the kind of mindless corporate bullshit that they'd love to hear.
Yeah, that's the way I played it, too. Then later had this embarrassed feeling like, Oh man I was such a tool for willingly playing patty-cake with these corporate vampire-squids who really only want to suck my blood to further their own good and to hell with me. But then again, a paycheck's what it's all about. You gotta' do what you gotta' do, I guess.

caught off guard by how hot the chick who was interviewing me was.
You should've replied, "Hopefully in your bed."
That usually works for me.

They wanna know if you plan for future, and if you have ambition and they wanna see if you fit into the company?

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess any answer with a positive spin on it is what they're looking for.

You should reply, "I see myself taking over your job in five years. So where do you think YOU will be in five years?"
That usually works for me.

Hahahaha I got asked this question by my boss at my last job.
I was humourous and said "I see myself winning the lottery" she laughed and replied with "drinking cocktails on a beach?" so I laughed back and said I see myself working there with hopefully a promotion after 5 years. ‍️
