If you were to call me today regarding your interview skills, I would most likely spend some time asking you some pointed questions. Most times, after our discussion, we would decide together if you were truly prepared for your next interview.
Often times job seekers are over confident in their ability to interview. They believe they can just "wing it", put on a sharp suit, and let the resume do the talking. That is a big mistake. Here are a few of the questions, if answered honestly, can help determine if you are truly prepared.

-How many interviews have you been to in your lifetime?
For most people, its less than 5 -10 in their lifetime. Its easy to see how your interview skills become rusty.
-How did you feel as you walked into your most recent
interview?
Most people are nervous. That understandable, its a big opportunity that could change your life. But, with preparation comes confidence. You should walk in prepared and excited to have the opportunity.

-How much are you willing to sacrifice to improve your interview
