Chapter 5: How to Answer the Top Interview Questions

Most job seekers see an interview as an interrogation process while in actual fact, an interview is a discussion between…

Well… two potential colleagues.

Yet, there are tonnes of interview questions every job seeker should expect. Depending on the interview, you may be asked different types of questions. While it is impossible to predict all the questions to expect, here are guides to the common interview questions and how to answer them.

Chapter 6: Best Salary Negotiation Tips

The part of an interview that scares most job seekers is the salary negotiation stage.  Because of the desire to get a job, most people shy away from discussing their salary during the interview, only to get the job and find out that

They either are earning a lot less than their other colleagues in the same company or they are earning less than their mates in other industries.

Another thing that keeps people from getting a good bargain is usually because they are scared of the actual fact of negotiation.

Here are a few guides to help you master the art of salary negotiation.
