There are no good or bad answers in a job interview; all answers


are relevant as they show the personal way of reasoning and the speed of
adapting to certain situations. Candidates responses indicate motivation
and illustrate individual attitudes towards work/progress/team efforts.
By selecting applicants not only on basis of documents/official records,
but also, and mainly, on interviews, employers get to know as much as
possible about their potential employees experience, personality and
goals.
