Why should we not hire you?

This interview question challenges your wit and ability to think outside the box. The trick to answering questions like this is offering a strength that can also be perceived as a weakness, such as some of your pet peeves that might benefit the business. For example, if you are extremely safety-oriented, you can warn your interviewer that you have annoyed your coworkers by always insisting they wear their bike helmets when riding to work or insisting everyone wear protected eyewear whenever necessary and that you do so because you care for the welfare of the team. However you choose to answer, you aim to offer something that is a positive trait you are committed to, regardless of its popularity.
