Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job
interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview,
you are bound to make a good impression.
1. What is important to you in a job
Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the
feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.
2. Why do you want to work for this organization
Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working
conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any
organization.
3. Why should we employ you
Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about
working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment
as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the
job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of
your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.
4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us
Answer by saying along these lines: "As long as my position here allows me
to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities."
5. Can we offer you a career path
Reply: "I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the
organization. Can you tell me about it " The answer may be revealing.
6. What are your greatest strengths
Give a response like one of the following: "I can see what needs to be done
and do it", "I'm wiling to make decisions", "I work well with others," "I can
organize my time efficiently."
7. What are you greatest weakness
Identify one or two, such as the following:" I tend to drive myself too
hard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a
job done quickly, and I'm critical if it isn't." Note these weaknesses could
also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to
describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.
8. What didn't you like about previous jobs you've held
Discuss the things you didn't like, but avoid making slighting reference to
any of your former employers.
9. How do you spend your leisure time
Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary
-- rather just one.
10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience
Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing
them in a positive light. You'll find that they are minor when discussed along
with all the positive things you have to offer.
11. Where do you want to be five years from now
Saying that you'd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers
want people who are content to sit still. You might say, "in five years, I'd
like to have my boss's job. " If you can't qualify for your boss's job by then,
you may not be the fright candidate. |
