JOB INTERVIEW

Job Interview Tips

Practice

Practice answering interview questions and practice your responses to the typical job interview

questions and answers most employers ask. Think of actual examples you can use to describe

your skills. Providing evidence of your successes is a great way to promote your candidacy. Alsohave a list of your own questions to ask the employerready.

Research

Prepare a response so you are ready for the question What do you know about this company?Know the interviewer's name and use it during the job interview. If you're not sure of the name,

call and ask prior to the interview. Try to relate what you know about the company when

answering questions.

Get Ready

Make sure your interview attire is neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are

interviewing with. Bring a nice portfolio with copies of yourresume. Include a pen and paper for

note taking.

Be On Time

Be on time for the interview. On time means five to ten minutes early. If need be, take some time

to drive to the interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going andhow long it will take to get there. Here's more on preparing for an interview.

Stay Calm

During the job interview try to relax and stay as calm possible. Take a moment to regroup.

Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. Listen to the entire question before you answer and

pay attention - you will be embarrassed if you forget the question!

Show What You Know

Try to relate what you know about the company when answering questions. When discussing

your career accomplishments match them to what the company is looking for. Here's how tomake a matchbetween your expertise and the company's requirements.

Follow Up

Always follow-up with a thank you note reiterating your interest in the position. If you interviewwith multiple people send each one a personal thank you note. Send your thank you note (email

is fine) within 24 hours of your interview.

Avoid Common Interview Mistakes

What shouldn't you do when interviewing? Here are the most common job interview mistakes,blunders, and errors a candidate for employment can make. Take the time to review these

mistakes before your interview, so you don't have to stress out about blunders after it.

Phone Interview Etiquette

Phone interview etiquette is just as important as in-person job interview etiquette when it comesto getting hired. That's because, regardless of how you interview, a successful interview will get

you to the next stage of the hiring process.

Sample Job Interview Questions

Job Interview Questions 1

"Tell me about yourself..."

Be prepared to talk for two minutes about yourself. Be logical. Start anywhere, such as

high school, college or your first professional position. The interviewer is trying to

evaluate your communication skills and linear thinking. You may try to score a point or

two by describing a major personal attribute

Job Interview Questions 2

"Why are you leaving your current position?"

This is a very critical question. Don't bad mouth your previous employer or co-workers

or sound too opportunistic. It's fine to mention major problems, a buy-out or a

shutdown. You may want to state that after long personal consideration, your chance to

make a contribution is very low due to extensive company-wide changes.

Job Interview Questions 3

"What do you consider your most significant accomplishment?"

A good answer to this question can get you the job. Prepare extensively

discuss hardwork, long hours, pressure and important company issues at stake. You may want to tell

a two minute detailed story, discussing personal involvement.

Job Interview Questions 4

"Why do you believe you are qualified for this position?"

3/6

Pick two or three main factors about the job and about yourself that are most relevant.

Discuss for two minutes, including specific details. You may mention a technical skill, a

management skill and/or a personal success story.

Job Interview Questions 5

"Have you ever accomplished something you didn't think you could?"

The interviewer is trying to determine your goal orientation, work ethic, personal

commitment and integrity. Prepare a good example where you overcame difficulties

and succeeded. Prove that you're not a quitter.

Job Interview Questions 6

"What do you like/dislike most about your current or last position?"

The interviewer is trying to determine compatibility with the open position. Be careful;

don't say you dislike overtime, like management, or get too detailed. It's safe to say that

you like challenges, pressure situations, opportunities to grow, or that you dislikebureaucracy and frustrating situations.

Job Interview Questions 7

"How do you handle pressure? Do you like or dislike these situations?"

High achievers tend to perform well in high-pressure situations. Conversely, these

questions could imply that the open position is pressure-packed and out of control.

Know what you're getting into. If you do perform well under stress, provide a good,

detailed example. Be descriptive.

Job Interview Questions 8"The sign of a good employee is the ability to take initiative. Can you describe a

situation where you did this?"

The proactive, results-oriented person doesn't have to be told what to do. To convince

the interviewer you possess this trait, give a series of short examples describing your

self-motivation. Discuss one example in-depth, describing the extra effort, your strong

work ethic and your creative, resourceful side.

Job Interview Questions 9

"What was the worst/most embarrassing situation of your career? How would you

have done things differently with 20/20 hindsight?"

Your interviewer wants to know how introspective you are, and to see if you can learn

from your mistakes. Don't be afraid to talk candidly about your failures, especially if you

learned something significant from them.

Job Interview Questions 10

"How have you grown or changed over the past few years?"

7/27/2019 ridho.docx

4/6

Maturation, increased technical skills and increased self-confidence are important

developmental aspects. To discuss these effectively is indicative of a well-balanced,

intelligent individual. Overcoming personal obstacles or recognising manageable

weaknesses can help identify you as an approachable and desirable employee.

Job Interview Questions 11

"What do you consider your most significant strength?"

Know your key five or six strengthsthe ones most compatible with the job opening.

Discuss each with specific examples. Don't include your management or interpersonal

skills unless you can describe specific examples of good management, or how your

relationship skills have been critical to your success.

Job Interview Questions 12

"Deadlines, frustrations, difficult people and silly rules can make a job difficult. How

do you handle these types of situations?"Most companies, unfortunately, face these problems daily. If you can't deal with petty

problems, you'll be seen as uncooperative. How you overcome these are important.

Diplomacy, perseverance and common sense will prevail in difficult circumstances.

Job Interview Questions 13

"One of our biggest problems is What has been your experience with this? How

would you deal with it?"

Think on your feet. Ask questions to get more details and break the problem into

subsections. It is highly likely that you will have had some experience dealing with the

subsections. Answer these and summarise the total. If you can't answer directly, statehow you would go about solving the problem. Be specific and show your organisational

and analytical skills.

Job Interview Questions 14

"How has your technical ability been important in accomplishing results?"

A potential employee needs a strong level of technical competence. Most strong

managers have good technical backgrounds. Describe specific examples of your

technical abilities, and how you resolved a technical issue.

Job Interview Questions 15

"How would you handle a situation with tight deadlines, low employee morale and

inadequate resources?"

Your interviewer is looking for strong management skills. You need to be creative and

describe your toughest management task, even if it doesn't meet all the criteria. Most

situations don't. Organisational and interpersonal skills, handling pressure and good

handling of this question are indicative of effective management skills.

Job Interview Questions 16

"Are you satisfied with your career to date? What would you change if you could?"

Be honest. The interviewer wants to know if you'll be happy. Are you willing to make

some sacrifices to get your career on the right track? Your degree of motivation is an

important selection factor.

Job Interview Questions 17

"What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself five or ten years from now?"

Be realistic! Pie-in-the-sky goals label you as immature. One or two management jumps

in 3-5 years is a reasonable goal. If your track record indicates you're in line for senior

management in 10 years, then mention it. If you've had a rocky road, be introspective.

Job Interview Questions 18

"Why should we hire you for this position? What kinds of contributions would you

make?"

This is a good chance to summarise. By now, you should know the key problems.

Restate and show how you would address them. Don't be arrogantinstead

demonstrate a thoughtful, organised and strong attitude.
