THe 5 types of interview questions:

All interview questions boil down to just five:

1. Why are you here?
   What is it about this place that attracted you?
2. What can you do for us?
   What do you have to contribute to what we do?
3. What distinguishes you from 19 other people who can do this same job?
   See your homework, above.
4. Will you fit in?
   Will you get along with, or irritate, all my other employees? And:
5. Can I afford you?
   Never do salary negotiation until – in the second, or third interview – they have definitely said they want you. Always let the employer name a figure first.

Week #2- Introduction to TED Talks

Introduction to TED Talks

Read about TED below:

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less).

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.

TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.

We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.

In fact, everything we do is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?
