Eileen Finn talks to Business Insider about the questions everyone dreads during an interview – and how best to respond. ‘Tell me about yourself’ can be a tough one. “Starting in the present might make you seem like you’re not reflective, and starting in the past might seem like you’re not really focused on what’s happening right now,” says Finn.

This April 2010 article from DiversityInc features an interview with discrimination-law attorney Weldon Latham, who discusses current trends in affirmative action and the future of nondiscriminatory hiring.
