I have ...I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I have several open posiitons on my team that I'm hiring for and have had crappy after crappier interviewee. I don't ask the weakness question because I think it's dumb. I do ask the 5 year question because I genuinely want to know where someone wants to be. If they have aspirations to move up and on, that's awesome, if they're happy to be in the same place, that's awesome too. I just want someone to be honst with me while I evaluate their ability to not only do the job but fit in with the existing people on the team.Lara Badaneshttp://cookiescardioandclothes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489773261248660678.post-54533441189441954262015-02-04T16:49:41.251-06:002015-02-04T16:49:41.251-06:00Oh man, that's another question I hate!

Sure it's something I need to know, but I guess it would be more acceptable to ask after they offer me the job?Tabitha_tinywisheshttp://ahundredtinywishes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489773261248660678.post-63769343151986604292015-02-04T16:48:21.257-06:002015-02-04T16:48:21.257-06:00It's so nice to see your pic in my comments ag...It's so nice to see your pic in my comments again! :) btw, I am sending you a nice lil card!

I brainstorm before the interview, but they usually cover everything! And I doubt I'm allowed to ask, "So are you gonna hire me or what?"

That's the answer I want to give. But employers want some BS fluff crap that isn't completely true.
