8 Websites That Give You Tips On Job Interview Questions and Answers

Facing a job interview board probably comes right below public speaking on a fear list. Many of us liken it to a third-degree interrogation. But heck, do a few and you'll find it's not too bad at all. Every veteran interviewee will tell you that being prepared is half the battle won. A technical interview might be a different ball game though.

Sometimes, the most matter of fact questions can knock you off kilter. The tell me about yourself' interview ice-breaker makes the most difficult interview questions' list quite often. A smart off the cuff answer works, but it works better if you have the answer prepared.

If preparation is the key, browse through these eight interview websites and bulletproof your job search with the wealth of technical and non-technical interview questions and answers listed there.

CareerCup

Careercup is a resource of tech interview questions from companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and a lot of others. The site was started in 2005, so to date the bank of questions is 3,000 strong. You can trawl through the questions by using the dropdown for Companies, Job Titles, and Topics. The answers and solutions are supplied by the community of readers. You can add your own interview questions and also engage with others in the chat room.

Glassdoor

We have featured this free career website and community before but it was as a salary comparison tool. Since then, the site has come out of beta and developed into a deeper microscope for the job market with company reviews, salary comparisons, and interview tips. The site lists interview questions across the spectrum of job listings from sales to technology. The site is well organized with each company getting a page that starts with an overview and hives off into details like interview difficulty rating, questions asked, and other information like background checks, interview schedules, etc. It's definitely is one of the better job information sites out there.

Monster

The go-to site for career and job listing information has a well covered career advice section with a section devoted to interviewing. Check out all the articles listed under The Tough Questions. A few hints from How to Answer Five Difficult Interview Questions and 100 Potential Interview Questions should help you ace any interview.

Job Search (About.com)

The wide variety of guides on About.com is always more than useful. It's the same with the roll of interview questions and best answers for each of them. Follow all the links and check them out.

Management Consulting Case Interviews

We move away from all the general and technical interview websites with this one. As the name says, the site is all about in-depth interview questions for those who are interested in getting into management consulting. The case studies are arranged by type, industry, and consulting firm.

Xor Swap

The technical interview website is simple in looks but its list of actual interview questions asked by IT companies could be more than useful. Each question also has the answer and you can add your own. Filter the questions against the company using the list of companies on the right.

Geek Interview

The site of course, has a nicely laid out interview preparation section with a lot of questions for the software programmer or coder. The site leans towards the Indian IT scene but the questions should be universal for an IT interview. The site also has tutorials on technology, tech articles, career related articles, job postings, certification questions and guides, online tests and other study aids.

Common Interview

The website with a barebones search engine-like interface is actually a dynamic, community driven collection of most common general purpose and technical interview questions. The search box gave me a bunch of unrelated results (the Advanced Search targets them better), so I guess it's better to use the menu on the top. Not all questions have answers but the collection of interview questions and answers is quite large.

Armed with the best answers, you can further polish your interview tackling skills with 5 Sites with Job Interview Tips to Help You Ace Your Interview or take the visual route with 5 Video Channels for Learning Basic Job Interview Skills. As you prepare for the next blind date' with the job board, let us know about the toughest interview question you ever had to counter.

How To Find Out If Your Email Address Was Leaked Through Gawker’s Database

In December 2010 Gawker Medias entire network of websites was affected by an exploit that preyed on both staff and visitors. More than 1.5 million accounts were compromised by the attacks, and users' email addresses and their respective passwords were posted online for all to see.

If you are an active participant on any of Gawker's websites then you'll probably have changed your password by now (hint: do it). However, if you're not sure whether you've contributed any comments and would like to know for sure then you can check your email against the list to get the answer you need. You can then take appropriate action if you've fallen foul to the leak.

Why Such A Big Deal?

There's a reason you're strongly encouraged to use different passwords for different services. Had you signed up to Gawker's commenting system with your usual personal email address and used the same password you use to log into said email address then your email and password combination is freely available for all to see.

It has emerged since last month's attacks that a considerable amount of .gov, .edu and .mil (US military) email addresses were included in the leaked database. If these individuals had used the same password for their email login then government, education and military email addresses would be potentially compromised.

According to the hackers 2,650 used "password" or "qwerty" as a password including one .gov address, three .mil addresses and 52 from .edu addresses.

This is a prime example of how using a variety of passwords can really save your bacon. Should someone gain access to your email account then personal information like online banking or web hosting details is at the mercy of the intruder.

Ok, I'm Sufficiently Scared

Good, so you'll probably want to check if you're on the list. As the whole network of sites used the same shared commenting system, every Gawker site was affected. Many of these sites are popular and renowned for breaking news, reviews and their quirky nature.

Outlets include Lifehacker, Gawker (main site), Gizmodo, Kotaku, Fleshbot, io9, Jalopnik, Jezebel and Deadspin. If you have ever made a comment and used your own valid email address then you really should have changed your Gawker password, and any other services that use the same password.

Step 1

To check whether you've been affected you'll first need to change your email address into an MD5 hash, which you can do here. Simply enter your email in full, click md5 and copy the result to your clipboard.

Step 2

With your MD5 saved, go here and click Show Options. From the first drop-down box select MD5 and in the text field paste your MD5 hash and click Apply Filter.

If nothing appears then you're home dry, your account has not been compromised and you can sleep easy. If you do see a matching row but you've changed your password already – no worries, you acted fast.

If you see a matching row and have not changed your password then you'll want to change your Gawker password and any other passwords that match.

If you need a bit of help coming up with a couple of passwords, we've got an article covering that but please be careful and don't use too many shared passwords.

Did you get stung by Gawkergate? Learned your lesson from shared passwords? Still using "password" as your password? Tell us all about it in the comments below.
