There are various types of questions asked at a job interview. Most job
interviews start with chit-chat type of questions. They are designed to break the ice and get the conversation flowing. Examples are questions like \\Most of these just require a \problem\type of response; you can elaborate if you wish. However, ensure
that you don't provide information that will give them a bad
impression. If you say something like \traffic was so bad; I hate traveling to this side of town\it would not do you good. If this is the place where you would be working, they would automatically be worried that you will be late for work everyday. More questions will be asked to find out a bit more about you. They might
be historical questions regarding your previous employment or education, or they may be hypothetical questions starting with \if...?\These
are aimed at finding out how you would handle a situation or at finding out your personal views in certain areas.
Whenever answering a job interview question, give as much information as you can. Tell them why, where, when and how. In other words use examples to prove what you are saying. Make a statement, then support it by giving an example of a situation and how you handled it.

For students who want to know how to write a résumé, Professor Carson has suggested some techniques. First, whenever possible, use exact numbers. A number is worth 1,000 words. .
.
People do react to numbers! Numbers are alive and powerful. They create vivid images in our minds. General statements are easy to ignore. Be specific and use numbers when describing your duties and achievements. Don't say \
turnover\Don't say \teaching experience\Say \teaching hours\Better still, say something like \teaching hours\—the more precise a figure is, the more real it becomes.
Second, you should sell benefits, not skills. Holiday companies don't sell holidays. They sell relaxation, adventure, sun, sea and sand, which are the benefits of a holiday. You should not sell your skills since many other people have the same skills. You should sell the benefits of your skills. When you write down your skills and past duties, be careful to explain their benefits to the employer.
Third, you should try to meet your employer's needs. Employers want people who can solve problems, not create them! Your résumé and cover letter should show how you can solve the employer's problems and meet their needs. And in addition to the skills or needs shown in a job advertisement, an employer may have other needs. You should identify these additional needs and show how you can satisfy them too. But concentrate first on the needs listed in the job advertisement. Your additional solutions should come later, after you already have the employer's attention.
