Answer to #1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Brief stories can be more memorable and effective than straightforward facts or unsupported statements. Make sure to stay on topic and answer the interviewer's questions as comprehensively as you can. Expand on simple yes and no statements to provide more information.

Answer to #2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Clothing and grooming reveal something about your personality, professionalism, and ability to sense the unspoken rules of a situation. When dressing for interviews, always err on the conservative side, especially if you are not familiar with the dress standards at the company to which you are applying. Dress professionally and seriously, and you will be taken seriously.

Answer to #3

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Use the information you discover to give the interviewer an opportunity to talk about his or her own interests and experiences for a moment, which builds rapport and might reveal vital insights into the career path you are considering.

Answer to #4

Answer: In a behavioral interview, candidates are asked to describe how they handled actual situations from their past. In a situational interview, candidates are asked to explain how they would handle various hypothetical situations.

Answer to #5

Answer: Typical employment interviews include the screening stage, the selection stage, and the final stage. Screening stage interviews focus on screening out unqualified applicants. Selection stage interviews allow the organization to identify top candidates, who may receive job offers or be invited to attend a final stage interview. Final stage interviews usually involve a higher-ranking executive who can make a hiring decision and negotiate the terms of an offer.
