Describe to me a time when you overcame adversity in the workplace.
Okay, sure... there was the time I caught the CFO fudging numbers to give himself more stock options. I found out the CEO knew all about it and was involved, too.
As head of accounting, of course, I was powerless. So I lobbied the board for 8 months until I was hired as CEO, then I fired them both. We had record earnings the following year.
Hm... That's impressive, but I think you may be overqualified for the bag boy position.
You mean... I can go straight to being a checker?
