New York Times bestselling author Nathan W. Pyle (previously here) looks like the kind of guy who has endured one horrible job interview too many. Mainly because his ongoing comics series "Nailed It" perfectly captures the hilarious tension between the interviewer and the interviewee and everything that it produces.

Once i said NO to my boss when he asked me to come on weekend, and when he asked the reason for it, i said coz I have a weekend job as a cat-sitter! He never asked me to come on weekend again! P.S.- I later found out he was afraid of cats!

I was asked that question and I blew it. I told the man that I wanted a dog. Can't believe I didn't get the job.....

Well if it was for a vets office you would be in for sure. I ended up with 5 cats and 4 dogs, and a pregnant guinea pig when my wife got a job there. Luckily we got free boarding and cheap prices on everything we needed to take care of them. So it all worked out in the end.

This is such a dumb question. The answer is because you need an employee and I need a job. I mean, YOU'RE the one with the "help wanted" notice.

They're looking for a reason to hire an employer who is knowledgeable and experienced, not just any shmuck who sits for an interview

I was asked where I saw myself in five years. This is such a stupid question - who knows what's round the corner? I had a really great job, then my mother became ill and needed full time care. My whole future changed! How you see your life and what happens purely fate.

Very much in agreement with you. That is a question that was probably useful in older days. Now every darn thing changes so rapidly.

Now, I really don't Blame HRs for these questions, it's there job to ask these questions after all. Yes, they should or they can change the questions or change the methodology of whole HR interview, but guess what - those people are not getting enough paid to take all that pain, they have books, and they go by them. Don't Blame them. I am an engineer and i don't blame them, Never!

Thus ones a beaut! All the big companies and even a couple smaller businesses have asked me this but it cracks me up because yeah, it's like asking how something as far away as 5 years? Get outta here with such obtuse bullsh!t

Most job interviews are just outdated, unnecessary and sometimes stupid. If a company HR asks me a lot of questions such redundant questions like "name a weakness" or "tell us about a time when you succeeded in something", that 's a signal that the place is run by an old fashioned and stiff administration. In this case I feel uneasy about working with such an obssessed mentality. Another point that shows this is nonsense is that HR know most interviewees forge answers just to please the company. Where is the truth in this?

Yeah but they still keep on asking these questions! :/

I've had every single one of these questions in most of my job interviews, and I noticed they just follow a protocol without actually listening since they already decided on your cover letter and your looks wether you made it...

I was asked numerous questions in my 1st interview. I was called back a week later for a 2nd interview and answered more questions. They called me two weeks after that and offered me the job. I had already taken a job with another company. I told them they waited to long and needed to change their interview process. Do they think we don't go on numerous interviews with various companies? I told them it was their loss.

Better luck that me. I was getting calls for interviews three months after I had been hired at my current employer.
