Maneuvering Tough Interview Questions Well

There is always something about a person or resume that may spark tough questions. Here are some thoughts on how to answer these like a pro. 1) Your resume shows you have bounced from job to job or city to city. When interviewer asks why you move so much, a good answer may be that you like to seek out challenges and that all your past jobs have given you a variety of skills that you believe you can implement at this new job. Also emphasize that you want to continue to grow so they know you will be someone who sticks around! 2) You may be young and not had a lot of work experience. Sometimes you have to do a lot of grunt work at entry level positions. They may ask things like "How do you feel about making copies and getting coffee?" Your answer could be genuine - I hate that ...but I will do anything needed for a great job and a great boss and in time I hope I will prove myslef more valuable and give me more to do. That shows you have a positive attitude and want to grow. 3) The inevitable question if you are leaving a job is why are you leaving? One answer is that you like your job but believe this is a unique opportunity that you cannot pass up. That kind of answer does not disparage your current employer and shows you are a go-getter!
