Question: What do you want to do?

Yikes! The question you know they'll ask, but you're not prepared to answer. That's right, as soon as you meet them most employers want to know what you want to do. What happens when you find yourself stumbling around, ending with a jumbled response?

Don't get caught with a mumbling mess that sounds something like, "Well, I don't know what I want to do, but I love your company. I think I'd be a good fit for a lot of the positions you have to offer."

Instead, be honest and focused. You'll gain a lot more respect with something like this, "I can't pinpoint a job title, but I've looked at a few positions your company has to offer. I am most interested in the roles that would utilize my communication and organizational skills."
