Patterns in Interviews

The Arizona Republic has an article advising us to plan for the inevitable patterns that occur in job interviews.

It also offers advice on some of the most frequently used job-interview questions including:

What are your weaknesses?
Why do you want to work her?
Why did you leave your last job?
What are your career goals?
Tell us why we should hire you.

Some very simple registration may be required to read the article.

A similar article distributed by Copley News Service lists five similar questions -- and notes that you'll get more than 800 hits if you use the search term "job interview" on Amazon.com.

Give Me a Sign

As we travel our career paths, wondering where to go next, we get signs. They can be in places ordinary or unexpected. They can come from above or from the road commission. We use those signs in Ask the Recruiter.

If you see a sign that speaks to you about your career, e-mail a photo of it to joe.grimm@gmail.com. Who knows? The sign you see may serve another.
