Then there was me. And the poor man next to me who'd had a heart attack. Oh and the girl who severely sprained her ankle on… Continue

The best way to target your interview answers without sucking up to the interviewer: Know Thyself

I often advise candidates on targeting their answers in a job interview. But sometimes this gets misinterpreted.
