20. Why I am a government wonk!!!!
Answer how you'd really like to answer

1) What is your greatest strength

I can eat a few Xanax for breakfast and not get busted sleeping on my desk blotter.


2) What is your biggest weakness

I need more and more Xanax to show up for work.


3) What is your greatest accomplishment

I once stayed up all night doing a bunch of MDA and drinking and I STILL made it to work the next morning. I am especially proud of the fact that I only threw up in the garbage can a few times during that shift.

4) What do you regret the most

I really wish I'd peed in the front seat of that guy's car--the one that sold me the lousy pot and then tried to feel me up.


5) Why are you the best person for this job

Because I'm not gonna tell anyone you bought a pound of pot from me twenty years ago. You were REALLY baked and I don't think anybody should hold it against you now.

Answer how you'd really like to answer

1) What is your greatest strength

Resisting authority

2) What is your biggest weakness

Resisting the urge to steal

3) What is your greatest accomplishment

Banging your wife, it was only a great accomplishment cause she's so gross.

4) What do you regret the most

Not banging your mother.

5) Why are you the best person for this job

Have you SEEN the other applicants?


Side story; best answer I ever gave at an interview was in March for the Province Newspaper... it's a total rag and I wasn't really taking them seriously. So, when the two douchebags asked me "What is the first thing you would do if you had control of this paper for day?" My answer was, "Fire you two."

They had no sense of humour.

27. Oh dear.
1.)I'm kinda really good at the convincing people "I'm not full of shit" thing. What makes it really impressive is that I'm pretty full of shit. It's amazing that my eyes haven't turned brown.

2.) You might not have noticed but I have no patience. I've been accused on my best days of being a vicious asshole. Today...not my best day...tomorrow's not looking too keen either.

3.) I effectively kept my last boss from discovering that I'd lost $54,769 for over nine months. I didn't really lose it per say, I just really really really over-tipped the caterer and apparently I'm terrible at baccarat too. (I didn't actually do this...I've always wanted to say this though)

4.) My senior year prom date.

5.) I've written a grant proposal before, run a charity event and coordinated my last employer in this field's only successful annual appeal ever...by which I mean that I'm way way too overqualified to actually want to work here except that I need to pay my rent.
