What's the most asked question at a Job interview?

Question

What are some of the questions that the Employer asks the most. I've been having some interviews lately, but i cant seem to land any of the good jobs. Just the low paying ones. How can I better prepare my self to land those good paying jobs. I want to have a general idea about what to say to the most asked questions. I really want to land a good job.

Answer 1

why you think you would be good for this job?
and
what have you got to offer?
or
why are you differeant from all the others?stuff like that hope it helped good luck x

Answer 2

Tell them "My alacrity can be mistaken by a manager for a lack of understanding of the problem at hand or overconfidence on my part. I am just naturally enthusiastic and positive and I have not yet come across a problem that was impossible to solve with the assistance of other team members. That's why I am very comfortable in any work environment for which I am qualified." Good competent interviewers do not ask "What is your weakness?" anymore. That's from the 90's and it tells the interviewer nothing. Everyone has a weakness of some kind including the most successful business people in the world. If you come across an interviewer who asks this question then you have an amateur on your hands. These are the things the interviewer needs to find out from you or about you: 1. Can you actually DO the job? This means all aspects of the job. 2. Can you get on with other people [team player etc]? 3. Are you trustworthy, honest, and reliable [will you actually turn up for work each day, be trusted with company property etc]? 4. Can you take instructions from a superior / manager? Everything else is irrelevant. Give examples without being asked and be prepared to give these examples (it's ok to have some notes). A skilled candidate will lead the interview in the direction they want it to go. This is an delicate art and a talented interviewer will notice this.

Answer 3

Some of the most asked questions are about your previous employment, your background, your qualifications, why you left previous employment, etc.
Every answers needs to be positive and aimed at giving the interviewer a clear understanding of your attributes, not your weaknesses.
Why did you leave ABC Company?
The answer is never about boring jobs, bad bosses, too much responsiblity, not enough free time, etc. even if any or all of these are true.
The answer should be, I was offered another position with EFG Company that provided me with an opportunity to gain the additional skills that I needed for my personal growth.

Answer 4

The question that I would always ask, and have been asked is "Why do you particularly want to work in this business/company/enterprise?" The way to be best prepared, and impress the person interviewing you on behalf of that employer, is to do some good research into the business activities and processes of that company, or whoever. Get thoroughly conversant with it, and then, at interview, you confidently give them your pitch........"I notice that you have been very active in the field of research/innovation with certain of your products/ practises/ policies. Your customer satisfaction ratio is impressively high. Your services/merchandise... are well rated by......... I am enthusiastic to be a part of a positive business image, and I believe that my areas of training and experience to date have something to contribute."

You don't give any clue as to what your own level of training and experience is, or in what field of employment. But the general theme of a good and successful interview is being able to give your interviewer the strongest impression that you are NOT "wishy-washy" and only there for that interview because, heck, you just gotta find a job somewhere. YOU selected THEM as the source of a potential position that you believe you have the ability to do with enthusiasm, and bring something of value to that enterprise.

Practise a few good 'one-liners' that sound very intelligent, and with just a touch of humor. Let's say I was applying for a job in a large Department Store, and my duties would be to walk the floor and be ready to direct customers to the area of the store they are looking to find certain merchandise. When asked why I was interested in this job, I might smile a little, let my eyes twinkle, and say "I think I am good with people..... and, (grin) I get the chance to tell customers where to go " LOLOL.

You have to convey, at an interview, for any kind of job.......1. confidence 2. energy and enthusiasm 3. good communicational skills 4. last but not least in the case of a job that requires it, Credentials.

I would guess, rightly or wrongly, that if you have so far only been able to land the lower paying jobs, it could be because you lack official qualifications for anything. You don't state your age, but I guess again, that you are not that old. Youth can be a qualification in itself in many jobs with great opportunities. One of the greatest entrepreneurs of our living times... himself now passed on, but his name lives on as the Wal-Mart Empire, was Sam Walton.... a guy who came from pretty humble beginnings, but with a dream, and an idea, and an unlimited supply of determination to make it become a reality. Later endearingly referred to among his closest circle as "Sam the Man", he never got "too big for his boots" However, he came to leave an enormous footprint on the surface of this planet, almost certainly because he lived by a slogan that wasn't even created when he began his journey........"quitters never win, and winners never quit". Be one of the latter, and you will get that job that gives you the success and the fulfilment you are looking for.

Answer 5

Two great books that I would recommend: 'Smart Moves' and 'Smart Moves For People In Charge' by Sussman & Deep. Also go on line and check out the major business publications and READ what Interviewers are saying about their craft on the front lines.

We ALL have run into this wall. The only thing that you can do is be prepared and do your best.

Answer 6

Most questions are simple and you either know them or you don't like do have xyz qualifications. The ones to prepare for are what do you bring with you to this job? why should we hire you? can you give an example of when you had to work as a team?

These you need to prepare for.

Good luck

Answer 8

"What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now?" is always a choker for me. But someone asked me once "What is the worst thing you can say about yourself and your work?"
