Fear of Interviews...or Fear of Getting an Interview

I'm talking about JOB interviews. I ventured through Monster.com looking at questions for job interviews. The most fearful question?

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? It's 50-50 here. Go blank and you're dead.

Most interesting question? How many times to the hands on a clock overlap? Is that in a 12 or 24 hour period?

Why am I looking up questions for a job interview? Well, it's because I am hoping for one. See in my line of work, you apply for a promotion, you hope to be high on a list...high enough to be interviewed for the position. It sounds simple and can be. Or your name can be passed among others to be praised or smeared with the hope of being ranked to be interviewed.

So, what are your strengths and your weaknesses? Maybe one strength is knowing how many times the hand of a clock overlap.
