Subject:Re: what to say on interview From:Barbara Karst-Sabin <barbara -at- QUOTE -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 13 Jan 1999 11:33:31 -0800
Having just survived a series of interviews (looking for something
permanent after contracting for a while), I find that the questions that
really stump me are the one that don't have a "good" answer. Like:
"What is your dream job?" when it's nothing like what you're
interviewintg for
"What is the perfect size team?" Is that a trick question? Am I
supposed to say one that big enough to get the job done? Or am I
supposed to pick some mythic magic number???
I wish they'd asked about my hobbies and interests ;+).
Yikes!
