Yeah, I've had that one thrown at me a few times. I asked them if they wanted a short lie, or the long truth.
"What are my weaknesses I said, hmmmm, lemme think about that. By weaknesses, what do you mean? Could the fact that I like women be a weakness? If so, we're all stuffed aren't we, those of us that are male, and in this interview right now".
NO they said, "that's not a weakness, that's just life, men need women etc". "Ok" said I, "so, would you consider the fact that I"m actually really really really sick of Chinese food a weakness then?"
"Well", they said, "yes, because this is China, but it has nothing to do with your teaching abilities does it".
"No" said I, "it doesn't except for the fact that I'm becoming weaker from lack of what I consider to be real food". "That's no good they said, but that's not really what we meant by weaknesses". So I asked them, "what do you mean by weaknesses".
"Well, we mean the ability to teach no matter what" they said.
"Oh", said I, "you mean, can I drink all night and then still manage to walk upright into class and say a few words in english to the students?"
Needless to say, I didn't get the job....
Hehehehehe, this didn't actually happen to me, but I bet it's happened to a few other folks!
That's my attempt at humour for the day, and yep, I'm aware I didn't spell "humour" the American way, but I ain't one of you good folks, sooooooooo.
