Ok, now you got the interview, and most of this should be second nature to you but you would be suprised how many still get stumped or stammer through an interview on just the basics, if you stumble here, god help you on the technical side of the process. So for review purposes here goes:


Interviewer:
Tell me about yourself.
You:
Remember, this is a job interview, not a psychological or personal interview. The interviewer is interested in the information about you that relates to your qualifications for employment, such as education and work experiences. Leave out how many dogs, cats, or ex spouses you have.


Interviewer:
What do you expect to be doing five years from now? Ten years from now?
You:
The interviewer is looking for evidence of career goals and ambitions rather than minutely specific descriptions. The interviewer wants to see your thought process and the criteria that are important to you.


Interviewer:
Why should I hire you?
You:
Stress what you have to offer the employer, not how nice it would be to work there. You MUST be able to justify why he can't afford not to hire you. Discuss the projects you have participated/led that have saved previous employers money. You are an investment the company can not afford to pass up, you must be able to offer a return that would even make Madoff scared.


Interviewer:
What are your ideas about salary?
You:
Research salaries in your field before your interviews so that you know the current salary range for the type of position you are seeking.


Interviewer:
What do you know about Company X?
You:
Research the employer before your interview; attempt to find out about the organization's products, locations, clients, philosophy, goals, previous growth record and growth plans, how they value employees and customers, etc.
