Ms Dohmen did a great job at shedding light on how to answer the most common interview questions.  Every wonder why you never got a call back after an interview?

The cold hard truth is, people don’t know what the interviewer really want.  Ms Dohmen does an amazing job at showing us how to tackle these questions. After hearing Ms Dohmen’s tips, I was blown away.  It all made sense as to why I struggled finding a carer I loved whenever I graduated.  I didn’t know how I was supposed to answer these common interview questions.  This could be the reason why you haven’t found your dream job.
