest. If you asked that question and the person responded with "well i don't like to work long hours, and i like it when no one tells me what to do, also i like too only work half days every friday." well he is being honest but I am sure you would cross him off you list too

You're right. I don't want that person working for me. I also don't want a bullshitter working for me. Both of them getting crossed off is a good thing, IMHO.

I wouldn't for that reason alone. in fact, I'd give him bonus points for not giving me a bullshit answer. I'd probably respond with "well I like taking half days too, but it's usually not possible".

What are you supposed to say when the interviewer asks, "What are your weaknesses?"

Gee, I steal company equipment and photocopy my ass when no one is around.

So really, what might a good response be.

Just day lack of experience. They already know you lack experience cause they have seen your resume. If you aren't lacking in experience, why not go for something new?

Meh, everyone makes up some bullshit answer to this lame-assed and yet always-asked interview question. All this question really answers is if the interviewee was intelligent enough to spend 5 minutes coming up with a bullshit answer good enough that the interviewer won't be able to smell it.

Re: Stupid Interview Questions
 

A guy I know applied to be a ticket writer at a Las Vegas sportsbook. He was fresh out of college, had no experience in casinos, but wanted to work in the sportsbook. HR sent him to the book to interview with the sports manager. He sat in the manager's office, and waited and waited. The manager would repeatedly come in to do the interview, then get called away for something or other before the interview began.

About the third time they were interrupted, the manager asked him, "What's 40% of 40?"

"Huh? Um....16."

"You start Monday."

This college kid went on to run some of the biggest sportsbooks in Vegas--and when he interviews ticket writers, he always asks them, "What's 40% of 40?".

Of course, if they have big tits, that question is not a deal breaker.
