Job Interview Questions and Answers

Question 35.  Have you ever held a position that wasn't right for you? 

One can answer this question either yes or no, but answering "no" would be better.  If you answer yes, then you need to explain the mistake you made in exercising good judgment, and a good reason is always the lure of more money.  For example, one might answer:  "A good friend of mine convinced me that I could make six figures quite easily selling real estate, so I gave up my job as an office manager and jumped right in.  I soon realized I wasn't cut out for that world because there were too many players and I didn't have the necessary connections.  Had I known that fewer than 10% of real estate agents manage to make a decent living, I never would have entered the field.  I stayed in real estate for a year before I realized I was not going to make a six figure income, so I quit and found another position as an office manager, which is work that I am good at and like doing."
