what questions are you likely to be asked in an interview?

Question

Can any one give me some ideas of questions I may be asked and answers when going for a job interview

Answer 1

Too easy!

They always start off with an ice breaker. "Tell me about yourself", "Why are you appling here", or "What do you know about the company" are all good starter questions which you will hear. Mostly, "tell me about yourself" to which you should already have a very general answer.

Then start the fun questions like, "What makes you exceptional to all the other applicants", "What do you have to offer that no other candidate has", or "How would you improve our company" are all typical questions regardless of were you apply so have an anwer which could fit all three.

All other quesitons will focus around information which you have already provided in your application, information which is applicable to the position, or infomation which migh make you slightly uncomfortable if the interviewer is good. Those questions are like, "tell me about something you failed at".

The most important thing is to control yourself, be confident, and use manners. Speak in appropriate language, look the person who is asking the question in the eye, sit straight up, and don't do any of those nervous jitter things like shaking your foot.

Answer 2

Why do you want to work here?

What experience do you have that may contribute to your employment here?

What you see in your future as far as employment?

What are your goals for your future?

Do You enjoy working with others?

What did you like the most about your previous employment?

What did you like the least about your previous employer?

If I asked your last boss about you what would he/she say?

Depending upon the position your applying for will also have an impact on the different questions they may ask.

Remember, when being interviewed by someone you the
applicant needs to turn the interview around at some point and time and begin to interview them. Ask him/her question like how do work to the level to obtain your position, how long have you been here with the company, do you enjoy working here and so on. Keep them talking about the favorite subject he knows abouts about and LOVES to talk about THEMSELVES. It will make walking out from that interview with both parties feeling good.

Answer 3

Why did you apply for this role?
What can you offer this company?

etc etc.

This is also a good website. It gives you some questions they might ask, but also appropriate answers. Worth the read because I was reading through it today myself...

Good luck!

Answer 4

After the various icebreakers that most people will probably answer here, they will ask you a series of questions that help them figure out whether your skills and experience match what they are looking for. If it it is on your resume, be prepared to discuss it in the context of their job.

Remember, they are trying to figure out whether you are competent, fit their chemistry, have character (or are a character), self-confident (maybe a little charisma thrown in there for good measure) so they can see if you have the sort of personal leadership they want.
