In today's job market, how you perform in an interview can make or break your

|
||
|
|
301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions is the definitive guide you need
|
||
|
|
to the real, and sometimes quirky, questions employers are using to weed out
|
||

|
<p>I have to be honest and say that I dropped the reading of this half-way through
|
||
|
|
it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Right out of the bad, the author warns that one shouldn't simply repeat the
|
||
|
|
answers she's giving here, but put it their (the reader) own twist. And she
|
||
|
|
does a good thing by adding, after the answer, some tips around the answer
|
||
|
|
itself: why it works, what you shouldn't do, why such questions are asked...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But not every single answer have an explanation. They are there by themselves,
|
||
|
|
which makes a bit hard to put your own twist on them if you don't have any
|
||
|
|
pointers on why it works.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, so answers are simply... to hard to agree with. For example, if you have
|
||
|
|
kids and the interviewer asks if you had any problem staying up late working,
|
||
|
|
the answer is around the lines of "Fuck no. Fuck my kids. I love work. Go
|
||
|
|
work!" Not on those terms, but the interviewer is basically asking if you would
|
||
|
|
mind letting go of your time with your kids and you should answer "sure, fine"?
|
||
|
|
Obviously, you're trying to get that job, but what would happen if you say
|
||
|
|
something like "I don't mind staying late working instead of seeing my kids"
|
||
|
|
only to, months later, have your boss pissing on your hear for going home early
|
||
|
|
'cause one of your kids is sick? Are you going to answer "but it was my kid,
|
||
|
|
and they were sick!"? That's not what you said in the interview...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Obviously, there are things you can do to doing fine in an interview, but I
|
||
|
|
guess lying is not one of those.</p>
