Answering Interview Questions
Keeping a record of each interview you go on and job you apply for is mandatory when answering questions. You have to be able to quickly reference what companies you have interviewed with, when the interview took place, and whom it was with. A record will also help you keep track of the different jobs you have applied for and when.
Nothing is more embarrassing than receiving a call concerning a job you have applied for or interviewed for and then not being able to remember it.
Below are an INTERVIEW RECORD and a JOB APPLICATION RECORD. I suggest keeping two separate notebooks, one for JOB APPLICATIONS and one for INTERVIEWS.
