The Top 10 Questions for Job Interview

1. Tell me about yourself?

Many interviewees keep silent when they are asked with such questions since they do not know where to start.

The good suggestion is to briefly tell the interviewers about yourself with chronicle order, including career path

and education background. You may also add your career objectives, suitable qualifications.

2. Why do you want to work with us or why does our company interest you?

You need to deliver clear answer and show your eagerness how you are interested in their organization. You may

need some corporate background, understand the responsibilities of position you apply for or even show them

how your skills can help improve their organizations. Do not pay too much atten tion on salary.

3. Why do you resign from the previous company?

The interviewer may want to know if you have problems with your previous workplace. If you do not have such

problems, you may simply answer them with the reasons such as the company was closed or had to lay off the

employees or the unsecured position in case you were temporary staff. If you did have problems with your

previous workplace, you should tell the truth and explain the problems with your previous workplace of employer

in a good manner. You should also express that you are rational enough and have improved from the mistakes.

4. What are your outstanding skills/abilities?

In case you have done enough research about the organization you apply for, you may match your skills or

abilities that will contribute the benefits for this organization.

5. What is/are your weak point(s)?

You may think positively how to turn such weak point(s) to be your strength(s). For instance, you are always

worried about working hard but you are willing to work extra hours to make sure that the assignment will be

accomplished.

6. What is your preferred working style? Work in team or work alone?

You should show flexibility by telling the truth and explain that though you prefer one choice to the othe r, you

still can work under both situations.

7. What is/are you career objective(s) or how do you plan your future?

The interviewers may want to know whether you projected or targeted objectives are suitable for the

organization. You should tell them that you are arrogant enough to plan for your future and you are willing to

learn new things to improve your performances.

8. What is/are your hobby (ies) or do you play sports?

The interviewers may want to know whether you have additional qualifications besides your working abilities and

after work lifestyles. For example, you are sociable and healthy enough to plan as a team member. Thus, you

can enhance the productivity for the organization.

9. What is your expected salary?

You may avoid answering this question by asking how can the organization pay for the best employee and try topersuade them to give you their offer. This is such an important question. You may need to learn the common

practice for salary payment in that organization to help you in negotiation.

10. Is there anything we should ask you?

You should use their opportunity to conclude about your outstanding qualifications and how such qualifications

can benefit the organization. You can get extra credit for yourself by expressing that you understand your new

position.

Q: "So, tell me about yourself "

This question may be used to assess your personality, preparation, communication skills

and ability to think on your feet. Prepare a list of what you do (your current or last job),

your strengths (stick to job-f ocussed skills), and a summary of your career tra jectory,

linking your experience to the job at hand.

Q: "Why did you leave your last job?"

Respond positively "...f or better career advancement or promotion opportunities,

increased responsibility, more greater variety at work..."

Q: "Why do you want to do this job / work f or this company?"

Demonstrate your knowledge of the company and re-emphasise your suitability f or the

position.

Q: "What do you think you have to offer this company?"

This is a chance to sing your own praises concentrating on the skills you have that

are required f or the position.

Q: "What do you think this position involves?"

This question is designed to reveal if you have thought about the position, done some

research, listened to the interviewer, and can summarise all of this inf ormation clearly.

Q: "What do you know about the company?"

Demonstrate your interest in the job, and your understanding of the organisation and

industry. Talk about the research you did into the company''s key areas of interest, its

size, its main customers or current status, making reference to your source of

inf ormation.



Q: "Do you +have any questions you would like to ask?"

Always prepare a question to ask the interviewer. Ask about the position, request

clarif ication of general inf ormation about the company, or summarise your

understanding and request conf irmation. If they have already answered your questions

tell them (be specif ic) so they know that you have thought about the position inpreparing f or the interview.

Q: "What do you believe are your key strengths?"

Prepare responses that give specif ic examples of your strengths at previous positions

that will support your job application.

Q: "What do you believe are your weaknesses?"

No-one readily admits real weaknesses in an interview situation. It is general knowledge

that this is an opportunity to turn the question into a positiv e. Think of something that

relates to your experience of work that is plausible as a weakness but is not really a

negative point. Eg; "I am very particular about detail", "I become very f ocussed on the

pro jects I am involved in"

Q: "Why have you had so many jobs?"

If you have had jobs in different industries or several positions in a short period,

describe the positives that you were learning new skills, f ollowing different career

paths, and travelling overseas etc. Refer to the experience you gained in past jobs that

relates to the position under discussion.

Q: "What do you en joy most about your current / last job?"

The trick with this question is to list what you have en joyed about work that strongly

relate to the key competencies of the position in question, and mention that you are

looking f orward to expanding your experience / scope in these areas.

Q: A question requesting conf idential inf ormation about a previous employer

This may be a testing of your discretion and professionalism. It is best to reply that you

would prefer not to divulge any conf idential inf ormation (sales f igures, f or instance),

citing the f act that you are sure your interviewer would expect the same discretion from

their employees.

Q: "Where do you see yourself in f ive years time?"

This is an assessment of the extent of your ambition and career planning. You should

demonstrate that your long term goals are appropriate f or the position being discussed



marketing experiences are also included.

My marketing experience has provided me with the opportunity to develop my skill as a

problem solver and negotiator. To be an energetic, responsible, analytical and honest

person, I feel that I would be a qualif ied candidate to work f or your company. I am

conf ident that I will be able to perf orm my duties to your satisf action.
