    "answer" : "I’m looking for a position where I can use my skills to help a business grow.",
    "correctAnswer" : true
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "You should always expect this question and be able to answer it positively, career experts advise, focusing on what you want to achieve. Describe how the experience and skills you gained on your previous or current job will be valuable in the new role you hope to get hired for.",

  }, {
    "answer" : "I’m really excited about the projects this company is working on.",
    "correctAnswer" : true
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Before your interview, research the company on its website and social media accounts, along with any news coverage it may have received. If you know the name of the person you’ll be speaking with, check whether they have a profile on LinkedIn. Showing your knowledge of the company will help them see that you are seriously interested. (Pro tip: The name of the company’s CEO is a quick question interviewers ask to figure out if you did your homework.)",

    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "While job-seekers of all ages get asked this question, employers may pay closer attention to answers from older candidates. They’re listening for whether you’re planning to make real contributions to their team or just looking to make money before retiring in a few years. “I would say something like, ‘Five years is a long time from now, but I see myself continuing to learn and grow while contributing to your organization,’” says one human resources professional.",

  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Don’t feel bad about a gap on your resume. Think of it as a chance to show how you can learn skills and be productive in any circumstance. For example, if you took time off for caregiving, explain how the skills you developed — time management, communication, problem-solving — will be valuable in the job they’re hiring for.",

  }, {
    "answer" : "This is a completely new field for me, so I’ll be learning a lot.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Employers sometimes worry that applicants who have lots of experience might not stick around long, either because they get bored or get a more challenging opportunity elsewhere. Be prepared to explain why this job matches your needs now, such as mentoring teammates or applying your skills to a new field. Convince the recruiter that you are genuinely excited and not settling because you can’t get a higher-level job.",

    "answer" : "Any of the above",
    "correctAnswer" : true
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,

    "answer" : "I’ve been out of work for months now, so I’ll take whatever you can offer.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Rather than offer a specific number, steer the conversation toward a salary range that includes any health care and retirement benefits, along with perks like flexible hours or work-from-home opportunities. And let them know that the chance to be a part of their team also is valuable to you.",
  "hint" : "",
  "hintLink" : "",

  "question" : "How old are you, by the way?",

    "answer" : "Old enough to know not to answer that question.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "While the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) does prohibit employers from discriminating on the basis of age, it doesn’t specifically ban them from asking you this question. Most recruiters know that this generally is not an appropriate question. But, if you get asked, instead of divulging your age or scolding the interviewer, pivot to how the skills you have acquired can help their business.",
