I chose to read the two articles below because they will help me handle tough questions and also ask good interview questions.
“ How to Answer the Toughest Interview Questions”
The easiest way to answer tough types of questions is to practice in a mirror over and over. The most important question is usually the salary question, so it is best to prepare in advanced and give a good range. People should think about their last salary and the average salary for that company and the position they are seeking. The question I think that is more important is the Why question. This one will probably determine if you get the job or not because people do not understand there is a difference between being confident and boastful about yourself. It is good to show confidence about your accomplishments, but also show integrity. People should also be prepared to answer the silly question because companies want to know how you handle pressure, so it is best to expect the unexpected. The article also stated that is not so important what you compare yourself with but give good explanation.
“It's Your Turn: What to Ask an Interviewer”
At the end of interview it is important to ask questions because it shows that you are interested in the job. Be sure that the questions you ask are appropriate for the person. The main questions to try and avoid are the salary, vacation, and your retirement benefits questions. By asking these questions, you might send a message to interviewer that you are more interested in compensation than the industry itself. The recruiter questions are referred to as the big picture types. With this in mind ask the recruiter questions like how is the culture, what type of employees excel at that position, and to describe the interview process. The questions that are best for your future boss are very different. The questions should be very specific about the job responsibilities and its challenges. If you are seeking to be working closely with the executive, it is important to ask questions about the future of the corporation, because it shows your knowledge of the company. After all the interviewing, it is important to meet with a co-worker and ask questions. Try you best to stay away from the inside information, but there is nothing wrong asking about the department and the work environment.
