[sookwilson]

if I get the question "what would you bring to a desert island?" I will have some real experience to share :) I have been to the Shahara desert twice (riding camels, slept under the stars etc) and I have also been to Catalina island, it's almost desert :) maybe they will remember me

[claudiahall]

Yes it was definitely very helpful I learned a lot

[jasonmims]

Questions like Tell me about yourself and Why should we hire you ? Seem difficult for someone with little job interview experience. I know how to answer those questions its those behavioral questions like tell me about a time when you took a leadership role what was the result? I hate that those kinds of questions have become common in interviews now.

[brienzon]

My suggest don't give extra detail. When they ask you. Direct answer to some questions limit your answer at least 2 paragraph or less. Sometimes the interviewer want to take some sentences of idea. Just relax transparently talk to them with impression of smile, confident and honesty the priority. Don't say lies or extra that you know.

[ahmedog]

These type of questions remind me of a joke about a doctor diagnosing a patient:

Doctor: cough please
Patient: Coughs
Doctor: again
Patient: Coughs
Doctor: Once more..
Patient Coughs
Doctor: nasty cough you have there.

[TapatioBrandon]

I used the knowledge from this video, I am now homeless and in need of money. Please help me

[Homonyma]

I never took gigs. I stay as long as I can. Sales are down. Most companies are about to close. I wanted to be there as a troubleshooter. I wanted to work for a bank who would see that it was their time to move. It didn't work out. Too many around me had opinions needing to be met.

[baiservole]

The content was great, but watching the speaker widen her eyes wide and narrow, blink multiple times a second, furrow brows and moving about really was distracting and had to stop
