Get it, girl! How to get past 10 tough questions in a job interview

OK, so you were finally called for an interview; your CV is perfect, you're dressed nicely and now, it's time to impress.

You've researched the company and the person who is going to interview you – you're all set, right?

While you may think so, some employers like to throw curve balls and ask questions that don't necessarily have anything to do with the job in question.
