When it comes to the job interview, candidates can dazzle with words and phrases that demonstrate their
problem-solving skills and value—or they can blunder and slink out of the room, without hope of a call-back.
This flash card deck, complete with 300 cards, provides the smartest answers for job seekers who
want to impress hiring managers and gain an edge in their interviews. The cards anticipate
questions ranging from basic (“What makes you think you can do this job?”) to tricky
(“Tell me about a time you challenged your supervisor”) to illegal (“What’s your
age?”). They provide a sample answer as well as ways to tailor an answer to an
applicant’s specific industry or situation. Even more, each answer highlights the key
term or phrase to commit to memory.
Now job searchers can easily practice right up until the interview so when the time comes,
they can walk into the room, say the right things, and leave a lasting impression.

Ingredients:
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour • ¼ teaspoon salt • Non-stick cooking spray
• ½ cup yellow cornmeal • 1¼ cups plain low-fat yogurt • 1 cup fresh raspberries
• ½ cup packed brown sugar • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
• 1 teaspoon baking soda • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Place a large bowl inside an even larger one. This will allow you to catch any spills of your dry ingredients so they aren’t wasted.
3. Measure flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add each to the bowl.
5. Use a lemon zester, microplane, or box grater to grate the lemon rind. Watch out—these are sharp!
6. Crack the eggs and add them to a separate small bowl. This will allow you to easily fish out any stray shells.
7. Lightly mix the eggs with a whisk or fork. Add the eggs to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine.
14. Remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
15. Transfer muffins from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
