    Not sure if this is common where you are from but one question I've had heard a lot is: What's you biggest flaw.

    Which I consider to be one of the most ridiculous questions one could ask in an interview. For this reason - if I knew what a person's biggest flaw was I would probably not want to work with them.

    It's a stupid question because it only elicits canned responses about being too much of a perfectionist

      How do y'do? Surprise tip: the answer in the UK is not what you'd probably expect.

        "sugar or creme in your coffee?"

        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

          Why should we hire you? The whole interview is centered around that question.

          Yusuf May I help you?

            The most common one that interviewers never actually ask is .. Why did you bother coming all the way to this interview when you know that we were always giving the job to someone related to the managing director and just posted the vacancy to meet tiresome regulations?

                      Incorrect the correct answer is: How do y'do? Welcome to life in the UK, where enquiring about someone's health is seen as intrusive.

                            Very little because the recruitment agent only told me who you were 20 minutes ago. I stopped dealing with those recruitment agents - They were always hiding something.
