Will You Land the Job of Your Dreams?


In today's market, landing a job is more difficult than keeping one. Personnel managers see the interview as crucial. Droves of job seekers fall by the wayside because of a poor showing during the first five or ten minutes of the initial meeting. On the other hand, a successful interview generally leads to a job offer.

Turn the tables for a moment. Pretend you are the interviewer. Assume that your company (TechAll) is an average firm and the job candidate is of average competence. The applicant has given the following responses to your questions-do they seem acceptable to you?
