    How do you answer difficult questions in a job interview? How do you guess the correct response? Without a deeper understanding of why certain questions are asked it’s nearly impossible. It’s important to know what’s behind specific queries to provide the winning answers.

    Surprise. Confusion. Frustration. That’s what a lot of people feel when they face an unexpected or tricky question in a job interview. There’s an antidote to these negative reactions: understanding. If you understand the logic and goals behind the tough questions, you can prepare your strategies and answers beforehand.
