Job interviews can be nerve-wracking. Even before you get there, you agonize about what to wear and how to do your hair. Then, once you arrive, you’re scrambling to sound smart and capable without stumbling over your words, rushing through your work history, or mixing up your dates of employment. While some people see interviews as no big deal, others would rather be doing just about anything else.
So how skilled of an interviewer are you? Are you the type who can waltz into an interview and blow the hiring manager away? Or do you tend to come off as nervous and ill-prepared? Are you constantly second-guessing your answers the minute you walk out of the room? Or are you so confident that you don’t even give it a second thought?
This quiz will put your job-hunting skills to the test. We’ll walk you through a typical interview and, based on your choices, will decide whether or not you’d get an offer. Ready to find out if you’re a dream candidate or a dud? Grab your briefcase and let’s get started!
