Exactly the same question
When you prepare for interviews it is good practice to prepare 'your' answers to common interview questions and expected technical, industry and discipline specific questions. Prepare by practicing what to say and how to say it in advance. For those who disagree or attempt to justify this type of behaviour with the old adages "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" or "a girl's gotta eat", you will most often find careers filled with short term jobs that even though they started off as permanent positions, wind up being listed as 'temporary' or 'contract', or in which the person is frequently 'laid off', usually for no fault of their own of course; and there are always a variety of very good reasons why there is not any way to get references from anybody but a colleague or supervisor and one who is no longer with the organization and whose own employment can't be verified.
With may interview questions nevertheless you will find just desired answers; and the issue most interviewees face is the desired answer can differ from interviewer to interviewer and from company to company. Exactly the same question, asked by the same interviewer, in exactly the same company, can even have a different desired answer for different positions, but that's a topic for another time. What I do know is that every perfect answer I've ever heard to an interview question had one common element; and because it was 'perfect' could work to the benefit of the interviewee, even if it was not the desired answer. It's great old honesty and truth of course, just like we were taught as kids. Accounting Interview Questions and Answers
In preparing for a meeting it's important to prepare yourself to be honest and true to you. Do not prepare what you believe is the expected or desired answer if it's not the truth, the entire truth... well you know the oath. You expect the interviewer to be honest and truthful about your prospective employer and the job do not you? So why is it that so many jobseekers and some of those helping them to prepare for interviews believe that deception, distortion of facts, and lies of omission are acceptable so as to secure work.
