Here are a few standard interview questions everyone should be able to answer with confidence. The trick is to keep it ALL positive.
So, tell me a little bit about your last job. What were your job responsibilities?
Why did you leave your last job? Or why are you looking for a new job?
What is it that interests you about this job?
Write down your answers, either as a reply to this post or on a sheet of paper at home. See what you come up with. Of course, you're open to critique if you reply here
Thanks for giving me the opportunity, my head is swimming with this stuff and I appreciate someone putting it into perspective.
I AM surprised there are not more people out there who are not in similar situations or care about how to "do" an interview. I guess, like myself, most of us cooks aren't usually subject to the 3rd degree, corporate stuff.
Anyway, the first 2 ?'s are easy enough for me not to mention them here.
The 3rd I find modestly challanging. What I would say off the cuff is that is that it's a big company and a leader in it's field which would provide someone like me with a lot of growth/education/relocation possibilities.

A little trick I learned years ago. Ask the person you are interviewing to follow you either to the kitchen or to your office down the hall . Walk briskly, if he or she does not keep up with you, assume this is the way they will move in kitchen. Have a napkin, knife or fork on the floor, if he or she walks past it without picking it up, usually means works careless. Over the years on average I find this has worked.for me.
