Trish Sadar's insight:
Interesting article. Asking the right questions, the right number of questions, with the right tone and interest is very important.
Some candidates may take themselves out of the running with some interviewers if they say that they don't have any questions. This may be perceived as lacking interest or motivation.
Take a read and let me know what you think.

#Detroit Secret Interview Questions Recruiters Ask "25 Mock Interview Questions" at http://t.co/Jly4zo0XxX #new #jobs http://t.co/a5TNuwc8vI
Trish Sadar's insight:
I know I have posted many sample questions and answer articles; however, this article provides some unique questions to think about as well.
Here are 3 of the questions from the 25 in the article:
Scoop.it!
It can be hard to stay positive while you are hunting for a job and get a rejection letter. After all, job hunting can be really tough, especially if it’s been some time since you were successful.
Trish Sadar's insight:
We have all had interviews that did not go the way that we imagined...right?
You could have been caught off guard, a question could have stumped you, you could have rambled, or you simply weren't in the zone that day. Its okay...it happens to the best of us!
I know that some of you have described the interview process as painful as dating. I guess that is somewhat true....you work towards searching for the right person (employer), you are invited on a date (interview), you wait eagerly for the call, and you hope to be called again. When you are hit by rejection whether it is with dating or a job position, it still hurts.
The key in interviewing, is to pick yourself up, learn from the interview, and keep moving forward. Each interview gives us with so many lessons that books can't teach you...about you and how you responded to different situations.
Ask yourself "what can I do the next interview to learn and prepare to put my best foot forward?"
Let me tell you about a bartender who was applying internally for their first management position. The interview didn't go so well, and an outside candidate was hired for the position. This person didn't let rejection hold them down. They sent a thank you letter to the Department Manager and the HR Manager. The letter asked them to keep them in mind if other management positions were available. Well, wouldn't you know it that manager didn't last more than a couple of weeks, and that person was called in and hired for the management position. (That story that I just shared was about ME!)
I had such wonderful mentors in my life that didn't let me give up, and allowed me to focus all of my energy on what I could do.
So....don't give up! I want to be here to help you through your major career decisions so you don't have to do it alone.
Thank you for honoring me by reading the posts!

You know the old saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” That’s especially true when it comes to a job interview.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Of course:
Arrive ten minutes early to the interview Bring extra copies of the resume (in case you interview with other people) dress to impress (dress professional) Polish up: Take that extra 2 minutes to make sure that from head to toe you are ready. that means from your head to your toes. Make sure your shoes are polished, your nails are trimmed and clean, your breath is fresh, etc.
Make it a great day!

I recently interviewed an excellent candidate for a position at our growing startup, Likeable Local. The woman had an incredible resume, an infectious personality, and, seemingly, a great work ethic.
Trish Sadar's insight:
This article made some excellent points:
1. Some employers may perceive a candidate saying that they do not have any questions for them as showing that they were not really interested.
This article states: Not asking questions "could be a fatal error, of course. By not asking questions, she told me she wasn’t truly interested in learning more, in creating value, and in our company."
2. When asking questions, make them about how you can contribute to the company instead of the other way around. You will sent a positive message.
Take a look at the 9 sample question this article suggests: (#1 and #2 are some of my favorite questions to ask!!) 1) Who would make the ideal candidate for this position? 2) How will the work I’ll be doing contribute to the organization’s mission? 3) What were the best things about the last person who held this position? 4) What are three ways I can contribute to the company beyond the job description? 5) How can I best contribute to the department’s goals? 6) How do you see me best contributing to the corporate culture and morale? 7) What do you see as the biggest challenges of working here and how can I overcome those challenges? 8) What is your vision for where the company or department will be in one year? In 3-5 years? 9) How can I best help you and the team succeed? Of course, the more research you do in advance, the more you can ask specific questions about the company’s recent news, blog posts, product launches, plans, etc. But here’s the bottom line
Hope you enjoy the article. Do you have some questions you could offer to our readers?
Make it a great day!

Trish Sadar's insight:
Yes some companies or some hiring managers still do ask unique interview questions. Every company and hiring manager has their own style and set of favorite questions.
What is important to know, is that questions like the ones mentioned in this article are still being asked. The question is what do you need to do to be prepared?
From my humble view: Most employers are looking to identify strengths in their candidates such as critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making.
The key is not to let the questions throw you off course. Stay true to who you are and remain professional. Use your critical thinking skills to explain how you arrived at a decision.

At the end of a presentation on “Interviewing Secrets” I delivered to a women’s professional networking group, I threw in some last minute comments on the latest trends in interviewing questions.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Companies like Zappos know the importance in hiring talent, not based on experience and capabilities alone; however, based on the FIT factor.
This article talks about how Fit is the new IT Factor and visa versa.
The article also has example interview questions that some companies are now using like, "From a scale of 1 to 10 how lucky are you."
I have always believed in hiring talented individuals who are aligned with the organization's mission, values, and service philosophy.
Of course it is a given that the candidates should meet the essential functions of the position and the requirements.
Hope you enjoy the article. Make it a great day!

I thoroughly enjoyed this article! I completely ate who does his/ or her homework about the job and the company has the advantage.
This article discusses how one candidate was hired over the other top candidates who simply read the company website for information.
"He was hired not because he was the smartest candidate, but because he showed curiosity and dedication by going a little further in interview preparation."
A careful research on the company would give better insight on typically,
