Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Try to expand your answers to interview questions to include brief anecdotes that illustrate your skills and abilities in action in the workplace. Relate your experience to situations that may arise at the company to which you are applying to show how you would be a valuable addition.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: (1) The warm-up: This is the most important stage. Interviewers will make important decisions about you based on their first impression. Sell yourself nonverbally. Offer a firm but gentle handshake; use the interviewer's name; smile. Let the interviewer begin the discussion.
(2) The question-and-answer stage: Let the interviewer lead the conversation. Try to tailor your answers to make a favorable impression. Be sure to ask questions of your own about the job and the company. Explain how you will be able to help the company meet its needs. (3) The close: Pay attention to the interviewer's signals that the interview is ending. Thank the interviewer and express your enthusiasm for the job and the organization.
