Common Job Interview Questions
The interviewer's questions set out to get the candidates talking about their
experiences and their lives in general. The answers can reveal whether they can do the
job, plus their motivation and adjustment and give some indication of how they cope in
a variety of situations -including those they are likely to be under pressure and stress.
The questions that are most effective in this regard are «open ended» questions. What...,
why..., when..., how..., where..., and who... words help to keep questions open. Phrases
such as «How did you do the stock-taking?», «Tell me about...» or «Can you explain...»
should give a great deal of useful information.
The interviewees are to reveal their ability, experience, motivation and adjustment,
they, not the interviewer, must do most of the talking.
• Being interviewed you get a chance to prove yourself. That is why it is necessary
to be well prepared. Preparation increases your chances of being selected.
• Be confident and positive
One of the best ways to get confidence before a job interview is to formulate
answers to the common questions and practice many times before interview.
• Why have you applied for this job?
Think carefully and mention the positive aspects that have attracted you to joining
the company. Tell them about your relevant qualifications and experiences you have
already possessed for this job. You can also explain that how this position and company
suit your needs and expectations. You could say: I am looking for a role that helps
utilizing my skills, work experience and knowledge to make a difference."
• Can you talk through your resume?
Use this opportunity to give your professional experience in detail. Grab the chance
and present the employer list of your achievements, greatest talents and
accomplishments. Remember never say negative about your past companies or bosses.
• Where would you like to see yourself five years down the line?
In this question the interviewer is looking to see how dedicated you are to the job
and the company. Even if you really do not know where you would like to be in five
years, never say, I don't know. You could say: "I exactly don't know but I hope that the
skills and experience gained will help the company reach its goals.”
• What are your strengths?
This is your chance to show yourself. Best stress on skills and experience that are
relevant to the post. Tell them your ability to work under pressure, inquisitiveness to
team new things, quick learning ability and good interpersonal skills, hard-working and
responsible, quick learning abilities. Give examples to prove you are meticulous,
cooperative and result oriented.
• What is your weakness?
This is a very popular question. Be confident while answering this question and turn
your weakness into your strength. Pick a weakness that is harmless to your job. For
example emotional nature, never want to be a loser, highly ambitious, too slow
