Interview Questions - What do they REALLY want to know?

I'm sure everyone has wondered this. Interviewers always ask you very open-ended questions with the intentions of not only getting to know you better, but to truly understand your inner-workings and to see if you'll be a good fit for their office culture. Below is a link to a great article outlining several very common questions that you could be asked during an interview, along with an explanation as to what exactly they're trying to find out about you...

If you're out looking in the job market for something new (or you're currently unemployed), now's your chance to take your search a step further and properly educate yourself so that when you do land that interview, you'll be well prepared, and that much more likely to actually get the job.

Find a Job! - "Social Jobs Partnership" Facebook page

Hello again everyone! I can't take credit for finding this. My dear friends over at LH (Lifehacker.com) wrote this article and I felt it must be shared! Times are tough, and if you're out of a job... Those times are a million times worse. Take a look below at this great new resource!

It's no secret that millions of people are having a hard time finding work. The US Labor Department's new Social Jobs Partnership page on Facebook is designed to connected these job-seekers with little-known career resources and job openings. Right now the page is in development, but you can see organizations and services listed in the career resources section such as the National Association of Colleges and Employers, DirectEmployers, and Job Corps. The Labor Department's My Skills My Future website is one of the resources linked; it helps people find alternative careers based on their current skills. The Facebook page promises to be sort of an online job fair mixed with career counseling tools and information. Given Facebook's popularity, it has great potential, and this is one Facebook page we hope will be a great success.
