No Wrong Answers?

A lot of people have asked me what are the correct answers to typical interview questions that get asked.  The thing is though, a lot of times there are no "right" answers.  Let me say that again...

There are no "right" answers.

Sure, the interviewer might be looking for a certain point about team skills, ability to solve problems, etc, but there are going to be others that they had not thought of as well.  The main point here is that once you choose an answer, back it up.  There is a reason you chose it.  So tell them why.  If you can do that, your answer may turn out to be better than anything they had heard before.

And of course, be honest.  Don't make up some completely bogus answer just so you can tell them what you think they want to hear.
