Questions Step 3 AnswersMost interviews are
based on the job announcement or job
advertisement. Try to use the same wording as
the job bulletin and job description. If you use
different wording, then you are depending on the
interviewers to make the connection between the
words you use and the words in the job bulletin
and job description. For example, if the job
bulletin uses the word "manage", use "manage" and
not "supervise".
