some job interviewers ask tough questions to trip you up or to get you to reveal information you may be trying to conceal. others want to get a better sense of your thought process or see how you respond under pressure.

whatever the reason, you’ll want to be prepared.in her book “301 smart answers to tough interview questions,” vicky oliver says in order to prevail, you need to “trounce your competition.”

不管原因是什么，你都要做好準備。薇姬·奧利弗(vicky oliver)在她所寫的《尖鉆面試問題的301個機智回答：》一書中說，為了獲勝，你需要“打敗你的競爭對手。”

“you could be competing against someone with three times your experience, or conversely, against someone who can do the job at half your salary level,” she says.

“你的競爭對手可能有你三倍多的經驗，或相反，他的工作能力也許只夠得上你工資水平的一半。”她說。
