Abstract

Most employment interviewers ask essentially the same set of questions. The author identifies the ten most frequently recurring questions and suggests what inferences are likely to be drawn from giving certain answers. Consequently, the potential interviewee is advised to prepare responses to each before the job interview. Other suggestions include (1) asking questions of the interviewer, (2) projecting an image of self-worth, and (3) making sure it is clear who will initiate the next step after the interview.
