It's internship season. Are you ready for the job hunt?

Does this sound like you in an interview?

"Yes... No... No... Yes... Uh, yes..."

Don't be a lame duck. Never ever answer a "yes" or "no" question with just a "yes" or "no." Always follow up with examples. It can be the most basic question:

"Are you a senior?"

"Yes."

Don't stop there. Follow up.

"I'mgraduating in May with a degree in graphic design (or creativewriting). Currently, I'm studying (name courses that are relevant tothe position)."

When I interview candidates I sometimespause when the person gives a single-word answer. I'm hoping he/shetakes the hint and follows through. Quite a few don't. (Andinterviewers aren't always so helpful.)

This is your time totell the interviewer as much as possible about you. They don't have thetime, nor do they care to drag the information out of you. Sometimesyou'll run across bad interviewers. That's when you take control byfeeding them information about you. Make sure they walk away knowingwhy you're the best candidate.

Anyone who watches truTV knows the only time you give one-word answers is during an interrogation. (And make sure your lawyer is present.)

On another note...
