“Why do you want this job/to work here?” “I’m just looking for something interesting to do for a while, get out of the house a bit. This sounds interesting enough.”

They hear: I don’t need a job, I may not need money, I may already have a job, I’m not picky about where I work so I’m probably not planning to stay, I’m likely to be weird or high maintenance, I’m very likely to move on quickly if I’m no longer entertained, and most importantly, I don’t need this specific job so I won’t take abuse of any sort.

This does work to land food service jobs, though, because they don’t really care. They gain and lose staff so frequently that if you just aren’t a complete shitshow you’ll get the job.

The only reason it is such a big deal today is because of the hyper offended culture that has been born out of the political correctness culture

I think you need to clarify, because it sounds like you’re saying that the only reason that people have a problem with Nazis is PC culture.

and that you’re saying people making a big deal about Nazis is a bad thing, people should either not care about Nazis or return to not doing anything about Nazis even if they cared?

Keep in mind this is in the context of doing a full Nazi salute, which is pretty unambiguous.

If I’m genuinely speed running this and don’t have consequences is probably drop slurs followed by multiple, conflicting extreme political opinions involving violence and the like. The goal is that even if you find a racist who is excited about your slurs you can hit 'em with extreme progressive takes like “kill all men” or something.

Worst case, after saying a bunch of bad things and conflicting opinions they’ll probably still just think you’re odd.

A better but boring answer, just say “nevermind, I don’t want this job” first thing. lol.

I actually did this. Maybe not within thirty seconds or so, but I was applying for a higher level position (above my current classification) at a collections agency. Was kind of sick of the grind but others thought I should be promoted, but interview was required first. I basically told them over and over that if they paid me the right salary I’d do the job. They were not impressed, and my then manager had a few words for me the next day. Oh to be young and not having a care in the world. I also knew I had a different career path in mind, so I wasn’t interested in staying either.

As soon as it begins, I'll put on that one rubber horse mask that's been a meme on and off for the last 20 or more years.

That in itself might be enough.

If not I may be forced to make horse noises. There's actually a sound that's called "blowing" I think is perfect for the situation, so I could technically "blow" the interview and still get the job if they're sufficiently unhinged.

Were it not for the potential for criminal damage, I would also stand abruptly before making the noise and then, with suitable timing, violently kick the chair backwards.

I think that could all fit nicely within 30 seconds.

Or, you know, I could just tell them the truth that my mental state is incredibly fragile and the tiniest amount of work stress or office politics is going to be detrimental to both myself and the company in very short order and that I should not have been sent there in the first place... but where's the fun in that?

If they still hire me after that, I will work there until I retire.

That would explain a few things about a colleague or two that I have worked with…

The brief was to fail the interview, not also get yourself a criminal record, but I suppose you could float this as a hypothetical in the interview itself and not actually carry it out for more interesting (and less destructive) results.

Wouldnt bother me at all, I probably work with a few undiagnosed colleagues.

The only challenge is making sure we have the right role for you.

That one depends on the job. Some managers will love to exploit your inclination to hyper focus on solving problems and following the rules. They won’t ask you to work unpaid after hours but if you want to they won’t protest… Doing a third of the work for a team of six people? That’s great, but your next performance review will include the criticism that you’re not as social as your coworkers because you’re too busy doing the job.

Except that it’s gambling. The jobs trigger my hyper focus, sure I’ll do in a week a project meant for a month. But inversely, I can be incapable of even thinking about a task and make no progress for weeks.

I mean, meds have made it better.

Remind me when i applied for a tech store.

“We also mandate workers to recommend extra warranty to customers that ask for advice , how do you feel about this”

“I always try to help people who come to me for advice the very best i can, i would need to see the details of this extended warranty but if i believe it would really serve the customer then of course i will recommend it”

They laughed; i did not get the job.

I don’t really see the issue with that one. Most of my staff have commitments outside of work that require them to take certain days off or start/finish late during parts of the year. As long as they advise these things in advance, you can just schedule around it.

Also, if you have enough work on that you need more staff, even a part-timer still reduces the total workload on everyone else.
