  1. " I am very happy to work together with colleagues toward a shared goal" - I think you answered that yourself.

  2. Of course they are. You just have to lie to them. What are they gonna do ? If the job is shitty, you just change it and that's that.

  3. 1. You should at least Google them. 2. The job description might be poorly done, in which case, you should ask. If you feel like they are cramming in multiple jobs into one or if the responsibilities are very ambiguous, you should definitely ask. This might actually be a red flag. 3. The hours should be stated in the contract, but it's good to ask about time frames, because it might not suit you and then all the interview process has been lost time on your part. 4. For permanent positions, if you show me you have no career path in your company, this tells me you just promote randomly and chaotically, which looks bad for anybody to expects to stay in that company for a couple of years. 5. Knowing the salary is important. Nobody is doing any favors, this is a business. You should have a salary range already in your job description. If you don't, this is a red flag. 6. If you answer this one 9 out of 10 they will try to negotiate it DOWN. A company will have a certain budget allocated for each open position before even filling that position, so their question is bull. Also, in some countries, salaries and contract prices are confidential. This question is the same as asking me what my current salary is, just framed differently. 7. Nobody cares about previous companies. Don't talk bad, but don't talk good either. Stay on the professional side of things. 8. Competence is the solution for fear. If you are consistently nervous in interviews, improve your social skills, talk to the mirror, prepare more, and learn what to expect. There are a lot of similarities between interviews and after a couple dozen you'll understand exactly what I'm saying. You should also periodically go to interview ( at least 1-2 times a month ) even if you have a job, just to keep your skills sharp and also feel the market and the expectations of the companies, so you know how to proceed. 9. Agree. 10. I might not be interested in your company so much as I am in the project. I usually ask questions about the projects and the team. Your "vision" is not important to me, unless you want me to become a partner in that company.
