what are the usual final interview questions?

Question

I'll be having my 3rd interiew with one of the directors of the company I am apply to and this would be my first time to be interviewed by someone of higher position. I do not want to waste the oppurtunity of getting this far; I am unemployed for quite a long time. So I am really preparing myself for the interview. Anyone, please help me by sharing your experience during final interviews.

I want to know how those in the higher positions like a division director conduct interviews, the usual questions they ask and the topics they tackle.

Answer 1

Being this is your third interview, it sounds as though things are going well for you. Typically, the first interview is the weed-out interview. Where I drop all the people who are nothing like what they have on their resume. The second interview is to move off the page and find out what the person is best at, what they are looking for.

The third interview can take a number of directions. If you have not discussed salaries, hours, job discription, etc. this is often what the meeting will be about. Typically I use third interviews when I have decided to hire someone and want to hammer out the fine points of hiring them.

Another reason for a third interview is the possiblity of having two or more applicates equally qualified for the job and trying to narrow down the 'One' to hire. If you find this is the case, I offer the following tips that can get you a long way. They will, out of courtesy, ask if you have any questions. This is your biggest chance to make a huge impression on the 'big' boss. Ask about the company's top clients, what their needs are; ask about the company's 5 or 10-year outlook and what they are trying to accomplish. -- this is a great chance to become the interviewer, think of 4-6 questions where you get into the finer points of working for the company. It will show your interest and desire to be a 'team player' as well showing you have long-term interest in the company's future.

Everything is about money. They are not filling a position just because they want to spend money. They are looking for someone that shares their business model and someone that is going to make them money. By showing interest in the company and it's future, your question screams "hey I want to help you make money."

The key here is to do it with tact. Don't be arrogant and DO NOT make it sound like you want your bosses job. You may even ask what areas the company is weak in and immediate relate how you can help fill those voids and if you're willing, offer to attend training in those areas. If training is needed they will often pay for it and you pick up another skill on the company dime. As a plus, they see someone willing to go beyond the employee they are replacing and suddenly that employee they lost, doesn't look so irreplaceable.

Hope this helps,

Third Interview Questions

Answer 3

i think, more importantly, that you ask the director, at the interview's end, if there is any reason he/she believes you cannot perform the duties of the position. it is a yes or no answer. a yes is a chance to politely rebuke the director. if he/she hems or haws, that is not what you want & you probably then will not get the job. as far as questions, remember what you've heard thus far from the interviewees as well as the director's comments. use that as a basis for Q's because it will show you were listening. also, ask him/her, what it is he/she really wants from someone in your position. if you gather that you may at sometime work closely with this person, you must bond somehow. that is, if the director is an avid hiker, it is time to go to the interview with your boots on, figuratively, ofcourse. good luck.

Hi, The basic questions cover your experiences and what you think of the job being offered. You might want to do some research and invest in a career help book. I purchased my career materials from LEARNTOSUCCEED.BIZ because I saw their president speak at my college and he impressed me with his knowledge and caring. When you purchase their cd-rom which covers seven topics (one is interviewing), you also get a free one year subscription to their phone advice. Here you get to speak the president about your own circumstances. So you might want to check out the site. Best of luck

Answer 5

This is a time for you to get any questions related to the job answered besides salary, and also for you to ask if there are any questions that they may have that have not been answered or are covered on your resume. You may also wish to inquire as to the timing that they are looking to fill the position in.

Answer 6

Any Questions: Prepare a few questions that show your intereted in learning about the company...the process to complete the hiring.

Answer 7

Answer 9

i think they would ask u, "how could you help the company become more successful? Or they might ask you, "are you prepared to work diligently and honestly in this company?"
