    If you could be any kind of fruit would you be and why?

    I answered a pineapple...cause I'm prickly on the outside and sweet on the inside.

    I lied.

    "Tell me about a work conflict and how you handled it."

    Um... I... didn't?

    I mean, yeah, of course I have real-life answers to that, but I really don't want to divulge how I pretty much ended up being responsible for the warrant for my former boss' arrest after he skipped the border to Mexico with $2,500 he stole from other employees. Not exactly a good outcome.

    I hate it when they ask you if you're applying/interviewing anywhere else. I'm not really sure what the correct answer is for that.

    - If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

    - Explain a situation where there was a conflict between you and a coworker where you could have handled the outcome better.
    (I never have an answer for this because I report every SERIOUS conflict to my supervisor because that's what I was taught to do. I explained that as an answer to the question once, and the interviewer was actually irritated I had never gotten in someone's face on the job. What?!)

    I ransacked the internet for ridiculous interview questions and have a cheat sheet of answers somewhere.

    You explain why this company is your ideal fit.
