 . Can you tell me a little about yourself?

This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but it's crucial. Here's the deal: Don't give your complete employment (or personal) history. Instead give a pitch—one that’s concise and compelling and that shows exactly why you’re the right fit for the job. Start off with the 2-3 specific accomplishments or experiences that you most want the interviewer to know about, then wrap up talking about how that prior experience has positioned you for this specific role.


2. How did you hear about the position?

Another seemingly innocuous interview question, this is actually a perfect opportunity to stand out and show your passion for and connection to the company. For example, if you found out about the gig through a friend or professional contact, name drop that person, then share why you were so excited about it. If you discovered the company through an event or article, share that. Even if you found the listing through a random job board, share what, specifically, caught your eye about the role.


3. What do you know about the company?

Any candidate can read and regurgitate the company’s “About” page. So, when interviewers ask this, they aren't necessarily trying to gauge whether you understand the mission—they want to know whether you care about it. Start with one line that shows you understand the company's goals, using a couple key words and phrases from the website, but then go on to make it personal. Say, “I’m personally drawn to this mission because…” or “I really believe in this approach because…” and share a personal example or two.


4. Why do you want this job?

Again, companies want to hire people who are passionate about the job, so you should have a great answer about why you want the position. (And if you don't? You probably should apply elsewhere.) First, identify a couple of key factors that make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I love customer support because I love the constant human interaction and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone solve a problem"), then share why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve always been passionate about education, and I think you guys are doing great things, so I want to be a part of it”).


5. Why should we hire you?

This interview question seems forward (not to mention intimidating!), but if you're asked it, you're in luck: There's no better setup for you to sell yourself and your skills to the hiring manager. Your job here is to craft an answer that covers three things: that you can not only do the work, you can deliver great results; that you'll really fit in with the team and culture; and that you'd be a better hire than


6. What are your greatest professional strengths?

When answering this question, interview coach Pamela Skillings recommends being accurate (share your true strengths, not those you think the interviewer wants to hear); relevant (choose your strengths that are most targeted to this particular position); and specific (for example, instead of “people skills,” choose “persuasive communication” or “relationship building”). Then, follow up with an example of how you've demonstrated these traits in a professional setting.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Liula [17]

Answer:

The orange tabby cat sat on the windowsill with the crooked tail.

Explanation:

Misplaced modifiers are phrases, words, or clauses which are <u>mistakenly separated</u> from the <u>nouns </u>they modify. They can be misplaced adjectives, misplaced phrases, or misplaced adverbs.  

In the sentence ‘The orange tabby cat sat on the windowsill with the crooked tail’, <u>with the crooked tail</u> is a misplaced phrase. This phrases modifies cat, but it is used after windowsill.  

Its correct version is: The orange tabby cat with the crooked tail sat on the windowsill.

luda_lava [24]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from The Land:

Willie Thomas hauled off and slapped Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand. "Don't ya get smart wit' me!" Mitchell turned his head at the impact, but he didn't fall back. It was as if he had already braced himself for the attack. "You done had somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I knows it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I gets the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya done!"

Willie’s motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is:

A) worried about losing his job.

B) angry that he cannot control the situation.

C) anxious about failing at his job.

D) worried about ruining his reputation.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) worried about losing his job.

Explanation:

In this excerpt we can see that Willie's extrinsic motivation is that he is afraid of losing his job. This extrinsic motivation involves something external, that is, it does not come from a person: in this case it would be that he could lose his job because of the state of Ghost Wind.

He will be at fault, and that is what leads him to slap Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
