what types of question should be asked in job interview?

Answer 1

Here are some sample of questions that are usually or might be asked in an interview. Good luck!


Typical interview questions

Not every interviewer will ask you every one of these questions. However, if you are prepared to address these questions, you will leave the impression that you were prepared for your job interview, even if additional questions take you by surprise.

Typical interview questions:
• What are your long-range goals and objectives?
• What are your short-range goals and objectives?
• How do you plan to achieve your career goals?
• What are the most important rewards you expect in your career?
• Why did you choose the career for which you are preparing?
• What are your strengths, weaknesses, and interests?
• How do you think a friend or professor who knows you well would describe you?
• Describe a situation in which you had to work with a difficult person (another student, co-worker, customer, supervisor, etc.). How did you handle the situation? Is there anything you would have done differently in hindsight?
• What motivates you to put forth your greatest effort? Describe a situation in which you did so.
• In what ways have your college experiences prepared you for a career?
• How do you determine or evaluate success?
• In what ways do you think you can make a contribution to our organization?
• Describe a contribution you have made to a project on which you worked.
• What qualities should a successful manager possess?
• Was there an occasion when you disagreed with a supervisor's decision or company policy? Describe how you handled the situation.
• What two or three accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction? Why?
• Describe your most rewarding college experience.
• What interests you about our product or service?
• Why did you select your college or university?
• What led you to choose your major or field of study?
• What college subjects did you like best? Why?
• What college subjects did you like least? Why?
• If you could do so, how would you plan your academic studies differently?
• Do you think your grades are a good indication of your academic achievement?
• What have you learned from participation in extracurricular activities?
• In what kind of work environment are you most comfortable?
• How do you work under pressure?
• Describe a situation in which you worked as part of a team. What role did you take on? What went well and what didn't?
• In what part-time, co-op, or summer jobs have you been most interested? Why?
• How would you describe the ideal job for you following graduation?
• Why did you decide to seek a position with this organization?
• What two or three things would be most important to you in your job?
• What criteria are you using to evaluate the organization for which you hope to work?
• Will you relocate? Does relocation bother you?
• Are you willing to travel?
• Are you willing to spend at least six months as a trainee?

What the interview is looking for:

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
You: Remember, this is a job interview, not a psychological or personal interview. The interviewer is interested in the information about you that relates to your qualifications for employment, such as education, work experiences and extracurricular activities.

Interviewer: What do you expect to be doing five years from now? Ten years from now?
You: The interviewer is looking for evidence of career goals and ambitions rather than minutely specific descriptions. The interviewer wants to see your thought process and the criteria that are important to you.

Interviewer: Why should I hire you?
You: Stress what you have to offer the employer, not how nice it would be to work there or what you want from the employer.

Interviewer: What are your ideas about salary?
You: Research salaries in your field before your interviews so that you know the current salary range for the type of position you are seeking.

Interviewer: Why do you want to work for our company/organization?
You: Not having an answer is a good way to get crossed off the candidate list, and is a common pet peeve of interviewers. Research the employer before your interview; attempt to find out about the organization's products, locations, clients, philosophy, goals, previous growth record and growth plans, how they value employees and customers, etc.

Top Five Interview Questions

Answer 3

Relax. You will be interviewed by the store manager which at some point was right were you will be. Now if your a student, they will ask you how you do in school and if you attend school on a regular basis. How many hours you would like to work, what attracted you to mcdonalds, how long do you see yourself working there, would you be willing to attend orientation if the franchise offers it. Be honest and try to stay as level headed as possible. Relax and breathe. GOOD LUCK! Just because it's mickey d's , take pride in your work and you can be promoted. I was at mcdonalds for 5 months when they sent me to food safety and a shift management course which bumped me up to 10.00 an hour. Paid training. Dont make a career out of it, just always try your best!!!

Answer 4

You will usually be asked the questions (what the employer wants to know about you, your personality profile and the suitability for the job). They will probably end the interview with 'Anything else you need to know?'. If there's something not covered during the interview (relating to your work, role/responsibilities etc); feel free to ask. This is for clarifications and also to impress upon them that you are interested.

Answer 5

You did not mention if you were the one being interviewed or what not. If you are the interviewee. I would go with china doll she pretty much covers that end. So I will cover the opposite. Basically the boss side. Pretty much the same answers only a difference of perspective. Specific job duties. Salary. Promotion schedules. Job culture. Anything that relates to the job that is expected of personnel. If they are hired at a managerial level mention of sexual behavior should be added to avoid litigation later on.

Answer 6

What are my duties
What type of people/equipment will I be working with
What would be the proper attire for the job
What is the atmosphere like
How many people will I be working with
Don't just ask questions, "try to sell yourself." Find ways (without being self-seated) to relate certain things back to your puncuality, ambition, ability to work under pressure, applied, focused, things like that.
Once the "comfort" has set in during the interview, you should ask about the buisiness itself.
What advancement opportunities are available
What types of safety policies do you have
What types of benefits are available
What is the starting pay for someone of my experience, etc.

Hope this helps.
