The traditional job interview uses broad-based questions such as, "why do you want to work for this company," and "tell me about your strengths and weaknesses." Interviewing success or failure are more often based on the ability of the candidate to communicate than on the truthfulness or content of their answers. Employers are looking for the answer to three questions: does the candidate have the skills and abilities to perform the job; does the candidate possess the enthusiasm and work ethic that the employer expects; and will the candidate be a team player and fit into the organization.
