TOP FIVE QUESTIONS TO START AN INTERVIEW
The opening handshake and small talk are crucial when it comes to making a hiring decision, according to a survey of 150 senior executives in the US. Executives said it takes them just 10 minutes to form an opinion of jobseekers. The following are five questions frequently asked at the beginning of an interview:
* Can you tell me a little about yourself? * What do you know about our firm?
* Why do you want to work here? * Why are you looking to leave your current position? What is your most significant personal accomplishment?
(Canadian HR Reporter May 7, 2007)

EUROPE’S MOST TOLERANT SOCIETY MAKES U TURN?
A June 25, 2007 Toronto Star article reports on “Dutch losing their tolerance for tolerance.” Historian Kennedy describes the attitude as a national "weariness with moral squalor – the Dutch have grown tired of it and are unwilling to put up with it.''
