| Ok, so here are some of the most common questions | | | | more time to double check everything to make sure |
| an interviewer may ask you.a. So tell me about | | | | the everything is accurate and correct before handing |
| yourself. | | | | it in. This way, your weakness is actually your strength |
| This should be about 5 minutes average. Introduce | | | | because it tells the employer that you hand in quality |
| yourself, where you live, and then get straight to the | | | | work.f. Give me a situation where you had to deal with |
| point and talk about yourself as if you are reciting your | | | | a challenge at your work place and how did you |
| resume. Start with the most recent company you are | | | | overcome it? |
| working at and talk about your job responsibilities there. | | | | Very similar to the question above when being asked |
| Tell them why you are looking for a new job and that | | | | about your weakness. Tell them something that can |
| you are looking for opportunities to grow and learn | | | | sound like a positive thing at the same time. For |
| more. Never talk badly of your previous employers. | | | | instance, say that there were times when 5 different |
| Then you work your way down and briefly tell them | | | | people ask you to do something. However, since you |
| what other companies you worked for in the past and | | | | knew how to prioritize your work and have good time |
| what you did there. If you are out of college, talk about | | | | management skills, you were able to complete the |
| what you majored in and why you are interested in | | | | work for the senior management people and then |
| this particular field you studied in.b. Looking from your | | | | work your way down the hierarchy.g. What skills or |
| resume, can you please elaborate more on this | | | | attributes separates you from other professionals in |
| specific duty that you have listed here? | | | | your field? |
| Explain in further details of what the interviewer wants | | | | Another selling yourself question. You are basically a |
| to know. If you mention that you are a supervisor on | | | | salesman for yourself. Just like question C, brag about |
| your resume, then explain in details how many people | | | | yourself but be sure to give examples!h. Why are you |
| do you supervise and what are some of the things | | | | looking to leave your current job? |
| you do as a supervisor.c. If I were to call your | | | | If you have a job right now and you hate your boss, |
| manager right now, how would he or she describe the | | | | don't tell the interviewer that. It is never good to talk |
| type of worker you are? | | | | badly of anybody because it makes it seem that you |
| We all know this question is retarded but you still want | | | | take things on a personal level rather than a |
| to sell yourself. I hope you will do the obvious thing and | | | | professional level. Of course, nothing is perfect in this |
| say something good about yourself. Some good things | | | | world and there are some bosses that are really |
| to say is that you have good time management skills, | | | | annoying and unbearable but just keep that to yourself |
| know how to prioritize your work, dedicated, hard | | | | and the people you are close with. However, leave it |
| working, fast learner, etc. | | | | out of the interview. The way to answer this question |
| However, be sure to give examples for the ones you | | | | is to say that it's a career move. Either you are looking |
| list. If you say you are a fast learner, explain how you | | | | for a career change, or because you feel your |
| are a fast learner.d. Give me one word that best | | | | experience matches the position really well and there |
| describe you. | | | | is room for advancement or say something along the |
| Some good words are motivated, dedicated, honest, | | | | lines of you liking the company a lot after doing some |
| loyal, persistent, smarte. What are your strength and | | | | research about them and you like how strong and |
| weaknesses? | | | | stable the company is.i. Where do you see yourself in |
| When you talk about your strengths, its pretty much | | | | five years? |
| the same thing we just spoke about. You are selling | | | | For this question, employers want to know how goal |
| yourself so of course you want to brag as much as | | | | oriented you are. What is realistic in 5 years? Perhaps |
| you can. | | | | you want to be a supervisor? Perhaps you want to |
| Now comes down to the tricky part. When talking | | | | be a VP? There is no right or wrong answer here but |
| about your weakness, you DO NOT want to tell the | | | | keep in mind that whatever you say it should be |
| truth! For example, let's say you are a slow typer. You | | | | related to the position and field you are applying for. |
| do not want to say that. What you want to do is to | | | | Lets say you are applying for an accounting position |
| say something bad but in a good way. The best BS to | | | | but when they ask you where do you see yourself in |
| say when asked about your weakness is that you are | | | | 5 years... and you say you want to be a fireman. Sorry |
| too detailed oriented which allows you to take a little | | | | dude, but you are not going to get this job! |
