I can't remember the last time I had to go for a job interview. Are there any modern-day questions I should be prepared for?

The lame "Where do you see yourself in five years?" one. I hate it. Like, I don't know? Here? Not here??

Also, when they ask you if YOU have any questions? Ask them what the office culture is like. I love that one.

Ah yeah, that one does seem a little bit difficult given the situation of not completely knowing what is about to happen.

I hate the question in general but being HERE makes it even worse.

I can't remember the last time I had to answer that question.

Our liaison helped me get in initially with where I work but I still had to convince them to let me do the thing I wanted and MAN that interview process hurt my brain a little. They just ask textbook questions and like how is this relevant to what I would be doing??

Ah the difference between what they want you to say versus what they want you to actually do.

Exactly. If they wanted to quiz me on how to run a board from the mic, I could have shown them. But no: tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer.

I don't know, I hung up on them so we didn't get an FCC violation??

Or better yet, what is your biggest flaw in the workplace.


... What is the FCC violation?

"I work too hard!"

FCC is the Federal Communications Commission which basically regulates what can and can't be said on radio, what can and can't be said or shown on television, etc. So if someone on air is being atrocious, I can hang up on them to avoid not bleeping them out fast enough with the delay. Boom! No potential violation.

I once wanted to say I'd be shit at gossip at the water fountain.


Good to know.

-Where do you see yourself in five years time?
-What are your strengths/weaknesses?
-Why should I hire you?
-Tell me about yourself/your work experience.
-Why do you want this job?
-What are your salary expectations?
-Why are you the right fit to succeed in this role?

So, not too much has changed in modern-day questions, that's good to know.

No, interviews haven't changed much in my experience. Probably should.

That is something I can agree on, there are much better ways to get to know someone.

A three page essay for instance.

As a journalist, I could get behind that!

I'll keep it in mind next time I need to hire someone.

You know the town better than I do, do you have any suggestions for best places to celebrate?

The pier, I think.
