Reasons for leaving a job – the dreaded interview question!
So why did you leave your last job?
OK, so you are an honest person and your gut is telling you to say, “my manager was a complete asshole – he spent too much time with his head surgically attached to the owners butt that he made life hell for me”. While that is a completely valid motive, you still need come up with something slight more diplomatic for your interview.
41 Questions to Ask at a Job Interview
It could perhaps be the most horrid part of the job interview – “So, do you have any questions you would like to ask us?” – Aaarrrgh! You know fine well that a sheepish smile while shaking your head and saying “Nah I’m good thanks” isn’t exactly what they want to hear!
Attending An Interview – Some Basic Job Interview Tips
For most people, the job interview can be one of the most nerve wracking points in their career, especially early on. You get told about the interview for a job you really want – then you spend the next few days (or even weeks) worrying about how it will go! After all, this could be your big break – what if you screw it up?
This doesn’t need to be the case. It is natural to get nervous before important events in your life – you can turn this fear into your ally that will help you succeed at your interview…
The Subtle Interview Factors That Can Impact Your Chance of Success
Lots of people talk about the key factors to acing your interview, but what about the subtle and seemingly unimportant factors that people often don’t consider? This article at Guardian Jobs looks at some of the points, but I’d like to explore it further.
Tough Interview Questions (and an attempt at answering them)

What does OTE really mean? All that glitters isn’t gold
This is a commonly asked question by those just starting out in their careers or possibly simply moving into a new profession. The simple answer is that it means “On Target Earnings” (or “Opportunity to Earn” is sometimes also used).

Feng Shui and the Art of Recruitment
What does feng shui have to do with recruitment, you may ask? On the surface, very little, however, if we really think about it, recruitment draws upon many ancient rituals and customs – some good, some not so good.

Projecting the Right Body Language in a Job Interview
Preparation for a job interview is essential for success, but polishing up you resume and ensuring that clothing is pristine is not all you need to do to land a job. It is important to realize that monitoring your body language, and taking great care in how you present yourself non-verbally, is just as important as what you and your resume have to say. By following some of these tips on body language, you will be prepared to effectively communicate your level of professionalism with verbal and nonverbal actions.
What is your expected salary? Dodging that awkward interview question…
“What are your salary expectations?”
Not an easy question to answer at your interview – as I’ve looked at other tough interview situations over the past few weeks (such as “reasons for leaving your job“), I thought it was worth covering how to deal with being asked what salary you expect to get.
