“Have you read a book recently?”   “And, let’s talk about it?”

This may be the most important question that you may have in a job interview.  Interviewers want to know that you can add real and immediate value to their organization.  They want to know that you’ve kept current with what’s going on in your profession and with technology

For example, you may have gotten an engineering degree 8 years ago.  But, the amount of knowledge in your engineering discipline may have doubled and even tripled over the last 8 years.  Did you keep current in your discipline?  How did you keep current?  School?  Certifications?

Maybe, that’s why I’m seeing a lot more folks at Barnes & Noble
