You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your gre
2、atest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths. 12. What s your biggest weakness? If you re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don t have
3、one, you re obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like “ I m perhaps too committed to my work and don t spend enough time with my family. ” Oh, there s a fireable offense. I ve even heard “ I think I m too good at my j
4、ob, it can often make people jealous. ” Please, let s keep our feet on the ground. If you re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you re working hard to improve.

5、ing out the complete project every day to see my overall progress. ”13. Let s talk about salary. What are you looking for? Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you re already showing all your cards. You wan
6、t as much as pos*le, the employer wants you for as little as you re willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, “ well, that s something I ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with
7、 my experience should get between X it s a great chance to explain that you re a natural leader. 15. Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.

8、 live is on your notepad what s the point? Better still, you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that s not such a great example either. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation, and considered s

11、 The interviewer is expecting a response focused on personality and personal dislikes. Surprise her by delivering an answer that reflects company values 17. Is there anyone you just could not work with? No. Well, unless you re talking about murderers, racists, rapists, thieves or other dastardly cha

Tell me about any issues you ve had with a previou*oss. Arrgh! If you fall for this one you shouldn t be hired anyway. The i
