I just had an interview at staples, one of the questions was what de-motivates you, and I stupidly said "Things I am not interested in", I should have said "being un-organized", do you think i still have a chance with the job, the rest of the interview went great.

personally, I don't think it was such a bad response.... Of course if you are not interested in what you are doing... you will not be motivated to do it....
You may force yourself to do ... because it's your job.... but you won't be motivated.
Is de-motivated even a word???
I think being stimulated by your work... learning new things.... that is a motivating factor for alot of people.
I wouldn't worry about it.

nicely, be ordinary with them. in case you bypass to the interview and are not getting the interest a minimum of mom knows you tried. in case you get the interest, a minimum of you be conscious of which you get carry of it via fact they enjoyed you. Honesty is a few thing your interviewee might desire to relish. in case you particularly want the interest, then attempt to think of greater of a situation which contain your friends, and not circumstances. Like are you talkative? particular, I initiate many conversations with my acquaintances that finally end up being huge communicate. Are you the chief of the gang? nicely i'm the single that continually shows what my acquaintances and that i might desire to do on friday nights. do no longer experience to undesirable in case you are not getting the interest inspite of the undeniable fact that, there are thousands of purposes going in the direction of any open jobs via economic gadget. while it encompasses a company they're required to interview particularly much all people that submitted an application. many of the interviews I even have long previous to the appliance itself in no way got here up, and if it does, BE ordinary! good success!

Yeah...you probably blew it since Staples is one of those organizing type of stores. I'm sure they would have liked the answer about being unorganized demotivating you better.

Admittedly that is not the best answer to give, but they may consider it honesty or they may think the rest of your interview was good enough to outweigh any "bad" answers.

eh who knows if they like you they will hire you anyway. Don't worry about it. My interview I thought didn't go very well but that was over 4 years ago with the company I am with now.

You'll probably be fine. Any decent manager looks at the overall applicant not just one or two answers.

Really? When I first read that I thought it was a great answer, becuase it's so true and everyone knows it.
