Just depends on what kind of job you were interviewing for, and the interviewer's sense of humor! If I'd liked a candidate so far a quip like that wouldn't turn me off. A sense of humor can lead to more easygoing business relationships, which can be a plus in many industries. As long as you followed it with legit reasons to hire you, I think you're good!

This is too funny, I hired someone about a month ago that said the same thing. I'd never heard anyone say it before and I always look for unique response instead of "I'm a hard worker." It made her seem confident and funny. She ended up being totally awesome.

I wouldn't worry too much. It's much better than the standard "Because I am working so hard, and I am such a good team player, yadda yadda yadda..." Everybody says that. Think of something on your own, be honest, show some self-confidence and most importantly - be able to defend what you say. If the interviewer is good and not just looking for a slave-drone, you should be fine. In my last interview I had a completely different view of how certain processes should be implemented as one of the highest-ranking managers of the company and argued against him. That was essentially what got me the job. I wish you good luck!

I hate that question...it decides a yes or a no...

I hope you do get the job because clearly you are AWESOME lol

You're confident, the get a job you need that characteristic. :p

BECAUSE IM AWESOME

Confidence is always a plus. If you have the right qualifications, you should still get the job.

I said that and I got the job! lol I guess it's all in the delivery.

I can't say YDI or FYL on this one because I don't know what type of job you applied for. If the place was strictly professional then I would say YDI, but if its a more laid back kind of job, then FYL, even though it wouldn't be that bad.
