My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn't choose your company specifically.

"Where do you see yourself in the future?" Who fucking knows at this point, hopefully ALIVE.

"What do you expect for compensation?" Just tell me what the low end of the job is because I know that's what you're going to pay anyway.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" Can you explain these gaps in your employing someone in this position?

I live in Canada and about once a year Trump remembers we exist and talks about invading us. Quebec and Alberta both keep talking about separating. I don't know where Canada will be in five years time, let alone myself.

The compensation thing drives me nuts too. It's like if nothing in the store had a price on it and when you went up to the checkout they were like "What would you expect to pay for a can of peas?" Just tell me the number and I'll either agree or not!
