Re: Re: Number 1 mistake to not avoid during an interview

Nice one. One of my favourites is "Why <job title>?" You'd be surprised at the number of people who can't answer that. It's a pretty good way to find out how interested someone is in their career though.

From the other side of the table, I usually kill them with "So, what do I have to offer you to hire you away from here?" If they can answer instantly, run , they have already left. If they would never leave the collective, run . Otherwise, they at least had to think, which makes an impression. Then you explain the above, which really makes an impression.
