1. Tell Me About Yourself
You can expect to hear these words at any interview—but when properly prepared, you can remain impressively
calm and collected while providing a simple 90 second answer. This "ice breaking" exercise is yet
another chance to sell yourself to the interviewer by highlighting your strengths and talents.
Briefly Explain the Following
• Educational Background
• Work Experience, Campus Involvement, or Community Involvement
• Strengths and Abilities
• Career Objectives
2. Why should we hire you?
Think of what might set you apart from other candidates. Give examples of any work experience, special skills, or volunteer experience that you have.
3. Why do you want to work for our company/in this industry?
Talk about information that you found through research. Reply with the company's positive characteristics as you see them and tie in the fact that you share their vision.
4. What is your Ideal work environment? Be honest. Do you prefer an open or closed environment? Do you like working individually or on teams? What type of inter-office communication are you comfortable
with?
5. Where do you want to be In five years?
The interviewer wants to know if you are ambitious, if you can plan ahead and set goals for yourself. They could also be looking to see what your expectations are for the company.
6. What is your biggest weakness?
Admit a weakness that might not be perceived by the interviewer as something that could hinder your job performance. Emphasize the action you are taking to correct the "problem." Do not say "None." If you can, put a positive twist on your answer. Example - "I wish I was bilingual, but I am currently enrolled in a Spanish class and am hoping to gain a better understanding of the language and culture.
7. Tell me about a time when you failed. Demonstrate the ability to learn from your mistakes. It is important to show how you turned a negative situation into a positive one. The interviewer likely cares less about the actual situation and more so about how you answer the question.
8. What do you find stressful In a job? How do you handle stress?
The interviewer is looking to see how you achieve a balance between your personal and professional life. Give specific examples of when you have been in stressful situations. Any situation you give should have a positive outcome.
9. What are your strengths?
Give the interviewer three adjectives or even examples of your strengths. Try to think of skills and abilities that can relate to the specific position or organization.
10. What is your definition of success?
Be prepared to explain - in your own words - what you believe success to be. It can be helpful here to reference a person who represents your vision of success.
Be prepared when you are going to attend a interview.
ALL THE BEST
