What is the "golden question" that beefheart is referring to? I am expecting a lot of others. Please choose Option 4.

I have seen millions of resumes, and have interviewed hundreds of people.

No, you don't bring up vacation or salary, never in first interview, or in last. If you are offered the job, they will usually send you all the info, and you decide if you want to be there. Salary is always negotiable, sometimes vacation is (you usually have to be an executive).

Good employers will usually give an information pack to the interviewee, usually on the second interview.

And.......if I interview you, don't call me every stinking day asking if you got the job.....same goes for "did you get my resume?" emails every 3 days.

I also know the "golden question" every interviewee should ask the employer at the end of the interview...it works, and it is amazing.

That's actually a good question for the applicant to ask in the interview. Most companies salivate over a prospective employee who indicates they will stay and advance.
 
"Do you validate?"

Except for nurse managers. Nurse managers don't want to know that you are interested in their jobs. Nurse managers will eat their young if given half a chance. :lol:
 
What is the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything?

And it always polite when parting to say "So Long and thanks for all the fish.
 
Are you glad your family is healthy and safe?
 
How many people have you fired in the last 12 months?
How many people have quit in the last 12 months?
Why so low?
Why so high?
 
Honestly?

Just be yourself in an interview.

Unless you suck.

Then pretend your somebody else that doesn't suck.
 
get the interviewer on the subject of the department's deficiencies and then ask them leading questions demonstrating how you can help on those areas.
 
I don't know much about the golden question, but I have a decent understanding of the golden rule.

That's not a question. Please rephrase. Hint: Questions traditionally start with who, what, when, where, how or why.

I can see why you are unsuccessful at interviewing.

He's clueless. He doesn't understand this thread at all. He did get why in the sentence but why was supposed to be at the beginning of the sentence.

I'm not quite sure what it's about either. I lost track about the time I said "Are you as hard as I am?"

The "golden question" (if I understand it right) is a question that you ask at the end of the interview that guarantees that you will get the job. If multiple applicants ask the same question at the interview the company will immediately create positions for the candidates asking the question. They will fire all current employees to make a position for you. They will take out loans to ensure the finances to afford a position for you. The officers of the company will put their personal assets up for collateral to guarantee that you get the job and your salary is guaranteed. If every single person in the world asks this question they will employee every single one of them. Any question like that is the "golden question". Would you disagree?

Then again. Maybe I misunderstood what the concept of the "golden question" is all about. :shrug: I always thought you just got the job because they needed somebody. This golden question concept can open up doors never even considered even for complete losers. All they have to do is say the magic words. It's probably something simple like, "Where is the bathroom located?" or something like that.

In that case, the question is probably "Do you want me to mail your wife the sex tape or do I have the job?"
