Interviewing

The article that caught my attention the most was the one on "How to Answer Any Interview Question." It definitely brought a different perspective on answering questions. I thought the information was particularly useful. They said that it was important to have several anecdotes prepared to respond to various questions. They should be general enough that you can shape them to fit the question being asked. It is also important, when answering questions, that you make sure you get several key points across. You can answer the questions using the Q = A+1 format, where Q is the question, A is the answer, + is the transition, and 1 is your point you're trying to get across. It is important to note, however, that you should transition properly between the answer and your point and you should not seem like you are dodging the question to give a random answer.

The other things mentioned were also important. Inevitably, you are going to be asked a question about a fault of yours. You should answer this promplty and directly, but then move on as to not dwell on your short-comings. It is also very important to do plenty of research on the company you are interviewing for. This should go without saying.

This article was definitely helpful in preparing for interviews.
