The rule is that not the best qualified candidates get job. Your on-site
performance plays a big role. Here are some easily forgettable points.
 | 90% interviewing questions raised based on your own resume. |
 | eye-to-eye contact, smiling all the way. don't miss anyone in the corner.
|
 | asking easier and relevant questions back to the interviewers
occasionally. |
 | be honest to answer technical questions, you are not expert to know
everything. |
 | don't let your boss feel you might be a threat to take his position. |
 | don't be critical, focus on what you can do. |
 | try to be humor to show your smartness. |
 | don't act in a superior way. |
 | Find right time to raise questions AND answer those questions to show your
strength. Just mentioning RMI a few times may prompt the interviewer to ask
you some questions on that. And if you know it thoroughly... ;) |
- How to deal with a question that is inappropriate?
 | Briefly answer the question and move to a new topic. |
 | Ignore the question and redirect the discussion toward a different
topic. |
 | If the question is blatant and offensive, you have every right to
terminate the interview and walk out. |
 | Don't answer the question, but answer the intent behind the question.
|
For instance, if the interviewer asks, "Who is going to take care of your
children when you have to travel?" You might answer, "I can meet the travel
and work schedule that this job requires." Or if he/she asks, "Are you
planning a family in the future?" You might say, "Right now I am focused on my
career and as a family is always an option, it is not a priority right now."
