Determining in advance what types of questions might be asked of you and how you would respond to those questions is critical to successful interviewing. The goal of this project is to provide skills in interview preparation by familiarizing you with the various types and categories of interview questions used by recruiters. By combining the textbook materials, the PowerPoint lectures, any Discussion Sessions that you attend, tests and web research, you should be able to respond to the questions typically asked in interviews. Tailor your questions and answers to fit your specific situation.INSTRUCTIONS:Read Chapters 17, 18 and 19 in the textbook. The figures listed with the project refer to the class textbook Career Planning Strategies: Hire Me! (5th Edition). Focus on Behavioral Situations as you answer interviewer questions. Use the S.T.A.R. and Z.A.P. approaches in responding to anticipated questions as discussed in the textbook, Discussion Sessions, and lectures. Respond to each of your ten questions as you might in an interview situation with two to four paragraphs for each question. Each response should be one to three minutes when read aloud.
