the other day i had an interview and one of the questions i got was this:
"what would your friends say about you?" see.. this is the kind of crap i'm talking about the first factor is that i don't know.. you'd have to ask them to really know but say i dismiss that factor.. say i completely dismiss it and i decide to answer the question then i'm immediately thinking "WHAT ON EARTH DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS JOB?" you might be thinking something like "well don't worry about it, just answer the question" but what i am saying is.. i don't understand the question.. are they asking me what my friends would say about my character? or are they asking me what my friends would say about my work ethic? or what? like how am i supposed to answer the question when i don't get how you are asking the question if i answer and say something like "they'd say i'm hilarious" THATS PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.. but i don't know what exactly you ARE looking for.. but if i ask and say "what do you mean?" then you'll probably think i'm being a smartass and you'll escort me out or whatever its like a trick.. you ask me a question, yet i am still forced to guess what you are asking me.. keep in mind that NONE OF THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE if the employer would replace the word "friends" in the question with "co-workers" .. but again, the word "friends" makes the question confusing because my friends are totally separate from my my work life my understanding of the question without delving deeper into it would be something like "u are asking me if my friends think i'm a solid dude or not" but if they are my friends, of course they are 95- if not 100% of the time going to think i'm a solid dude for one reason or another so i answer the question the best way i know how.. but somehow i'm still feeling like i'm not answering it "well enough" but honestly what i really think is that THEY ARENT ASKING THE QUESTIONS WELL ENOUGH if the question is super vague then how can i answer it "accurately" ? and even if i do answer it accurately.. does it really tell you anything? i mean wow.. u just learned that my friends think i'm a nice person WHAT IN THE MOTHER F*CK DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT ME, WHEN EVERYONE ON EARTH IS WELL-LIKED BY THEIR FRIENDS? i just think these interviews are so dumb seriously.. and i deal with this even when i watch artist interviews.. a lot of these "hosts" are bad at setting the stage and creating a decent forum.. so back to the job thing.. ok yeah its up to me to show you i can do the job.. but you also have a job, to set the stage properly you do your job so i can do mine.. deal?
