I've already shared the go-to questions used by self-made billionaires when a job candidate first walks into their offices, and here's a list of the final questions they use when wrapping up interviews. Leaving on a strong note is always important — finish with a punch and prepare for your interviews by considering answers to some of these questions.
John Catsimiditis — What do you hate to do?
Leon Charney — How did you feel when you walked out?
John Paul DeJoria — Is there anything else you would like to ask me?
Tom Golisano — When are you available?
Michael Heisley — Are there any questions that you have?

It's obvious Forbes had a good time playing 20 questions with 17 self-made members of the Forbes 400 — you know, the list of the 400 richest Americans. One question all of the billionaires were asked was "What are the first and last questions you ask in any job interview?" The answers range from practical to paranoid, and I've shared part one of the 16 answers with you here (Ron Perelman had no answer for this question).

I don't know many people that enjoy going on job interviews -- I for one have always said I would rather go on a blind date, which I hate almost as much! It's those tough personal questions that get you every time. So since we have all been there a few times, ladies do tell, what do you think is the most uncomfortable interview question?

Dear Savvy,
I applied for a receptionist job at a plastic surgeon's office (I have experience in this field). Yesterday, I was called back and interviewed on the phone for about 15 or 20 minutes with the office manager. She asked if I'd come in to be interviewed by the doctor.

Kristen Stewart stepped out onto the balcony for a cigarette on a break from doing press for New Moon in LA today. Yesterday she was showing off her legs in short shorts, but the day of interviews called for jeans and a t-shirt. The cast will be busy all weekend long and tomorrow we'll be conducting one-on-one interviews with all the stars of the movie — we're looking for your questions for the cast and are giving away prizes to our favorites.

Interviewers hold the keys to your fate, which kind of makes it seem like you're going into a lion's den, feeling vulnerable and a little (or a lot) anxious. While the series of questions will always TBD, you can still prepare by pondering some of the most common interview questions. Some of these predictable questions come from your personal experiences, and some of them come from my own.
