17. What interests you about our product or service?

With this question, the interviewer does not really want to hear every opinion you have. Give them facts. I’m sure your college has a resource where you could look up such things like company revenue, company growth, company age, executive management, competition or anything else that is helpful.

So, if you were to take these numbers and information and make answers out of them, it may look like this:

Company revenue and company growth – if the company is growing (which you only want to work for one that is), say that you want to work for a progressive company because their revenue has increased x amount and you feel that there is opportunity to make a career there. Come prepared with numbers and all this information on a piece of paper. Simply cut and paste your college logo and their corporate logo and you have a simple presentation that your competition will not.

Company Age – if the company is young, tell them that you want a small company which has a lot of potential. If the company is older and bigger, tell the interviewer that you feel that at a company like ________, if you work hard, you can make a great career for yourself. Play all aspects into a positive.

Executive management – if you want to reference an article about one of the executives, bring a printed copy of the article with the points highlighted. Just by doing this, you have probably done more research on the executives than the person who is interviewing you. Remember, this person wants to look for their boss too. So, when their boss asks how the interview went, they can present all the material you gave them. This is probably a big experience for the interviewer as well and they want justification as to why they are going to hire you. Give them that justification.

18. Why did you select your college or university?

If you discuss how good your college’s x, y or z program is and you begin talking your college up, they are going to be bored listening to you. I can promise you one thing about the “real world.” The college degree just becomes something on your resume. I deal with executive level job seekers all the time. I have seen Harvard MBAs not have a job (2 in the past 5 months) and I have seen people who went to colleges I have never heard of become a key member within an organization. If you want some validation on this comment, go to any college website and you will see individuals who were able to donate millions to the college because they went out and became successful.

If you were to say things like: (and don’t feel as if you have to justify these answers, make them a statement and move on)

“I couldn’t afford x or y college. Simple as that.”

“It was just a toss-up between x or y college and I pretty much took a leap of faith and it really worked out”

“I know you don’t get this answer very much, nor do I like to give it, but in all honesty when I was coming out of college, two of my friends were going to ________ and I felt like being far away, but close to home. When I got to school, I worked hard, I learned a lot and, in the end, I’m glad that this reason made me go to x university.”

“I had a scholarship and how many people get to say that they got a free education worth over $100,000 while playing ___________.”

Attack on a religious school killing 83 innocent human beings Justified????

Yesterday Pervaiz Musharraf and Bush together attacked a relgious school killing 83 innocent human beings many of them young children who were memorizing Quran and learning basics of Islam Bush and Mush claim that these students were getting training for Jihad. But the question is that Mush could have arrested these people and brought in the court and would have submitted proofs etc. After all Mush has put top opposition leaders like Javaid Hashmi who is also a member of the parlaiment for years and has prevented other oppostion leaders e.g. Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and Benzair Bhutto from coming back to Pakistan. All the courts are working under Mush as he has made them to take oath on his laws and those judges who refused to take oath on this dictator were sent home. So what justification Mush and Bush has to kill so many people without any just trial. Isn’t it the same what Bush is doingin Guantanmo Bay and Abu Ghraib jail? Is this Western civilization???? Will this bring love?

no killing is justified. if u cannot give life, u do not have the right to take away life.
as for the moral aspect of the question, both Bush and Musharraf will have to answer on the day of judgement.

this is not western civilization, this is just some power hungry individuals, who stoop to conquer.
