How to Answer Tough Interview Questions

When you manage to get that sometimes elusive interview with the company of your dreams, you need to show up prepared. That means dressing appropriately, showing up on time, and having a good idea of how you're going to answer their questions.

Although interview questions will vary at each company and with each interviewer, there are a few that tend to come up time and again. These can range from the vague ("Tell me about yourself") to the more specific ("Why did you leave your last job?"). Take time to consider what your responses to these questions will be before your interview. You don't need to memorize a script, but keep a few key ideas in mind for each. This will not only ensure you present your most articulate and professional self, but will also serve to put you at ease during the interview, which will make you come across confident, competent and prepared.
