=Interview Questions=

**1.) QUESTION**
 * Why are you looking for a new job?**
 * Bad Answer:** My boss is a jerk and the customers are hard to deal with.
 * Tip:** Keep the answer positive, in terms of where you want to go, not what you want to get away from.

**2.) QUESTION**
 * Why do you want to work for us?**
 * Bad Answer:** I'm desperate and no one else will hire me.
 * Tip:** Before the interview, visit the employer's Web site to learn as much as you can about the company. When answering this question, focus on one or two flattering items to explain why you want to join this particular company.

**3.) QUESTION**
 * Why have you had so many jobs?**
 * Bad Answer:** I get bored easily.
 * Tip:** Give acceptable reasons (frequent moves, changes in personal goals, etc.), but focus on the fact that you're ready for a permanent position now, which is what they are really concerned about.

**4.) QUESTION**
 * What are your strengths?**
 * Bad Answer:** I can burp on demand and keep a straight face when telling a lie.
 * Tip:** Discuss three or four of your strengths as they relate to the position you are interviewing for, and give examples of times they have helped you do your work.

**5.) QUESTION**
 * What is your biggest weakness?**
 * Bad Answer:** Wow, it's hard to pick just one. I miss deadlines, I'm late for work a lot, and I have trouble working in teams.
 * Tip:** Admit a minor weakness and explain what you're doing to fix it.
 * Better Answer:** I sometimes feel impatient with co-workers who don't work as quickly as I do. However, I'm learning a lot about people's different work styles, and I'm trying new techniques such as helping co-workers brainstorm solutions when they're facing a challenge.
