·     Include any compliments you've received from management

·     Briefly describe one to three work projects that made you proud or earned promotions, praises, etc.

·     Everybody feels stress, but the degree varies.

·     Exercising, relaxing with a good book, socializing with friends or turning stress into productive energy are more along the 
   lines of the "correct" answers.

·     The interviewer is likely looking for a particular example of your problem solving skills and the pride you show for solving it.

·     Explain your career-advancement goals that are in line with the job for which you are interviewing.

·     Your interviewer is likely more interested in how he, she or the company will benefit from you achieving your goals than
    what you'll get from it.

·     It's not a good idea to tell your potential new boss that you'll be going after his or her job.

·     It's okay to mention that you'd like to earn a senior or management position.
