I've been told that I'm "too honest" in an interview. I was once asked what interested them most about the job, and I blurted out, "nothing. This office is on the beach, and I love the beach, so I'll be a happy employee." Most of the interview board had blank stares on their face, and one lady leaned forward and said, "that's why I wanted to work here." I explained that I would be honest and not tell them what they wanted to hear, which is what other applicants would say.
No, I didn't get the job; but I was placed on the "A" list for future job vacancies in the county. Much like the time I interviewed with the sheriff's department and didn't realize that my fly was not only down but wide open. I stood in front of four seated ladies, so I was at eye level, shook their hands, and thanked them for the interview. That was the worst interview ever. Since then I decided to read some essays on corruption habits on the sites like this one
https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/corruption/ in puprose to make the promise to learn from them.. So I changed my mmy mind about wanting the job but decided to go to the discussion since the recruiters had invested the time to select me. At one point, I was daydreaming so much that I forgot the question and had to ask them to repeat it. Then on the way to my truck, I noticed that my fly was wide open. I was placed on the "A" list.
I guess from this point I have to learn how to answer interview questions more strategically to avoid this straightforward effect, start more softly.
OK you professional college grad folks what say you
