This interview answer card got people sharing ideas for funny comebacks – 10 favourites


u/jDubbaYo-6 posted a picture of their own interview innovation on Reddit’s r/funny forum.

I hate it when job interviewers ask “What is your greatest strength?” so I printed up these business cards to just hand out when asked.

Someone named u/CLG91 – who may or may not be a droid from a galaxy far far away, said –

I’d f*ck it up and hand over a 20 year old Blockbuster card.

The probable job-losing prop got other Redditors thinking about interviews, and these 10 reactions really tickled us.
