What will you do if you don't get this position?50. What is the first thing you would change, if you were to start work here? Question 1: Why Do You Want To Work For Us?It‟s rare for an interview not to include this question.The good news is that it‟s an easy one to prepare for.Most companies want to recruit people who are enthusiastic about the company and itsproducts. They don‟t want people on the team who “ended up there by accident”. So this isyour chance to show why working for the company is important to you and why you thinkyou will fit in.They will be looking for evidence that you can make a contribution and will beable to growinto the role they are recruiting.This question is designed to screen out candidates who aren‟t serious about the companyor may be using it as a stop-gap, while they look for something better.It‟s als o your chance to make the most of the company research you have done. Y ou canuse this opportunity to add comments that show you understand the company‟s position inthe market place; the role of its competitors and any challenges it may be facing.Sample Answer: “I'm not looking for just another pay check. I enjoy my work and am proudof my profession. Y our company produces a superior product/provides a superior service. Ishare the values that make this possible, which should enable me to fit in and complementthe team."Question 2: What interests you about this job?When you're asked what interests you about the position you are interviewing for, the bestway to respond is to describe the qualifications listed in the job posting, then connect themto your skills and experience. That way, the employer will see that you know about the jobyou're interviewing for (not everyone does) and that you have the qualifications necessaryto do the job.For example, if you were interviewing for a Human Resources Manager job where youwould be responsible for recruiting, orientation, and training, you will want to discuss howyou were responsible for these functions in your past positions, and why you are interestedin continuing to develop your expertise in Human Resources management. Another example would be if you were interviewing for a Programmer / Analyst position. Inthat case, you would mention your interest in learning and excelling at new technologies,your experience in programming both new applications, and your interest in and yourability to problem solve.In all cases, you will want to convey your enthusiasm for the opportunity to interview, alongwith your solid ability to do the job.Question 3: What do you know about Our Company?A typical job interview question, asked to find out how much company research you haveconducted, is "What do you know about this company?"Prepare in advance, and in a word, research, so, you can provide relevant and currentinformation about your prospective employer to the inte rviewer. Start by researching thecompany online. Review the "About Us" section of the company web site. Google thecompany, read blogs that mention it, and check Discussion Boards and social networkingsites.Use the information you have gathered to create a bulleted list of relevant information thatyou can easily remember during the interview. T aking the time to research will help youmake a good impression with how much you know about the company. Question 4: What challenges are you looking for in this position?A typical interview question to determine what you are looking for your in next job, andwhether you would be a good fit for the position being hired for, is "What challenges areyou looking for in a position?"The best way to answer questions about the challenges you are seeking is to discuss howyou would like to be able to effectively utilize your skills and experience if you were hiredfor the job.Y ou can also mention that you are motivated by challenges, have the ability to effectivelymeet challenges, and have the flexibility and skills necessary to handle a challenging job.Y ou can continue by describing specific examples of challenges you have met and goalsyou have achieved in the past.Question 5: Who was your best boss and who was the worst?I've learned from each boss I've had. From the good ones I learnt what to do, from thechallenging ones - what not to do.Early in my career, I had a mentor who helped me a great deal, we still stay in touch. I'vehonestly learned something from each boss I've had.Question 6: What have you been doing since your last job?If you have an employment gap on your resume, the interviewer will probably ask you whatyou have been doing while you were out of work.The best way to answer this question is to be honest, but do have an answer prepared.Y ou will want to let the interviewer know that you were busy and active, regardless ofwhether you were out of work by choice, or otherwise.As I said, it doesn't really matter what you did, as long as you have an explanation. Hiringmanagers understand that people lose their job - it can happen to anyone - and it's notalways easy to find a new job fast. Also, there are legitimate non-employment reasons forbeing out of the workforce.Question 7: Why did you choose this particular career path?Sometimes in interviews, you will be asked questions that lend themselves to be answeredvaguely or with lengthy explanations. T ake this opportunity to direct your answer in a waythat connects you with the position and company, be succinct and support your answerwith appropriate specific examples.Sample Answer: "I chose advertising because I have always been a strong communicatorwith a good eye for design. I have a particular interest in creating dynamic eye-catchingpieces that support a new product being introduced to the market. I also like the fast-pacedhigh-energy environment that seems to be commonplace in the advertising industry."Advice: Y our answer needs to convince the interviewers that your skills are exactly whatthey want. They want to know if you have a realistic view of what it is like to work in theirindustry. Be specific; show them that their industry and your career goals are in sync.Question 8: What are your aspirations beyond this job?Again, don't fall into the trap of specifying job titles. Stick to a natural progression you seeas plausible. How should this job grow for the good of the organization? Then turn yourattention once again to the job at hand. If you seem too interested in what liesbeyond thisjob, the interviewer will fear that you won't stick around for long.Sample Answer: Beyond this job as a marketing assistant, I see myself moving up throughmarketing analysis into brand management and eventually running a category. I'm awarethat there are several skills I need to develop in the interval, and I believe with yourcontinuing-education program and my own motivation for self-improvement, I'll have thoseskills when the opportunities arise for greater responsibility. That's why I'm determined tolearn from the ground up, starting as a marketing assistant.Question 9: Why do you think this industry would sustain your interest in the longhaul?What expectations or projects do you have for the business that would enable you to growwithout necessarily advancing? What excites you about the business? What proof can youoffer that your interest has already come from a deep curiosity-perhaps going back at leasta few years-rather than a current whim you'll outgrow?Sample Answer: The technology in the industry is changing so rapidly that I see lots ofroom for job enhancement regardless of promotions. I'm particularly interested in the manyapplications for multimedia as a training tool.Question 10: Tell me about yourself?This is not an invitation to ramble on. If the context isn't clear, you need to know moreabout the question before giving an answer. In such a situation, you could ask, "Is there aparticular aspect of my background that you would like more information on?" This willenable the interviewer to help you find the appropriate focus and avoid discussingirrelevancies.Whichever direction your answer ultimately takes, be sure that it has some relevance tothe world of your professional endeavours. The tale you tell should demonstrate, or referto, one or more of your key behavioural profiles in action--perhaps honesty, integrity, beinga team player, or determination. If you choose "team player" (maybe you're the star playeron your team tennis group), you can tell a story about yourself outside of work that alsospeaks volumes about you at work. In part, your answer should make the connectionbetween the two, such as, "I put my heart into everything I do, whether it be sports or work.I find that getting along with teammates--or professional peers--makes life more enjoyableand productive."Or you might describe yourself as someone who is able to communicate with a variety ofpeople, so give an example from your personal life that indicates an ability to communicatealso at work.This isn't a question that you can answer effectively off the cuff. T ake some time inadvance to think about yourself and those aspects of your personality and/or backgroundthat you'd like to promote or feature for your interviewer.Question 11: What has been the biggest disappointment in your life?Y our response to the question "What has been the greatest disappointment in your life?"will help the interviewer determine know how easily you are discouraged. Sample Answer: If possible, tell about a personal disappointment i.e. the early death of aparent, child, or school friend. Believe it or not, it is okay to have not had a "greatest"disappointment.Question 12: What are your pet peeves?Y our response to the question "What are your pet peeves?" will help the interviewerdetermine if you would be a good fit with the company culture.Sample Answer: I do not have a pet peeve. If something is bothering me, I step back,analyse "why", and find a good solution. If you asked my teenage daughter she would tellyou my pet peeve is the volume on her radio!Question 13: How has your education prepared you for your career? This is a broad question and you need to focus on the behavioural examples in youreducational background which specifically align to the required compete ncies for thecareer.Sample Answer: My education has focused on not only the learning the fundamentals, butalso on the practical application of the information learned within those classes. Forexample, I played a lead role in a class project where we gathered and analysed bestpractice data from this industry. Let me tell you more about the results . . . Focus on behavioural examples supporting the key competencies for the career. Then askif they would like to hear more examples.Question 14: When was the last time you were angry and what happened?When the interviewer asks "When Was the Last Time Y ou Were Angry? What Happened?"he or she wants to know if you lose control. The real meaning of the word "angry", to aninterviewer, is loss of control and it's important to know how you handle situations whenyou're angry.Sample Answer: Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose control. When I getstressed, I step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and thenbegin to formulate a plan of action.Question 15: How do you evaluate success?I evaluate success in different ways. At work, it is meeting the goals set by my supervisorsand my fellow workers. It is my understanding, from talking to other employees, that theGGR Company is recognized for not only rewarding success, but giving employeesopportunity to grow as well. After work, I enjoy playing softball, so success on the field iscatching the winning pop-up.Question 16: What are the major reasons for your success?This is not the time to become extremely self-centred and arrogant. Keep in mind thatemployers are often looking for team players rather than Lone Rangers. A good responseto this question may relate to a mentor/and or philosophy of work or the people you workwith. Also, use this question as an opportunity to inquire about an appropriate "fit forsuccess" with this company.Question 16: Describe a typical work week for you.Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they areworking in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for and howyour current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experiencewith the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions.It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk about non-work related activities that youdo on company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how they are often late because theyhave to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to work at the gym.Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that you're organized ("Thefirst thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I prioritize myactivities for the week.") and efficient.Question 17: How would you describe the pace at which you work? When you're asked to describe the pace at which you work, be careful how you respond.This is another question where faster isn't necessarily better. Most employers would ratherhire employees who work at a steady pace. Someone who is too slow to get the job donein a reasonable time frame isn't going to be a good hire. Neither is a candidate who worksfrenetically all day.Options for answering this question include saying that you work at a steady pace, butusually complete work in advance of the deadline. Discuss your ability to manage projectsand get them done on, or ahead, of schedule. If you work at a job where you have setcriteria (i.e. number of calls made or responded to) that measures accomplishments,discuss how you have achieved or exceeded those goals.Question 18: Give me proof of your persuasiveness.This is a question about leadership, but try not to use an example in which you were thedesignated leader. If possible, describe a time when you didn't really haveauthority butinstead used your powers of persuasion to get people on your side. Describe your goaland the outcome of your efforts. Why did people trust or believe you?Sample Answer: During my summer internship I was assigned the task of conducting abenchmarking study for all the communication expenditures for a major utility. I had to getthe consensus of employees in several different departments. Unfortunately, they resentedthe fact that I was just a summer intern, and they refused to cooperate. I had to scheduleindividual meetings with every employee and persuade each one that I was doing whatwould be ultimately to his or her own department and to the company. After a frustratingmonth, I finally got everyone's cooperation, the project went flawlessly, and in the end Ireceived a bonus for my efforts.Question 19: Would your current boss describe you as the type of person who goesthat extra mile?When interviewing with companies, you will often be asked questions that seem straightforward to answer. However more often than not - a …yes‟ …no‟ answer is not goodenough. Always try to back up what you are saying with examples, as this will validatewhat you are trying to say.Sample Answer: "Absolutely. In fact, on my annual evaluatio ns, he writes that I am themost dependable and flexible person on his staff. I think this is mostly because of myability to prioritise."Advice: Share an example or experience that demonstrates your dependability orwillingness to tackle a tough project. If you describe "long hours of work," make sure thatyou prove the hours were productive, and not the result of poor time management.Question 20: What new skills or ideas do you bring to the job that our internalcandidates don't offer?Often in an interview, you will be asked to separate yourself from other candidates whomay be more qualified or may be less of a risk-factor.Sample Answer: "Because I've worked with the oldest player in this industry, I can help youavoid some of the mistakes we made in our established markets."Advice: This question addresses your motivation in adding "true value" to the job. Evaluatethe job carefully, considering current limitations or weaknesses in the department and yourunique abilities. Y our ability here to prove "I offer what you need and then some" couldland you the job.Question 21: Give us an example of a situation where you didn't meet your goals orobjectives.What they're looking for with this one is an example of where objectives weren't met andwhat you did to rectify the situation.Better still, provide an example of where things almost went wrong and what you did toprevent it.Beware: a common trap to fall into is to give one of the following two answers: Bad: "I can't think of such a situation."This makes you either seem unbelievably perfect (i.e. arrogant) or completely naïve andunable to spot and avoid potential disaster.Bad: Give an example of a situation that went wrong, but not realise until you're half waythrough the story that it doesn't have a happy ending!Try to make the examples relevant to the job for which you are applying. However, it's generally acceptable to offer non-work related examples, if these are goodillustrations of transferable skills required for the job.Question 22: Give us an example of a situation where you faced conflict or difficultcommunication problems.This is not the time to tell the interviewer how much you hate your current boss orcolleagues!It‟s also not the point to launch into a tirade about how difficult pe ople in your office are towork with and how many arguments you have.So what are they looking for? They‟re looking for someone who can rise above conflict anddiffuse the emotions, finding a win-win solution.Basically, recruiters want to employ people who will get on well with others, whilst stilldelivering the company‟s objectives.This type of question is your chance to demonstrate your interpersonal and team-workingskills.The interviewer will be looking for maturity and the ability to be able to keep your calm,whilst others around you are losing theirs. Don‟t feel you have to provide an answer thatgives you full credit for the solution –it can often be more powerful (if it‟s true) todemonstrate how you worked with others to find a fix.Practise your answer to this question. It can have many guises, but is almost guaranteedto be asked in some form.Question 23: Have you ever had a conflict with a boss or professor? How was itresolved?Note that if you say no, most interviewers will keep drilling deeper to find a conflict. Thekey is how you behaviourally reacted to conflict and what you did to resolve it. For example: “Y es, I have had conflicts in the past. Never major ones, but there have beendisagreements that needed to be resolved. I've found that when conflict occurs, it helps tofully understand the other person‟s perspective, so I take time to listen to their point ofview, and then I seek to work out a collaborative solution. For example . . .”Focus your answer on the behavioural process for resolving the conflict and workingcollaboratively.Question 24: If you know your boss is 100% wrong about something, how wouldyou handle this?An answer that works well is: "It depends on the situation and the personality of thesupervisor." T o elaborate, give examples:My present supervisor does not like to have his authority questioned. He's fairly new onthe job and almost all of the people he supervises have been on the job longer than hehas. He's never bothered to learn the procedures, how things are done or how thecomputer system works. But if any of us tell him that how he wants something done won'twork, he gets extremely angry. So, I never tell him he's wrong. Never. Whatever he tellsme to do, I smile and say "okay." Then if I know a way to get it done that will work, I do itthat way, give him the results he wants and never tell him I didn't do it the way he told meto. He got the results and is happy. I saved myself the stress of being yelled at and gavehim what he wanted, so I'm happy.My prior supervisor was more easy-going and if I told her "you know, I think it might workbetter if I do what you asked in such and such a way," she say "okay, try it."If I were a new hire on a job, I would probably not question a supervisor because I mightthink I didn't know enough. Except on the new job I'm going to. The director has admittedthat she's new on the job and there are a lot of things that a secretary does that shedoesn't know how to do, so she will be depending on me to know how to keep the officerunning.Question 25: Where do you see yourself in 3 / 5/ 10 years time?Err...Not a good response.So what might an employer be looking for with this question?• Are you serious about the company? Is the company part of your long-term plan, or arethey a stepping stone?• Are you serious about your career?• Do you know where you want to go?• How does this job help you get there?• Are you ambitious? This can be positive or negative.• How does this job fit within your longer-term plans? Is this job just a stop-gap? If the jobis part of your strategy, how likely are you to want to be promoted?• Do you have any longer-term plans? They may use this to judge how far you would planahead in your new role.This question is a good opportunity to show your commitment to the role and knowledge ofthe company‟s structure and vision.Beware of seeming to threaten your future manager, if they‟re interviewing you.Ahumorous answer we have often heard to this question is “doing your job”. This may betrue and may even get a laugh, but some managers are quite insecure and may not wantto hire someone who they fear would undermine them.Sample Answer: "In five years, I would like to have progressed to the point where I havebottom-line responsibility and the chance to lead an operations unit." Advice: Avoid the urge to describe job titles; this makes you seem unbending andunrealistic, since you do not know or control the system of promotion. Describe newexperiences or responsibilities you'd like to add in the future that build on the current jobyou are applying for.Question 26: How do you plan to achieve those goals?As a follow-up to the above question the interviewer will often ask how you plan onachieving those goals. A good answer to this question will speak specifically about whatyou are going to accomplish and how you are going to accomplish it. Examples of goodresponses include:I plan on gaining additional skills by taking related classes and continuing my involvementwith a variety of professional associations.I noticed that XYZ Company (the company you are interviewing with) provides in-housetraining for employees and I would certainly be interested in taking classes that would berelevant.I will continue my professional development my participating in conferences, attendingseminars, and continuing my education.Question 27: What drives you to achieve your objectives?An interviewer is looking to fulfil certain competencies, in this case motivation andcommitment. “Y ou might say …I like doing a job well and perform best when stretched‟,”says Tim Forster, the head of UK experienced recruitment at Pricewaterhouse Coopers.Question 28: What are you looking for in your next job? What is important to you?。

But do you really understand what the interviewer needs to know?"Most [candidates] have no idea why a recruiter asks a particular question," says Brad Karsh, a former recruiting professional for advertising giant Leo Burnett and current president of career consulting firm Job Bound. "They tend to think it's a competition to outwit the interviewer."The reality is that employers have neither the time nor inclination to play games with you, especially when hiring. Your interviewer is nottrying to outguess you -- he's trying to assess your answers to six key questions:Do You Have the Skills to Do the Job?According to Karsh, the employer must first determine whether you have the necessary hard skills for the position, e.g., the programming knowledge for a database administration job or the writing chops to be a newspaper reporter. "By really probing into what the candidate has done in the past, an interviewer can tap into hard skills."But the interviewer is also looking for key soft skills you'll need to succeed in the job and organization, such as the ability to work well on teams or "the requisite common sense to figure things out with some basic training," says Terese Corey Blanck, director of student development at internship company Student Experience and a partner in College to Career, a consulting firm.Do You Fit?"Every organization's first thought is about fit and potentially fit in a certain department," Corey Blanck says. That means the interviewer is trying to pinpoint not only whether you match up well with both the company's and department's activities but also whether you'll complement the talents of your potential coworkers.Do You Understand the Company and Its Purpose?If the organization fits well with your career aspirations, you'll naturally be motivated to do good work there -- and stay more than a month or two, Corey Blanck reasons. "I don't want someone to take the position because it's a job and it fits their skills," she says. "I want them to be excited about our mission and what we do."How Do You Stack Up Against the Competition?You're being evaluated in relation to other candidates for the job. In other words, this test is graded on a curve. So the interviewer will constantly be comparing your performance with that of the other candidates'.Do You Have the Right Mind-Set for the Job and Company?"I'm always looking for someone who has a can-do type of attitude," Corey Blanck explains. "I want someone who wants to be challenged and is internally motivated to do well.Corey Blanck points out that an employer can't train for this essential trait. "But you can hire for it," she says. "And if you don't, you'll end up with a lower-performing employee."Do You Want the Job?Most employers know better than to believe everyone they interview actually wants the position being offered. They understand some candidates are exploring their options, while others are using an interview with a company they don't care about to hone their interview skills.So you have to prove you really want the job, says Al Pollard, senior college recruiter for Countrywide Financial. "I use the ditch-digger analogy," he says. "Many of us can dig ditches, but few are willing to -- and even fewer want to."。

Job Interview Questions & AnswersAlthough many candidates dread them, job interview questions are wonderful things! They are your greatest opportunity to prove to the interviewer that you are the best person for the job!The key is to give better answers than anyone else.To do this, you must:1.Anticipate likely questions;2.Develop excellent answers;3.Practice answering themBe enthusiastic and confident when responding to questions. Don't rush your answers, but don't ramble on and on, either.Try to, um, avoid, like, using unnecessary words, right? And um, repeating yourself or, like, annoying phrases, you know?A good technique is to write out your answers to the questions you anticipate, then edit them to make them more concise. Then practice your polished answers out loud, over and over. If you can have someone help you do a "mock interview," that would be the best way to do this.Most questions will relate either to your ability to do the job or to the type of employee you will be. Here's one that is very commonly used to help the interviewer learn about both:"Tell me a little about yourself."When responding to this request, you should focus on both your personal and professional values. Always be honest, but talk about your best traits only, especially those that relate to the position for which you are applying. Highlight experiences and accomplishments you are most proud of. Here's an example:"I'm an experienced communications specialist with extensive knowledge of public information tools and techniques. I've developed comprehensive communication plans for major public events, written dozens of articles accepted by worldwide publications, and created specialized educational programs for adults and students. I am always eager to learn new methods and procedures, and have implemented continuous improvement techniques in my past positions that saved money and increased productivity. I likeworking with people and enjoy group projects, but am also a self-starter who doesn't mind working on my own. I'm a volunteer with the local chapter of Special Olympics and enjoy participating in community events. My goals are to complete my Master's Degree and broaden my experiences with community relations."Remember to tailor your response to the specific job. By studying the job announcement, you'll get a good idea of the skills and experience being sought. Work those into your response.Consider this your own personal commercial. If the interview consisted of only this ONE chance to sell yourself, what would you say?"What do you feel has been your greatest work-related accomplishment?"Choose one example from your past that was important to you and helped the company you worked for. Give specific details about what you did, how you did it, and what the results were. Try to pick an accomplishment that relates to the position for which you are applying. Employers like to hear about accomplishments that reduced expenses, raised revenues, solved problems or enhanced a company's reputation."What is your greatest strength?"This is a great chance to highlight your best skills. Don't pick just one, focus on your top three or four. Some examples are: leadership skills, team-building skills, and organizational skills. Determine which strengths would fit best with the position for which you are applying. For example, if the job announcement stresses the ability to handle multiple tasks, you could say: "I'm good at organizational skills, prioritization and time management. But my greatest strength is my ability to effectively handle multiple projects and deadlines.""What is your greatest weakness?"Be careful with this one. Most interview guides will tell you to answer it with a positive trait disguised as a weakness. For example, "I tend to expect others to work as hard as I do," or "I'm a bit of a perfectionist." Interviewers have heard these "canned" answers over and over again. To stand out, be more original and state a true weakness, but then emphasize what you've done to overcome it. For example: "I've had trouble delegating duties to others because I felt I could do things better myself. This has sometimes backfired because I'd end up with more than I could handle and the quality of my work would suffer. But I've taken courses in time management and learned effective delegation techniques, and I feel I've overcome this weakness."IMPORTANT: Be sure the weakness you talk about is NOT a key element of the position!"How do you handle stressful situations?"Give some examples of stressful situations you've dealt with in the past. Tell how you use time management, problem-solving or decision-making skills to reduce stress. For example, tell them that making a "to-do" list helps. Site stress-reducing techniques such as stretching and taking a break. Don't be afaid to admit that you will ask for assistance if you are feeling overwhelmed.If it's true, say you actually work better under pressure."What is the toughest problem you've had to face, and how did you overcome it?"Try to make this about a problem that faced your company and not just you or your particular work group. The bigger the problem, the better. Give specific examples of the skills and techniques you used to resolve this problem. Emphasize the successful results. Be generous in sharing credit if it was a team effort, but be sure to highlight your specific role."Have you ever had to discipline a problem employee? If so, how did you handle it?"This is a likely question if the position for which you are applying requires supervisory duties. Explain how you used problem-solving skills, listening skills, and coaching skills to help the employee. If those techniques turned the employee around, be sure to say so.If those techniques failed, tell how you followed the company's policies and what the end result was."Why do you want this position?"Here's where your research about the company will help you stand out among the other candidates. Explain how you've always wanted the opportunity to work with a company that... provides a vital public service, leads the industry in innovative products, whatever... find something specific about that company that you can tie in with your answer. Explain how your qualifications and goals complement the company's mission, vision and values (use specific examples). If you are applying for a position in a company for which you already work, explain how you'll be able to apply and expand on the knowledge and experience you've gained from your current position, and will be able to increase your contributions and value to the company through your new responsibilities."Why are you the best person for this job?"As with all other questions, be confident and enthusiastic when you answer this. Don't try to say you are the best qualified person, because you don't know the qualifications of the other applicants. Instead, emphasize several reasons why you should be hired. For example: "I've got extensive experience in [name the appropriate field] and have the specific skills you are looking for. I'm a fast learner who adapts quickly to change andwill hit the ground running. I'm dedicated and enthusiastic about helping your company meet its goals, and will provide top-quality results with minimal oversite. I'm anoutstanding performer who takes pride in my work. You won't have any regrets when you hire me."UNEXPECTED QUESTIONSInterview questions and answers can only be predicted and prepared for to a certain extent. There are endless variations and no way to know every question in advance. But that doesn't matter. Because you know there will be unexpected questions, you will not cringe or freak out when they pop up, as some applicants will. Instead, you will turn them into opportunities to shine even more brightly.No one knows you better than you. Memorize a list of your best features, your best selling points. Use every opportunity and unexpected question to mention these.Realize that sometimes what you say isn't as important as how you say it. Be confident, enthusiastic, and remember to smile often.QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASKOften the interviewer's last question is, "Do you have any questions for me?" Candidates who do not have questions show a lack of initiative and give the impression that they have minimal interest in the position. Stand out from those lazy job seekers by asking questions!Have your questions ready in advance. Relate them to the company or its accomplishments/challenges (your research of the company will show and further impress the interviewer). Don't ask any question that shows that you have not done your research about the company.Do not ask questions related to you, such as "When will I be eligible for my first raise?" or "How often will I be subjected to a performance review?" Don't bring up money. (You can do that after you are offered the job.)In addition to specific questions you develop based on what the company does, here are some sample generic questions:What do you enjoy most about working here?Be sure the person you ask actually works for the company. Some organizations, especially public agencies, have interview panels in which employees from other agencies participate.Is there anything I've mentioned that makes you think I'm not the best candidate for this job?If they do mention something that's bothering them about you, such as lack of specific experience, this gives you a last-ditch effort to change their opinion about you. If you've thought about your possible weaknesses in advance, you should have a prepared answer to those weaknesses. For example, "I know I have limited experience in this field, but what I lack in specific experience I make up for in enthusiasm and desire to excel. I'm a fast learner and I'll work harder than anyone else to be a top producer on your team."When do you expect to make your final decision?Be sure to ask that! Failure to do so may give the impression that you're not that interested, and you need to know when to follow up.。
