What can happen when you're not prepared. Inspired by the JobMob article 444 Most Popular Job Interviewer Questions To Prepare Yourself With, my friend and job search coach Lavie Margolin has just published "Winning Answers to 500 Interview Questions". For this book, his 5th, Lavie invited me to write the foreword, and here it is now, all for you: I remember my first job interview. I was lucky, I didn’t even have to apply for the job. A friend of mine had a marketing position for a small web design company in downtown Montreal (Canada) and they were looking to add someone just like him to their team. I didn’t have any much marketing experience but this was a junior position and as a Computer Science major, I had spent more time online than pretty much anyone else I knew. My friend was able to get me the interview invite simply by mentioning to his boss that yes, he did actually know someone who might be a good fit. One phone call later and I was all set with a date and time bright and early in the morning a few days later. I did no homework for the interview.
