Questions You Can Expect In A Job Interview
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
No one can predict the exact questions an interviewer will ask, but you can have a good idea. Of course, the interviewer will ask about your work experience and training, and how they apply to the job you’re seeking. At the same time, the interviewer will be interested in how you relate to the working environment, your co-workers and supervisors, as well as what are your aspirations, assets and liabilities. To prepare, think about how you would answer the following questions:
Tell me about yourself? (Work related: work experience, education, training, and other strengths)
What do you know about our organization?
Why are you interested in this position?
What are your most significant career achievements?
Describe a situation in which your work was criticized?
How would you describe your personality?
How do you perform under pressure?
How have you improved yourself over the past year?
What did you like least about your last position?
Why are you leaving your present company?
What is your ideal working environment?
How would your coworkers describe you?
What did you think of your boss?
Have you ever fired anyone?
What was the situation and how did you handle it?
Are you creative?
What are your goals in your career?
Where do you see yourself in two years?
Why should we hire you?
What kind of salary are you looking for?
What other types of jobs/companies are you considering?
Have a happy Halloween.
