THE MOST FREQUENTLY
ASKED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS |
HINT: when you are preparing your answers, do not limit yourself to
thinking about just what a question asks. Instead, also try to
figure out why an employer would ask the question or what she or he would
really hope to earn about you from your answer. Then develop your
answer so that it responds to the employer's real concerns and really says
something about you.
