PART I

THE RULES OF

THE GAME

The interviewer’s most critical question in a job inter-
view is often the last one.

The interviewer’s last question is frequently the most important one.
That’s when the interviewer smiles and says: “Now, do you have
questions for us?” Your response at this point often determines if
you continue as a job seeker or transform into a job getter.
There are great questions and dumb questions and, worst of all,
no questions at all. This book prepares you for the most neglected
part of the job interview: the opportunity for you to ask questions.
Part I outlines some rules and principles you can apply in your
questioning so that you ask more of the former and fewer of the
latter.
But first a quiz.

what behavior do you think recruiters find most unforgivable?

1. Poor personal appearance
