How would answer this interview question?

Quote from alittlebird:

I've interviewed many "would be" traders for our firm. I've asked this question many times. What I'm looking for is how objective is this "would be" trader? If I get the pc weakness into strength answer like "I work too hard and often work well into the night", then I know it's bs and this "would be" trader is going to lie to me when I ask him/her to defend a position there're holding that's underwater. What I want is the truth. If you're a procrastinator...say so. I'll ask you how you work with it and you can say "I make lists of all work I need to do and work from the list" to look good. If you freeze when the market moves 3+% against your position....say so. All else means..."I don't know if I can trust you with my firms money".

Give us abreak. Who takes that question seriously. Oh.
 
Just say something harmless like you are not the most organized person in the world and your desk used to be a mess. Now you bought that super-duper organizer and your desk is super organized and your productivity has gone up.
 
LOL.... Funniest thing I have read today.

Be honest.

Something like "The boss's wife. My hand would unintentionally find itself up her skirt, hence the reason I am interviewing."

Then proceed to ask if that is his wife in the family picture on his desk. :cool:
