Common Interview Questions
Every interview
you attend involves an interviewer asking you many
questions. A lot of these are standard
questions asked by most
interviewers, part of the technique they use to determine
whether your job application goes to the next level, as
it where.
Listed below are
some of the more common questions used. They may be worded
differently when you are on the
receiving end of them but they are essentially the
same. Study them and determine your likely response. You
need to be prepared.
If you take heed of these questions -
commonly used by interviewers - you will have an advantage over
other applicants for the job you are after. You will also have
time to prepare your answers so that you don't get caught
unawares.
So here is your key to coming
out on top at a job interview.
- Tell me
something about yourself.
Remember to say something
positive.
- How would you handle
stressful situations?
- How do you deal with criticism
and stress?
- How would you define success?
- Why do you think that you would
be successful with this company? (This is where your
research comes in handy)
- Have you ever been fired, and
why?
- Where do you see yourself in 5
years?
- Do you prefer to work on your own
or as a team?
- Why are you interested in working
for this company?
- How would you handle a
difference of opinion between you and your colleagues
or superiors?
- Why should I hire
you?
