Job interview

Although I've got the "Steel Bowl" as a primary school teacher, I'm still very much interested in learning the survival skill in the office. I have numerous experience of interview, some of them turned out to be wonderful, while others remain the embarassing moments in my life.
I believe work interview is an art of quick thinking and presentation, it is also a chance to examine how much you know yourself.
I came across this article and found it very thought-provoking. Exception below is the part I found interesting. You can check the original article by click on the link above. Some of them are rather tricky!!

4. Do you consider yourself successful?You should always answer yes and briefly
explain why. A goodexplanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some
and areon track to achieve the others.
7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A widevariety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.Have some good ones handy to mention.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focuson this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else isa
distraction.
10. Do you know anyone who works for us?Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. Thiscan affect your answer even though they asked about friends notrelatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thoughtof.
11. What kind of salary do you need?A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a widerange.
12. Are you a team player?You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team ratherthan for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.
examples.
