Is it never possible to be honest in a job interview?
I've been with the same employer for over twenty years, but I can foresee circumstances where it would be necessary to look for a new job.
Isn't it possible to just tell the truth? I'm really good at what I do. I do it quickly and accurately. I tend to be a bit inflexible and don't really care for change. That's good in some ways, because in me you'll find a solid reliable worker who isn't looking to move up the corporate ladder. While I can be polite and most people don't find me objectionable, I really do better in the background.
If you're looking for a smart, quick, efficient worker who you can count on over a long period of time, I'm your man. If you're looking for someone who interviews well and has great people skills and is very flexible and motivated, you'd better keep looking.
Is that really so awful?
