Interviews almost certainly begin
in a fairly relaxed fashion, by |
| |
introductions and light conversation
(your journey, the weather etc) this |
| |
is your first opportunity to
make a good impression. Most interviews |
| |
follow a similar format. Firstly
by asking questions in regard to you CV |
| |
and general questions about you... |
| |
|
 |
How much do you know about this
job? |
| |
|
 |
What appeals to you about this
position? |
| |
|
 |
What skills or experiences can
you bring to this company? |
| |
|
 |
What is your opinion of our company? |
| |
|
 |
How would you describe yourself? |
| |
|
 |
How would your superiors describe
you? |
| |
|
 |
Do you prefer to work as an individual
or as part of a team? |
| |
|
 |
How do you cope with pressure? |
| |
|
 |
Tell me how you have overcome
a difficult situation? |
| |
|
 |
What do you think is a bad/good
characteristic in an individual |
| |
in the workplace? |
| |
|
 |
What has been your biggest achievement
to date? |
| |
|
 |
What are your aspirations in
the short term? Long term? |
| |
|
 |
What motivates you? |
| |
|
 |
One strength about yourself you
have to offer a prospective employer? |
| |
|
 |
One weakness about yourself as
perceived by friends or colleagues? |
| |
|
 |
Tell me about your hobbies and
interests? |
| |
|
 |
Are you interested in the position? |
| |
|
 |
Why do you think you should be
offered this position? |
| |
|
 |
Are you considering other jobs? |
| |
|
| |
Handling tough questions with
confidence is in fact an opportunity to |
| |
promote the exact message you
are wishing to give about yourself. |
| |
Employers will deliberately design
a situation to see how you behave |
| |
and react. Do not allow yourself
to be antagonized by an interviewer |
| |
at any time, remain calm and
level headed. Giving a positive, fluent |
| |
answer isn't as difficult as
it may seem (no sarcasm) by anticipating |
| |
general questions. |
