Six years on from the [[Why You? 101 Interview Questions You'll Never Fear Again by James Reed|original edition]], the book is being re-issued with a bonus chapter entitled ''The Future of Work'' which includes an additional 10 questions. I've come to this some 6 years after reviewing the original book and my life has changed significantly in the meantime. I'm no longer working in middle-management having opted for a down-shift into reduced hours freelancing to enable me to focus on other (not necessarily paying) work. I can therefore relate to the first point made in this chapter namely that independence and flexibility are core skills that employees need to have.
The degree to which employers want these skills has undoubtedly undergone a shift of its own in the last 12 months. Where once such attributes might have been seen as a double-edged sword, as much a threat to the employee not wanting to stay long and so not fully committing to the organisational goals as a strength of being responsive to that organisation's shifting business environment, it is very clear now that the strength fully outweighs the threat.
