Prepare for the I01
A basic key to a successful interview is preparation. Even though you can
never predict every question you will be asked, in most instances you can
accurately predict 95 percent or more of the questions you must respond
to. Most, perhaps all, of these questions will be similar in intent to the
101 questions found here. As you anticipate how you would respond if
you encounter each of these questions in an interview, remember that you
are formulating your strategy for a response. You should not try to
determine the exact words you would use and then memorize them. To
do this would be a big mistake. At best, your answer would likely sound
memorized and you would greatly diminish your credibility. At worst, you
might forget your memorized response in the middle of your answer!
