But if you answer too well they could doubt you. So your job is to get somewhere between a 91% and a 98% depending on the employer's mood and the positions of the planets.
yes sir mr boss man i was a lead developer on over 9000 pentagon software projects that meant life or death for our boys in green. i literally designed 360 no scope auto aim on real life rifles sir
straight up making stuff up is risky as if they find out they can fire you with no recourse on your part. Better to exaggerate and tell the truth in flattering ways
From my understanding they apply biblical numerology and orgone theory and blood type and all kinds of other mystical HR bullshit. Just utter superstitious dogshit made up by people whose job is to sell business self-help books, to try to, idk, edge out .001% more reliability per employee or something?
I honestly think they don't even know why they're doing it. HR hazing rituals have been getting dumber and more esoteric and more pointless for years and now it's so enmeshed in the culture they're not even really examining their priors anymore.
isn't this pretty much a "can you tell us what we want to hear" test
