They do love those names; there's a couple of gords and a cam in the office. Maybe a lot of scotch people came here originally or something

I think I'd rather have no job than have to pretend to respond willingly to some of these questions.

More real ones:

"Aside from professional skills and abilities, what can you personally bring to the team?"'

"If offered the position would you take it?"

"If offered the position how would you manage the transition from your former position?"

A sense of reality, jerk.

"If offered the position would you take it?"

If you don't ask any more stupid questions, yea.

"If offered the position how would you manage the transition from your former position?"

I'd tell them to fu8k off. It's either them or you. Your choice

Default Re: Interview Questions

In a recent interview I had:

Why Canada?

What aspects of your current job do you find challenging and how do you deal with it?

How would you cope with new challenges (re the potential new job in Canada)

The usual examples of leadership/teamwork/

Then I also had questions specific to the industry I am in (expat tax)
