This is absolutely true, and goes for any silly question like 'where do you see yourself in five years?', 'why should we be working with you?', and the like. If you drive conversation to topics that you think should be discussed, you will be respected for it.
- maeon3 14y agoThink about it, answering the question: "What's your weakness" politely is "toleration of incompetence". Programmers are not hired as cheerleaders or sensitivity assesment personnel. We are not expected to beat around the bush and be "feel-good" companions. We are expected to get in, get shit compiled, get it working, get it fast and get the hell out. WTF are they doing asking us questions more suited for a hired female companion/prostitute? The lack of toleration for complete incompetence is what people need. If not-tolerating incompetence loses you out on that interview, seriously, you DO NOT want to work there. They will steal your soul away, and you'll wish you were dead after a few years of working there.
