I like the perfect answer by natty lea\n"I would give the car keys to my friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams"\n\nbut if your friend cant drive or doesn't have insurance, that's  not gonna happen.  Then Id take the old lady to the hospital, letting the friend and the guy help her into the car and contact friends or family.\n\nslip them your mobile number and take theirs to exchange updates.. :-)\n\nwhy?   friend would support you, and the guy may be impressed.. THEN you look him up later or wait for his call.  If hes that perfect, he wont let that opportunity go by

First off...you can do it.  You can win this interview.   How do I know?  \n\na) You have recognized the challenge\nb) You are seeking help in finding a solution.  This act is a sign of confidence and security.   NEVER be ashamed to ask for help.   It is a sign of higher intelligence.\nc) There is still plenty of time to prepare and be ready.\n\nFirst, find yourself a professional notebook (not a binder) with preferably a dark cover on it.   You will take this notebook with you to your interview.  Bring a good quality pen for taking notes and jotting things down that come to mind whenever the interviewer speaks.\n\nYou are going to build for yourself a simple, clear "script" or a set of crib notes for you interview.   If you get nervous at any point during the conversation, you just need to steady yourself and get back on message my looking down at your notes.   The interviewer will be VERY impressed that you have prepared for the interview and will think positively of you.   You will write information in groups of 3.\n\nPage 1 - On the first line of the page in bold letters, write 3 points that identify your real strengths that you will bring to the role or position that you are interviewing for today.   Space the three points so they can quickly and easily be read.   Write the points clearly so you don't have to search for them while conversing with the interviewer.\n\nNext, write 3 intelligent and thoughtful questions about the job that you can ask.   One very powerful question is this, "How does this position help you (the interviewer) accomplish your key goals or objectives?"   You will not need more than 3 questions.\n\nNext, write 3 simple notes on things that you have accomplished that demonstrate you could do this job.\n\nNext write these three phrases in big letters that you can read: \n+   Breath deep and relax. RELAX RELAX then you are at your best\n+   Gently half smile after each question or answer.\n+   Look the interviewer directly in the eyes when you speak\n\nIf you complete this set of notes, rehearse it a few times by yourself or with a friend, by the time your interview comes around you will be smooth as silk and smart as a fox.\n\nRemember...you are a competent, hard working, and intelligent worker.   Write that phrase at the very top of the page in capital letters and at the very bottom of the page.   Say they words to the interviewer when you shake their hand at the end of the session.\n\nBest wishes for your complete success.\n\nPS - I am a retired Chief Operating Officer of a major company.  I know you can do this...so should you.

You never know what an interviewer will ask.  Bad interviewers are as tough as good ones, because bad ones will not give you a chance to show off what you've got.\n\nThe main tactic in an interview is to do most of the talking.  You are there to brag about yourself and convince them that they need you.  Be honest.  If you don't know an answer, say "they did not teach us that, but I can learn about it if you need me to."\n\nIn my toughest interview, the man kept refuting my answers with research.  I stuck to my guns and gave my reasoning.  Later I found out that as soon as I left the room, he said, "he's the one."  I felt like a whipped dog, but I had actually impressed them.\n\nShow enthusiasm--firm handshake, smile, act excited about what you do.\n\nThe novice interviewer will start by saying "Tell me about yourself."  I love this one, because I take over and give a dissertation about how I work, my philosophies, my qualifications, etc.\n\nIf you get the interviewer who won't ask anything, you need to find a way to work in what you want to say.\n\nThe main thing--go in with notes to look at.  That is acceptable, and makes you look organized and professional.  Jot down the main points that you want to make.  Also, have a pen, and jot notes when they speak to you.\n\nOf course, dress professionally.  Practice a firm handshake with men.  Do not just put your hand out--push your hand forward so that they don't accidently grab your fingers.  Do not give them a limp handshake.  Look them in the eye.  Smile.  Do not wink or flirt.\n\nIf they are soft-spoken, speak softly with them (but firmly).  If they are louder, match them.\n\nHave a resume ready and offer it when you first meet.  Have another copy in front of you with your notes.\n\nDon't expect anything, because you can't know what to expect.  Just be prepared, and go in there and have fun.\n\nIf you don't get this one, the next time try to line up more than one interview.  It is less disappointing than doing one interview at a time, because you still have something in front of you.\n\nKnock 'em dead!

what the hell type of question is that?
1121598
Hi, well I'm not sure what type of interview that is, but there are someone questions that I think are standard such as, whats your most major accomplishment? whats your worst vice? Why did you chose to work here? but when they ask you a negative question turn it to become positive. For instance if they ask you "What do your friends not like about you" answer it positively- that you work to hard, lol.

Too many job seekers stumble through interviews as if the questions are coming out of left field. But many interview questions are to be expected. Study this list and plan your answers ahead of time so you'll be ready to deliver them with confidence. \n\n1.What Are Your Weaknesses? \n\nThis is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional traits: "I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter.." \n\n2.Why Should We Hire You? \n\nSummarize your experiences: "With XXXXX  years' experience working in the XXXXX industry and my proven record, I could make a big difference in your company. I'm confident I would be a great addition to your team." \n\n3.Why Do You Want to Work Here? \n\nThe interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you've given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, "I've selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list of desirable choices." \n\n4.What Are Your Goals? \n\nSometimes it's best to talk about short-term and intermediate goals rather than locking yourself into the distant future. For example, "My immediate goal is to get a job in a growth-oriented company. My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes. I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility." \n\n5.Why Did You Leave (Or Why Are You Leaving) Your Job? \n\nIf you're unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: "I managed to survive two rounds of corporate downsizing, but the third round was a 20 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me." \n\nIf you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience." \n\n6.When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job? \n\nThe interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. "I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked directly with the customers and their problems; that is an important part of the job for me." \n\n7.What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't? \n\nWhat makes you unique? This will take an assessment of your experiences, skills and traits. Summarize concisely: "I have a unique combination of strong technical skills, and the ability to build strong customer relationships. This allows me to use my knowledge and break down information to be more user-friendly." \n\n8.What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You? \n\nIt's time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss's quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else's words: "My boss has told me that I am the best XXXXXX  he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humour." \n\n9.What Salary Are You Seeking? \n\nIt is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in your area, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: "I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?" \n\n10.If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be? \n\nInterviewers use this type of psychological question to see if you can think quickly. If you answer "a bunny," you will make a soft, passive impression. If you answer "a lion," you will be seen as aggressive. What type of personality would it take to get the job don
