prior interview knowledge

After reading three articles on preparation for interviews I have gained a knew profound knowledge on what to know ahead of time. The first article I read stressed the importance of being prepared for the hard possibly uncomfortable questions about yourself. These could range from what goals you have for yourself in the future, why you should be hired, and how much money you expect to make at that position. All of these questions can either harm or strengthen the interiew and are important to think of ahead of time. Be sure to know the avverage pay for that position and compare it with your hopes and previous pay. When asked about where you see yourself in the future talk about your morals and things that are important to you in your professional like.

The second article talked about how to properly handle illegal interviewing questions. Questions such as citizenship, age, and race fit this categorey. You can either answer the question if your comfortable, otherwise if it offends you, you should state that it does not seem relavent to the position you are interviewing for. Lastly there is a government organization that can help in illegl interviewing.

The third article was short and discussed important aspects of company's work environment. Aspects such as how employees are treated, the average week, and what can happen when someone makes a mistake. The best solution for this is to try to walk around and gain some insider info from present employees.
