Oct 03, 2007 07:33
We've all been there: After days of prep, you're
in the hot seat, meeting person after person in
what are seemingly endless rounds of interviews,
trying to secure that shiny new job you've had
your eye on. You spend the day answering all
sorts of questions, helping the interviewers
learn more about you.

Rands has a great series of articles on the job acquisition process, and in this article, they describe how to find and use what they call "the button", the weak spot in your interviewer's armor through which you can extract extremely useful information about the person and the company. Worth a read!
