    STAMFORD, CT, May 11, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Who would win a fight between Spiderman and Batman? How many quarters would you need to reach the height of the Empire State building? If you were a Muppet, which Muppet would you be? What would you do if you were the only survivor in a plane crash? Those questions are some of the new age of questions you may be asked if you are on the tip of the slippery slope known as job-hunting. Yes, It's a new world of interviewing out there. If you are looking for a job, the article 'Who would win a fight between Spiderman and Batman?' in the May 15, 2015 issue of Bottom Line Personal is a must -read.

Whether you are a recent college graduate or looking to take the next step in your career or getting back into the workforce, you know the interview process can be somewhat daunting and stressful. In the competitive job market, interviewers know you have prepared answers to frequently asked questions like "What's your biggest weakness?" so they have changed their strategy significantly according to Bottom Line Personal expert Michael R. Neece, president and CEO of Interview Mastery, the world's most widely used job-interview preparation software.

Being prepared for these types of questions can make or break the results of your job search. Job candidates' responses tell interviewers about an applicant's attitude; problem-solving ability; priorities under pressure and real world capabilities.

'Describe the color yellow to somebody who's blind. Spirit Airlines asked this question to test candidates' creativity...and also to test their ability to understand other people's perspectives. Some candidates no doubt leapt to the conclusion that a blind person would have no experience with colors, but that is not necessarily so. A potential response according to Bottom Line Personal might be "First, I'd want to know if the person has always been blind. If not, I'd ask what he or she remembers about colors and start from there. If he has always been blind, I would describe yellow using senses other than sight. I'd say yellow is warm, like the sun on your skin on a pleasant day..."

"The job market has changed significantly for both applicants and employers in recent years which means the old ways of hiring just don't work any more," states Bottom Line President and CEO, Sarah Hiner, "At Bottom Line we are the go-to source for our readership in a current, timely fashion.
