    I loved this article. I used alot of ideas from it for a telephone interview I just completed. I felt much more relaxed when I was able to have an idea as to what may be asked. I jotted down a few notes just to refresh my memory before the interview. I couldn't believe it though, the phone interview (the stomach flutters) before they called was as if I had actually walked into the interview room, lol. I did well in the interview because I felt confident.

    I use all of these, except asking what animal. However I do like that one and may add it. I agree that it could shed some light on the individual's personality type, which is often important in determining if this person will mesh well with the rest of the employees. In addition, I like to ask "what do you know about our company?". I figure that if someone really wants to work here, they would have taken the time to at least "google" us and find out a little about us.

    I've never been asked what animal i would be... but dog sounds better than chimp. Chimp implies you like being silly? Dog is better for the same reasons bobdelta said

    I think the animal question depends on the job position. I was thinking along the lines of dworths50, a dog for a sales position? It can be very friendly but aggressive when it has to be.

    dworths50 / these are very helpful tools that helped me in considering what to study for in my next interview. On the animal question what do you think about a chimp or dog ???

    Very good questions that need to be thought about. The answers to these are so important. I Just had an interview yesterday for a part ime job and these are the very questions that were asked(except for the animal one).
