It can spring up near the beginning of an official interview, or sneak up before the meeting is about to close. Regardless of the circumstances, it is vital to answer the most important questions that surface between decision-makers and prospective employees.

Factor 1. The First Impression.
There's a saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. This is especially true in an interview. Most interviewers make their minds up in the first five seconds as to whether you are right for the company or not. If they like what they see, statistics show you are 80% of the way to getting the job.

You did it!
You landed an interview, dressed to impress, had great conversation and you think you might actually have a shot at getting a job offer.

But is there any way to actually know if the interview was in your favor?

If you read many books on job interviews, you'll notice that some feed you lists of interview questions that you should learn answers to. But an interview is not an interrogation; it's a conversation. Thus, I believe the best way to prepare for an interview is to come armed with a multitude of small stories about both your business and personal life.

This is the most comprehensive list of questions commonly asked in Job Interviews, why they are asked, if they have any hidden motives and exactly how to answer them!
