Ask the right questions get the right job : navigating the job interview to take control of your career

Too often people go to interviews prepared only to answer questions.

They study the tough questions for days hoping to give the right responses on D-Day.

These same people treat the interview as a cross examination; they see themselves on trial, under the spotlight, deer in the headlights.

People who are being interviewed need another attitude, an attitude that says, "I'm here to interview you, to see if I want to bring my talents and experiences to your organization." Most people don't know how to do this.

However, if armed with a few questions, they can even the playing field and engage in a useful conversation with their hosts. This book provides a set of questions that are appropriate for any job candidate to ask and allows candidates to participate in a dialogue, a conversation.

Experience suggests that only a handful of questions are necessary in most interviews. Review all of the questions. Choose the ones that you believe provide you with the information you need.
