If aliens invaded Earth disguised as humans, where would you expect to find them? What jobs would they be doing? What would be their intentions? How might you interact with them?

Well aliens have been rumored to like to do strange medical procedures on abductees so my uneducated guess of course would be finding them in the hospitals or science labs. Their intentions would be to figure out why how Otis makes his shine so quickly and it comes out perfect every time. Or what does Hippy really put in his pizzas. Or what makes Roosters beans so potent. So maybe they would be disguised as farmers to..... The world may never know!

Okay...more direct answer to your Q, but still not original ...
There was a science fiction film and the aliens finally revealed themselves, and they had come to find ways to serve mankind.

Then, just as everybody got on the space ship and was locked in, it was revealed that TO SERVE MANKIND was...a cookbook.

Walt Kelly, this quote of "...he may be us"... he was launching attacks on McCarthyism, through his comic strip!

McCarthyism was a low point in US history, It's interesting that Reagan was a supporter and, I understand, had no hesitation about informing on his Hollywood colleagues.

I'm logging off now. Back tomorrow.

They would be disguised as engineers or scientists so that when they went back to their homeplanet, or they met up for coffee with another alien, they would laugh about how primitive we are and how little we have discovered, and so that they know what, out of their 'advanced' technologies (that are pretty primitive compared to other 'alien' civilisations) they have to use to destroy us.

Or, they could just destroy Earth for a new hyperspace bypass.

Not a problem, Tris. Good old human ingenuity will defeat alien invaders every time. After all, that's how it worked out in Independence Day. :)

Their very presence would verify a much greater intelligence (which wouldn't be a very high bar, anyway) and, depending on their intentions here, they might seek to put themselves in positions to exert quiet influence. Think of the Mafia, for example, though with more stealth. I'd suggest such posts as political lobbyists, clergy, and those "background" advisors to world leaders, diplomats and powerful business execs. 

Perhaps they might remain reclusive observers, in tight-knit groups, like sleeper cells; or maybe Kanye West is one gone rogue. Stands to reason. 

Speculating is so much fun. 

Maybe aliens would seek the capacity to study us, or our world; its not unreasonable to suggest they'd seek out certain fields of science or the study of our (rather sad, to be frank) history.

If an alien race were so smart as to successfully disguise their presence among us for any length of time, they would certainly be discerning enough to know that the best and easiest way of influencing great, enduring control over humanity --if that were a goal-- would be through religion.

Hmm,... the more you think about it...

Intriguing answer. Thoughtful. Comprehensive. Contradictory.

Why contradictory? It's a bit hard to reconcile their greater intelligence with Kanye West. Unless, of course, they're deliberately trying to make him look like an idiot. :)

West is so far out there, he could be a diversion.

Let's not insult our extra terrestrial visitors by thinking they would be stupid enough to run for office. Even THEY are not that stupid! No, I think they are shapeshifters that operate under the guise of cats. Now THOSE gaffers are smart ! They sleep all day, have their people take care of their every need and bury their poop in a box .. of which their human comes along and digs up.
