Regarding #3: it’s a nice try, but you’ll be very, very lucky if a company is willing to divulge numbers as early as they ask you to do so. However, the first part of the answer is right but you can also add that you’re flexible and are certain that you can come to an agreement later. In other words- salary won’t be an issue. Of course, when ‘later’ arrives, you might change your mind if the numbers are too low for the responsibilities they ask of you.

Please answer me:
• Why did you leave your last job?
• Have you ever been fired or forced to resign?
• Why have you had so many jobs in such a short period of time?
• Can you explain this gap in your employment history? What have you been doing since you were last employed?
• Exactly why do you want to work here?
• Why should we hire YOU? What can you do for us that someone else can not?

• Have you ever had problems with a supervisor or a coworker? Describe the situation for me. How did you resolve the conflict?
• Describe some times when you were not very satisfied or pleased with your own performance. What did you do about it?
• Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved it.
• Give me an example of an important goal you had to set and tell me about your progress in reaching that goal.

Personally, I do think that these suggestions are absolutely great that Carole has given! People shouldn’t be so negative in life all the time. If you have not got the position you worked so hard for (face it everyone has had that) it’s just called luck. Having actual people that want to make a difference in helping a person get that “dream job” they have always wanted is wonderful! People shouldn’t nag at someones talent on the ability and drive to help someone in need. And yes, this response that Carole has posted up did HELP ME. If something went wrong per say in the interview that you went to, doesn’t necessarily mean that you should pin the blame on someone else.

Thank you Carole for this post. I truly believe that you are Americas #1 Interview Coach, and I thank you for wanting to help me and everyone else who has been searching for that long, desired job. Thanks to you, I GOT THE JOB!

What about the:

Where do you see yourself in 5 years ?

… to me that’s always the toughest question to not sound stupid answering

Dana,

Congrats on the new job. It sounds like a great place to work and I checked out the website and it seems that they have locations all around the world.

I’m all about the link love and a big supporter of the “do follow” movement. So if you have other valuable websites that others would enjoy, I don’t mind.

Damon,

Yeah, I sort of tried that answer, that I wanted to be a team lead (I’ve been a developer for decades) and was told that there wouldn’t be any chance of advancement for at least the next two years. However, they did hire me, at something a bit more than the original budgeted range, and after one week on the job I can say it’s a totally awesome place to work. And they’re looking to hire another 100 people this year…
