Job Interview Questions

On this page there is a short list of possible questions. Try to play the game of interview - and answer them laud and clear - as you would do on the interview. While answering you should concentrate on positive only, avoid negativity, project confidence, be relaxed. This comes with practice. Remeber - never tell bad things about your previous boss or company. Always tell that you move on because you want to grow, get more challenge, etc.

I highly recommend to buy and listen to those 2 audio-books:
