Job Search Advice, Resume Writing Tips from a Career Consultant

For those who believe that interviewing is just a matter of schmooze and that you can "wing it" check out the questions below. My colleague, Billie Sucher, gathered some tough interview questions and I'd like to do the same here at CareerBoard. Remember... interviewing is not the time to think... it's the time to perform. Send us some of YOUR tough questions!

• If we hire you, will we be taking a risk, or earning a reward, and why?
• In what ways do you support a company's vision and values and in what ways do you sabotage it?
• By your very nature, do you act or react and give us specific examples of your choice.
• Please describe three strategies you will use to contribute to our bottom line, and how long will it take for you to achieve same?
• Will you lead or will you follow and which do you think is more important in today's volatile climate?
• What can we expect from you as an employee and what do you expect from us an employer?
• Tell us something about you that only your mother would know.
• Are we better off with you, or without you, and how so?
• If you were a member of this Selection Committee, what is the single-most important question that we should be asking you, that we haven't?
• As a manager, do you implode or explode when things don't go your way and what happens after that?
