    for #1 - they want to know about you and not about experiences at work; that should be in your resume

    for # 3 - your reply does not answer the Q - they want weaknesses

    for # 5 - an employer is really asking :" what can you do for our company"

    for # 7 - they are looking for a better answer than what you show.....the future is years away to them

    for # 8 - they want examples of how you have dealt with stress while employed
