My wife has been interviewing candidates at her company, here's a smattering of answers that she's gotten that are good examples of what not to say. I kid you not, these are real answers.

What do you like most about this position?

The commute.


Do you like working in teams or alone?

Alone. If I'm in a team, then I have to share the glory.


My personal favorite was for a position that my department was interviewing for. We work on the 9th floor of a 13 story building. The candidate was a no-show, and HR called us the next day, telling us how the candidate came, looked at the building, went home, then called and chewed HR out for not telling her the building was over 3 stories high! Go figure.
