Be prepared to ask questions during interview

Many people are so concerned about the questions that will be asked of them in a job interview, they forget to prepare questions of their own. 

Carefully prepared questions are a powerful yet subtle way to sell yourself to the interviewer.
These questions will not only provide you with the information you need, but can also reveal your perceptiveness, experience and job knowledge. 


Interview Questions To Help You Assess Customer Service Skills

by Susan Keane Baker

  1. "What would you say to a patient who yelled at you because he had to wait a long time?" Ask the applicant to speak to you as he or she would to the patient. Watch for a patronizing tone, or a "don't blame me, I just work here" approach.

Curricula vitae

I will leave it to you to decide on the style and content of your
curriculum vitae. There are many sources which will advise you on these

tough interview questions, it would be remiss of me not to at least

actively looking for and applying for jobs or be the subject of a
headhunting exercise before you can stun them with your carefully
crafted answers!
