Review these typical
interview questions and think about how you would answer them. Read the
questions listed; you will also find some strategy suggestions with it.
1. Tell me about yourself?
Ans : 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?
Ans: Stay positive regardless of the
circumstances. Never refer to a majorproblem with management and never speak
ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the
one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such
as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
reasons.
3. What experience do you have in this field?
Ans: Speak about specifics that relate to the
position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as
close as you can.
4. Do you consider yourself successful?
Ans:You should always answer yes and briefly
explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met
some and are on track to achieve the others.
5. What do co-workers say about you?
Ans: Be prepared with a quote or two from
co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark,
a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had
ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.
6. What do you know
about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research
on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and
where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major
players?
7. What have you done to improve your knowledge
in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that
relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive
self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in
this area. Keep the focuson this job and what you can do for this organization.
Anything else is a distraction.
9. Why do you want to work for this
organization?
This may take some thought and certainly,
should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is
extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals.
10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for
the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about
friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well
thought of.
11. What is your Expected Salary?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you
will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say
something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this
position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If
not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.
12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to
have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the
team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not
brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.
13. How long would you expect to work for us if
hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like
this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I'm
doing a good job.
14. Have you ever had to fire anyone?
How did you feel about that? This is serious.
Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the
same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to
the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you
will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or
reduction in force.
15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or
flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done?
Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive,
showing a benefit to the organization.
16. If you had enough money to retire right
now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to
work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean
it.
17. Have you ever been asked to leave a
position?
If you have not, say no. If you have, be
honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization
involved.
18. Explain how you would be an asset to this
organization ?
You should be anxious for this question. It
gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position
being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.
19. Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the
organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.
20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made ?
Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a
suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to
the type of work applied for is a real plus.
21. What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but
fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you
seem to get along with folks is great.
22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive.
A few good examples: Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills,
Your ability to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude
23. Tell me about your dream job ?
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win.
If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you
say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied
with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute andcan't
wait to get to work.

job?
Give several reasons and include skills,
experience and interest.
25. What are you looking for in a job?
See answer # 23

objections will label you as a whiner.

the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the
most important. There is no better answer.
28. What would your previous supervisor say
your strongest point is?
There are numerous good possibilities: Loyalty,
Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,Initiativ e,
Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver
29. Tell me about a problem you had with a
supervisor?
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if
you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem
with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive
and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
30. What has disappointed you about a job?
Don't get trivial or negative. Safe areas are
few but can include: Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a
reduction Company did not win a contract, which would have given you more
responsibility.

pressure.

job more closely?

suspicion that you may want another job more than this one.

job?

that only you can say, but good examples are: Challenge, Achievement,
Recognition

this job?
Several ways are good measures: You set high

tell you that you are successful
36. Would you be willing to relocate if
required?
You should be clear on this with your family
prior to the interview if you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not
say yes just to get the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of
problems later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself
future grief.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the
organization ahead of your own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication
question. Do not worry about the deep ethical and philosophical implications.
Just say yes.
38. Describe your management
style ?
Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common
labels, like progressive, salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or
descriptions depending on which management expert you listen to. The
situational style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.
39. What have you learned from mistakes on the
job?
Here you have to come up with something or you
strain credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive
lesson learned. An example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a
project and thus throwing coordination off.
40. Do you have any blind spots?
Trick question. If you know about blind spots,
they are no longer blind spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern
here. Let them do their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to
them.

interviewer does not know about, bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that
you are a hard working quick learner.

knowledgeable, a sense of humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high
standards. All bosses think they have these traits.

resolve a dispute ?
between others. Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique and not
the dispute you settled.

working on a project?

the job.

something for the organization.

Always have some questions prepared. Questions
prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will
I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist
on? are examples.

succussful in the interview you are going to face in coming days.
