1. Tell me about yourself: The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present. 2. Why did you leave your last job? Stay positive regardless of the circumstances.

Scoliosis "This is a lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine, associated with rotation, so that, in the thoracic spine, the ribs on the convex side are displaced backwards. It is very common, with 25% of the population having some degree of spinal asymmetry in childhood. Curves of over 20° occur in 1-2 per thousand boys and 4-5 per thousand girls. 65% of all cases are idiopathic (cause not known). Most scoliosis occurs in girls at the start of adolescence. When curvature occurs at, or shortly after, birth (infantile curves), boys are often slightly more affected than girls. Interestingly, adolescent curve tends to be more convex to the right whereas infantile ones are to the left. In babies, early diagnosis and treatment is particularly important. Scoliosis may also develop as a result of congenital malformations of the spine, such as hemi-vertebra or fused vertebrae, or in association with spina bifida, polio, ataxia and brittle bones."
