FREE Interactive Job-Seeker Webinar: How Do You Handle Those Killer Interview Questions? In today's competitive job market, employers are looking for the "perfect" candidate, and they have lots of choices.

What if the interviewer says to you "Why did you fail at that project?" or "Why were you in the one percent who your employer laid off?" or "Why would you want this job? It's considerably more junior than you/pays far less than your previous job?" and even worse - "How can I be sure you're really committed to this job and are not just using it until something better materializes?" .
Ouch! In today's shoppers' market, these are some of the tricky questions that so many of us will have to answer.
