Weaknesses

I don't get why employers still ask applicants what their weaknesses are, since applicants always lie when asked this question.

Employers claim it gives them insight into how an employee's mind works, but asking about a their weaknesses just makes you sound like a cheesy supervillain out to defeat the heroic applicant who lacks the "plenty of money" super power.

If you need a job then keep telling interviewers your weaknesses are you can't bring yourself to take vacations and you're a perfectionist, but as this Mr. Lovenstein comic shows only say you have no weaknesses if you're bulletproof.

In the past I always used to just say "getting interviewed is one of my weaknesses, since I tend to get a bit nervous in them". Really, I don't get nervous in them, but for some reason this answer always seems to make the interview go really well from that point forward.
