Important Interview Questions and Your Answers

At the Beginning of the interview, after the hand shake and pleasantries say “…you know, I haven’t interviewed in a long time.. if everything goes well today, what is the next step?”
At the End of the interview when asked “do you have an questions of me or about the company?” Ask: “What is the number One thing I can do when I start here, to relieve your immediate workload?”
Note: a favorite method I use to remember all these is take a Steno pad in the interview with you with the answers to the questions already written out. A “cheat sheet” if you will, except in an interview there is no such thing as cheating. The Steno pad method works well, especially under pressure, you won’t forget anything. It is also good for taking your own notes – in many ways you are discreetly interviewing the company as well.
