My expectations for answers to this question are not high. I tend to be happy with almost any answer that indicates that they know at least a little bit about what we do and about what they want.
Wrong answers include:
- silence / *shrug* / other non-answers
- the recruiter I'm working with set this up, but neither he nor I could be bothered to prep me for the interview at all.
- I have no idea what I'm looking for in an employer / job. (This might be acceptable for a new college grad, but not for anyone with any real job experience.)
