From the Reader’s Digest YEARS ago re: college students applying for a job:

What are your strengths?
I am honest, trustworthy, reliable, diligent, faithful, etc.
What are your weaknesses?
Sometimes I am not honest, trustworthy, reliable, diligent, faithful, etc.

What positive change have you noticed in yourself lately?
The sight of blood no longer excites me.

A buddy of mine looking for a job went through these endless questioning routines. When asked why he wanted this job at this company, he snapped and replied “to feed my family in the manner to which they have become accustomed to.” (He didn’t get the job.)
