This page was created to help the job applicant become more prepared for the interview process.  It was NOT designed to help the applicant 'fool' a hiring authority but rather help him eliminate the 'should of…could of…would of…' from the process.  The valued employee, who has stayed with a company for several years, is usually a little 'rusty' in remembering the steps of the interview.  On the other hand, the 'job hopper' usually does very well in the hiring process and needs very little prep help.
