Handle the difficult questions
Excerpted from From Here to There by Larry Stuenkel
These questions are similar to what you can expect during a real interview. Being prepared will enable you to think on your feet.

The suggested replies, excerpted from From Here to There by Larry Stuenkel, aren't intended to give you one correct answer. Rather, the answers should reflect your personal frame of reference, based on your motives, goals, work skills and aspirations. The replies are meant to stimulate your thinking, not to be memorized.

Q. How have you changed the nature of your job?

This question allows you to refer to your significant accomplishments and responsibilities and show how you have made changes in your work area. Every quantitative bullet point in your resume has changed the nature of your job. Without trying to be repetitive, use your resume as an interviewing script, especially for this question.
