Tough Interview Question 30: If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?

Focus on a key turning point in your life or missed opportunity. Yet also tie it forward to what you are doing to still seek to make that change.

For example: “Although I’m overall very happy with where I’m at in my life, the one aspect I likely would have changed would be focusing earlier on my chosen career. I had a great internship this past year and look forward to more experience in the field. I simply wish I would have focused here earlier. For example, I learned on my recent internship…” …then provide examples.

Stay focused on positive direction in your life and back it up with examples.

Tough Interview Question #29: How Has Your Education Prepared You for Your Career?

There are two parts two this question.

The first is to explain how your education helped you with both a good foundation AND an understanding of the way it is concretely applied in the real world. In other words, no one wants to hire someone with just book knowledge. They want to hire someone who has practical experience. Make it clear that there were two parts to your education--the foundation and the practical.

The second part is to give the interviewer specific examples of the difference.
