I am quoted in an interview on the best strategy for answering common interview questions. ADVANCE is a site dedicated to medical laboratory professionals but the advice is transferable to most fields.
Some of the interview questions addressed in the article are the following:
Why did you leave your last position?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Tell me about yourself.
What are your weaknesses?

No Tie, No Second Interview
It is always interesting to look back on professional mistakes that we made along the way, especially those that seem so obvious in retrospect:
When I graduated college with a degree in marketing, I applied to several advertising agencies, public relations firms and marketing companies. Securing interviews was no problem but actually getting called back for the second round was a real challenge. I had read that advertising professionals are more laid back in the office and do not wear a suit or a tie. To show that I could fit in, I went to every interview with just a button down shirt and slacks (no suit and no tie). It took me a while to realize that I had to dress more professionally in order to be taken seriously on an interview, no matter what the regular corporate culture. Once I started dressing more professionally, I started getting call backs for additional rounds of interviews.
