My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn’t choose your company specifically.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
“I see myself contributing to the continued success of <company-that-I-plan-to-leave-as-soon-as-possible>.”
My approach to that question is to talk about a skill related to but not required for the role I’m applying for which I would like to learn. I try to present myself as someone motivated to improve his skills in such a way that I would be qualified for the position I’d like for them to promote me to within five years if they hire me.
