Review these typical interview questions and think about how you would
answer them. Read the questions listed; you will also find some
strategy suggestions with it.
(Excerpted from the book The Accelerated Job Search by Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D, published by The Management Advantage, Inc.)
1. Tell me about yourself:
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short
statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound
rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise.
Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to
the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest
back and work up to the present.
2. Why did you leave your last job?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major
problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers
or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep
smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
reasons.
3. What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for.
If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.
4. Do you consider yourself successful?
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are
on track to achieve the others.
5. What do co-workers say about you?
Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific
statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith
Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It
is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.
6. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the organization
before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are
going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?
7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide
variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.
Have some good ones handy to mention.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is
a distraction.
9. Why do you want to work for this organization?
This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the
research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term
career goals.
10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This
can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not
relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought
of.
11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if
you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,
That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.
12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.
Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather
than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,
just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.
13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I’d like
it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I’m doing a good job.
14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you
like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the
right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the
individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the
organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in
force.
15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here.
Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the
type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a
benefit to the organization.
16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type
of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.
17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?
If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying
negative things about the people or organization involved.
18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to
highlight your best points as they relate to the position being
discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.
19. Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not
mention any other candidates to make a comparison.
20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made
Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted
and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work
applied for is a real plus.
21. What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with
anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get
along with folks is great.
22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability
to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude
23. Tell me about your dream job.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you
are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another
job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with
this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.
24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?
Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.
25. What are you looking for in a job?
See answer # 23
26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?
Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization,
violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will
label you as a whiner.
27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is
no better answer.
28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
There are numerous good possibilities:
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,
Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver
29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
30. What has disappointed you about a job?
Don’t get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did
not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.
31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.
You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an
example that relates to the type of position applied for.
32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?
Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want
another job more than this one.
33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?
This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are:
Challenge, Achievement, Recognition
34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?
This is up to you. Be totally honest.
35. How would you know you were successful on this job?
Several ways are good measures:
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a
success.Your boss tell you that you are successful
36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?
You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if
you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get
the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems
later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself
future grief.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.
38. Describe your management style.
Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.
39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?
Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make
it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An
example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and
thus throwing coordination off.
40. Do you have any blind spots?
Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind
spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do
their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.
41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?
Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.
42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?
Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well
qualified for the position.
43. How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?
First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about,
bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working
quick learner.
44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?
Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of
humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All
bosses think they have these traits.
45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute betweenothers.
Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique
and not the dispute you settled.
46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?
Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.
47. Describe your work ethic.
Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to
get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.
48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?
Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show
acceptance and no negative feelings.
49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.
Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.
50. Do you have any questions for me?
Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are
examples.
Might be a british but one of the questions I always get asked is my biggest weakness.
For me there are two approaches to this either something really obvious like lacking experience (I’m a recent graduate) or the biggest interview cliche saying that you can work to hard. But I’ve had both thrown back in my face in a couple of interviews so what’s the answer should I just be honest?
Always respond with a weakness that is real/authentic (about self vs. business processes) but always offer a way that you have overcome the weakness and now have developed this into a strength…
Unless it is something that a boss is defenitley not going to be looking for in a person e.g. if your lazy you would’nt mention it because it would straight away ruin the interview. You may be lucky and have a good interviewer who is willing to give you a chance on the job though.
Hi

Hi John
Tks for 103 common interview questions. I like it.
Peter/Rgs
i think if u feel that the interviewer is quite friendly nature and has good sense of humour then answer like i’n very fond of chocolates/icecreams and something like that.. but be careful that if u answer all the question in very confident manner.. But if u think that u dont know what HR is like then be frank enough to reply n even include that u r trying to overcome that by some alternatives and u r confident that u’ll overcome by tat time..

I’ve had this asked of me in America, too. My answer (luckily, I’d prepared one!) was to go “Ummm.” [thinking hard for a second or two] and then give them something totally unrelated to the job at hand. In my case, I was really having nothing to do with budgets and numbers, but guessed that I had a weakness about doing math problems in my head, and gave an example of someone I knew who could walk into a room and do mental arithmetic calculations about the amount of electricity being used.
Bosco – this is the absolute best answer I have come across for the weakness question. I have been looking for an appropriate question for years!!!! Thank you so much! I have an interview this week and will definitely be using the skill answer to that question.
Hi all of you!
23. Tell me about your dream job.
The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.
The best way to answer this is simply mention a specific skill, but you are planning on developing or take courses to improve yourself. For example, if you are an accountant, say that you would like to improve your knowledge in taxation. If you work with technology, say that your weakness is not to know enough about certain technology/language/operating-system, and that you want to take training.
This is very good answer because: (1) everybody understands that nobody can know everything, (2) it’s a weakness you can remedy, and (3) show that you are willing to improve your knowledge or skills.
Hi Luis
Tks for your comments.
Good ideals
hi….luis u r r8. I think its a big options to success……….
For what was my question was what kind of customers do you like I responded;
I dont like niggers, mexican, jews or indians, other wise I am good.
Thanks
Too funny Jessica! I too, wish I had the nerve to say the same thing!
So Ignorant to say that statement!
Jessica,
I TRIED TO LET THIS ONE GO, BUT I COULD NOT. HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH AN IGNORANT THING. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HOW IGNORANT YOU REALLY ARE. A PERSON LIKE YOU WOULD NOT DARE SAY SUCH A THING WHILE IN THE COMPANY OF THE SO CALLED ABOVE MENTIONED. BETTER YET A PERSON LIKE YOU WOULD NOT EVEN THINK SUCH A THING WHILE WITH EITHER ONE. DO YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHY? OF COURSE NOT…YOU ARE IGNORANT. YOU USE A WEBSITE/INTERNET TO REALLY SAY HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE. YOU ARE VERY PATHETIC. I WILL SAY THIS…COUNT YOUR DAYS TO SEE HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE YOU HAVE RELY ON SOMEONE, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR SKIN COLOR MAY BE.
IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF THINKING…TRY THIS…
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED YOUR FAMILY TREE?
WAS IT WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE? I’M SURE YOU ARE NOT 100% PURE OF WHATEVER YOUR RACE MAY BE.
i’M SORRY, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, YOUR FAMILY TREE IS NOT THE TREE IN THE FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE.
NOW…THANK YOU!
you fucking ignorant cunt
you fucking ignorant cunts (jessica and gary), hope you both haven’t procreated and produced more poisoned minds with your revolting racism
Jessica, I just read your comment and if you were being serious, I can only say that you are a despicable and sick “human being” and I use the term “human being” very lightly. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you can not take all the credit…I also would blame your parents for raising such a heartless and bigoted person. After all you heard the saying “the fruit does not fall far from the tree” I’m sure your parents are also despicable people. People like yourself make me sick!!!
Oh lord, some people just can’t take a freekin joke. Lighten up people and quit taking yourselves so damn serious. If Dave Chappell was to do that on a comedy skit, you all would be laughing your asses off.
Plus, remember Jessica’s response next time you get a letter for jury duty, you’re guaranteed not to be called up! Make sure you end with your own race. That way they know you hate everyone equally! (This is a joke so it is ok to laugh).
you know what, i think sue was right but, i would have been a little nastier than that. you just plain out stupid to say somethung like that. i feel SORRRRRRRRRY!!!!!!!!!, FOR YOUR MOM AND DAD. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE THE WAY YOU WAS RAISED………YOU SUCK
thank you jessica you made my day a little better
Jessica & Gary – 2 morons who would never get a job in Australia with a comment like that not that you’d probably care… do you even know where Australia is???
i hate fucking niggers too. i will pay money to have the ten- foot pole surgically removed from all of your uptight assholes. fuck.
That a girl Jessica FUCK THE OTHER RACES!!! you should have put something about sand niggers and the nigger in our white house lol
well thanks because the devil is coming for you watch out for the vodoo honey
get the fucking sticks out of your asses. this is the fucking internet, you can say whatever the fuck you want. no shit people woulndt say racist remarks in an interveiw but this isnt a fucking interview so lighten the fuck up people…. christ.
Holy god damn people, what is the big deal with racism we all do it every fucking day and there is no problem with it. If Russel Peters can do it then why cant we? and what is with voodo honey WTF your are a dumb hoe
DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT TOTAL!!!!!
Jessica,
The real matter is that you do not like yourself for all of us are connected whether you like that fact or not. Too bad your so angry at the world. I hope you get well someday and see the sunlight of the spirit.
😠really guys your’re getting work up over this? your fighting a troll.
here’s a little lesson on the wonderful interwebz. whenever you see something ignorant like that, just let it go. please you are simply adding fuel to the fire making more people want to agree with her just to piss you off.
let’s put an end to trolling. just let te comment slide and enjoy your time on the interwebz 🙂
dont be such an asshole ! u rasist!!!
You go Jessica
Fuck niggers, mexicans,jews and indians
if u don’t like that fuck you too!
The message here is a simple one- racism is not funny.
I doubt Jessica really gave this answer. A job interview is certainly not a place to make these kinds jokes. Who would hire an insensitive moron like this?
joke or not that really is a stupid thing to say, I also feel sorry for your parents.
Funny ! lol
Buh i wouldnt ever say anythin like that, im not racist in anyway at all tho, i hav loads of coloured friends, all different races, but i Do hav a sense of humour, unlike anyone else below , except from Gary he got the joke 🙂
Lighten Up People Really,
Again Funny, 🙂
I hat Customer like Jessica.
YOU ARE A EVIL LITTLE FAT BITCH ALL OF THE “NIGGERS WILL FIND WERE YOU LIVE AND BEAT YOUR STUPID ASSES. YOU ARE THE MOST IGNORED PERSON ON THE INTERNET YOU AND THAT GARY GUY. BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I AM A VERY SMART PERSON AND I CAN FIND WERE YOU LIVE AND YOU PHONE NUMBER AND YOUR PARENTS PHONE NUMBER I WILL CALL AND CALL TILL YOU LEARN HOW TO RESPECT PEOPLE YOU DIRTY WHORE……AND I SAY THIS WITYH ALL CAPS BECAUSE I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately for you Dejasder, personal threats are treated much more severely than racist comments. While the original comment was racist, ignorant, or just in bad taste, your outburst would lead to a much more severe punishment than anything anyone previously had said if the person were to take it seriously.
While I sympathize with how a person could/would feel in this situation it does not help matters any to reinforce the behavior by allowing them the satisfaction of knowing they got to you. Especially in a way that could hold consequences for yourself rather than the person who offended you.
Hei Jessica does that mean that your racist?You seem to be a young person but you shocked me at this age and time you still hate other human beings or is it coz they are very hardworking -the mexicans,africans etc. You need to exit from that mentality and leave people alone and mind your own life even if you hate working with them or not just keep it to your pretty little white head and don’t let others know coz we don’t like you guys too but we don’t tell but rather keep it to our big foreign heads.Thank you and one thing without us so many things would be were they are today!!!!!GROW UP AND LET GO OF THE HATING MENTALITY LEAVE IT TO YOUR GRANDPA OR GRANDMA COZ THIS IS A NEW GENERATION HEADED BY ONEOF THE PEOPLE YOU HATE….MR PRESIDENT OBAMA full stop.
i would still like to maintain that all you people that dont findthe original comment, and the outcry of people afterwards funny, you need to lighten the fuck up. there is a giant stick up your ass that society has put there, and you need to remove it before you can have any fun in this life.
in response to allll of the feedback that jessica and gary recieved, it was not a proper comment on jessica,s behalf. although, in a situation like this you ALL must ask yourselves what makes you any better ? If jessica was serious , she may feel that way for blaming others( black, mexican..etc.) for things she believes theyy may be responsible for or maybe judging someone before getting to know them……..HMMM… seems similar to what you all have just done to her INNOCENT parents !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MAY NEVER ASSUME THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS TO BLAME FOR ONES ACTIONS !!!!!!!!! YOU ARE HARRRASSING HER FOR ( WHAT WAS PROBABLY A RESULT OF HER HUMOR) ….AND ATTTTTTACKING HER MOTHER AND FATHER !!!!!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR ALLOWING THIS COMMENTTO PUT YOU IN SUCH A PATHETIC STATE OF MIND(IN THE EXACT SAME CATAGORY AS UR CONDEMING) INSTEAD YOU SHOULD TRY A MORE CONTROLLED AND INSPIRING AND MAYBE EVEN EDUCATIONAL APPROACH…IN THE CASE , OF COURSE, THAT SHE WERE SERIOUS !!!! THINK PEOPLE , THINK ABOUT WHAT U R SAYING AND HOW U DIFFER FROM WHO U ARE ATTACKING !!!!
Hi jessica, every body is an human , one cannot say i don’t like to live air , i love water, i like cold , not hot, it all about nature , human is an nature gift to earth to which ever body has to be consider with all equal, no colour,no country, unless we love each other there is no peace, everybody is related to each other somewhere, some else in this goble.
People have right to like or don’t like for their own reason(s).
So let her alone
loL!!!
a fuck you u bigot die and burn in hells pit
your a stupid bitch i wish i new where you lived so you could say that to my face ill show you a nigger on the real white trash you are very stupid we would beat the shit out of you and any one else who talk shit
you are the kinda of person i would love to meet in person !!! your not funny … i hope some one beats the shit out of you my girl friend is black and i love here to dealth alot of them know how to treat people thats why i dont mess with dumb white girls like you!
@ micheal I think that u r absolutely right. @ Jessica that was kind of rude to say, all I know is that u would not say that to a black persons face… FYI! Hunni im black, and my mom taught me not to take any shit from anyone! I’m absolutely astonished, I have white men in my family and I am glad that they do not have your mentality. What you said is going to come back on you. Grow up, and this goes to everybody else that made a racist comment. And to the person that said that we have a black person in the white house, just to let you know a black man built it!
So……… did you get the job BITCH !!
BLACK POWER YOU MOTHER FUCKERS WE ARE GOING
TOO TAKE OVER THE WORLD OUR LEADER IS BLACK
OBAMA BITCHES YOU FUCKING trailer trash WHITE PEOPLE GOING DOWN 1 AT A TIME YEAH BLACKS MEXICANS INDIANS EVERYBODY IS UNITED AGAINST

BLACKS KILL THE WHITE AND WHITE FALL DOWN
WOW! People have way too much free time! lmao!
You guys are so funny.. I can’t believe that this informative web page turned into human hatred…but I guess that’s what you all do the best is hate….the most hateful people in the world if you ask me…and Austin…I’m sooooo glad that Obama being in the “White House” pisses you off…I’m tickled…love and peace everyone….
I have seen jessica eating the excreta of indian and drinking urine of indian
Hi!.. jesy.. fold your fingers and open the middle finger… f**k
Thank God for America! You do have freedom of speech. You, however, need to use your brain, mind and emotions. God forgive you!
She was joking!!! She did not mean that comment literally, jeez people! The hate going out towards her was much more real than what she portrayed. Please know that her comment was in bad taste, but your truthfully hateful responses (e.g. white racism, etc.) were disturbing.
dumb bitch.
@jessica okay so i know this was most likely a joke so i dont plan on talking about you in anyway…but for those that do think this way, that is pretty ignorant of you…im mexican -american & loveeee all cultures. im fluent in english and spanish and speak some arabic and some filipino. i love all cultures & i find it very amousing that people can have comments like these and think that it’s okay…racism=ignorance. my last 2 boyfriends have been arabic and i love white guys. yes, you can tell im sooo not racist.lol race is not something that should define anyone. every race has its pros and cons…we all have good and bad people, different traditions, etc. its not your race that defines you, its your abilities to succeed and your personality. its who you are as a person that defines you. much love, the least racist/judgemental person i know 🙂 best wishes.
wow one little comment like that and you people are still carrying on over a year later? fuck imagine if she said it to your face. im just surprised there are that many black/jew/mexicans/indians that can actually read english to respond to this… or did you guys have it translated?
you knw tht u can get F**d up for something like that rite cracker
why don’t u add ur mom to that list 😛
you’re an idiot! you have no culture-just ignorance!
jessica
you’re an idiot! you have no culture-just ignorance!
People like this don’t really deserve your anger. She may have been joking but it’s really not funny any way you look at it.
Also Lonzo, you’re showing about as much ignorance as Jessica. Quite a few white people respect other races and cultures and don’t think like that.
And being angry at something like this doesn’t mean you have a stick up your ass. It means you’re human and don’t like being blamed for who you are.
Funny!Are you single? I know someone who you would really get along with. He thinks just like you. Just wondering…
I’m back bitches and I still hate dem niggers jews homosexuals and arabs!!!
Did it ever occur to anyone here that our president is half white and half black…… not just black…….
so pretty much you are a racist. The exact type of Co-workers OR customers I and normal human beings can’t stand.
stupid racist bitch
I’m sure you didn’t get the position….so ignorant
That will get you out of jury duty, and won’t get you a job.
pineapples
y u dont like to work with them jessica ,tats may be above people where fucking jessica and her mother same time and jessica’s father use to wipe the cumon both of their
face ………..may be tats y bitch
Y’all nigguhs postin in a troll thread.
@Jessica……I’m sure you’ve spent countless months seeking employment. Life must be really lonely in your shallow world.
Jesssica, Hope your mum gets raped and ur dad dies of cancer. lets hope you dont have kids
Successful troll is successful
wow ur an idiot! the world doesnt need TRASH like you!! hope you expire soon!!
Jessica you are too racist and should work with your kind of people
In today’s times, we can’t even honestly express our likes and dislikes, thanks to a large population of those who need to improve. I am an Indian and I may not agree with your views but you, Jessica, have full right to express your views as they are. In fact you are among the few bold persons who still call a spade, a spade.
LOL…. Would love to have Jessica as a coworker….
Based on your comment Jessica, you revealed your own race. Hopefully you will have some experiences in life which will challenge your thinking and result in your acceptance of “others.” If we are to tolerate you, you are to tolerate us.
dont say anything bad if you dint want to be a bad Girl.
hi……………………
Guys, its funny because you would ABSOLUTELY NOT SAY THAT because its so despicable. Its irony. IRONY.
– Bubbles (the half-mexican black lesbian jew)
Yo all the people talking in caps lock, you should turn it off you look like stupid niggers
It’s rather funny actually, for all the blacks commenting (obviously, we know who you are with those names) saying how she is the “stupid” one and how you are so smart, please re-read what you have written. Poor grammar and lack of language art skills. Before, you go ahead and claim someone as stupid, please try to at least make sense and stop being so illiterate. You are making yourselves look bad. Go ahead and say how this will be “black America” because we have a black president. You are forgetting one small detail…he is Muslim too. So I do believe that before he gathers all the blacks and takes over, he will bomb all of you first.
Props to the original racist comment for having the balls to say it.
Hey
Most employers love a sense of character, something to differentiate you from the norm, while not being a bit too different. As stated below, you might pause and think for a few seconds and then state that your biggest weakness is “chocolate”, or some other hobby you crave. You’re turning a loaded question into one that gives you a bit of personality. Note, don’t be too different. You don’t want your employer to know that you are absolutely cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
LMAO! im spanish n not racist at all, but that is pretty funny. imagine an ignorant girl sayin this in an interview! the face on that person!! haha specially if that person interviewing her was of one of the races she mentioned! haha i wouldn be surprised is she got a punch to the throat! LMAO! good one jess, but just so everyone doesn get butthurt mention your own race at the end or something;)
Smiggs, when an interviewer asks you about your biggest weakness or weak point, you must always be positive in your answer and don’t go too deep in replying to this question because sometimes it is nothing more than a tricky question. You only reply by stating that if you knew what is your weak point, it won’t be a weak point of you anymore!
This is a very neutral answer to this question
That’s an american thing too…
For tech job interviews, I go read at http://bit.ly/hzRU2P
Hi! By this time, you may have been employed having successfully negotiated such tricky questions. Usually it is advisable to quote one of your areas of actual weakness, say communication skill, as your weakness. Your answer should sound confident to indicate that you have already started working on that particular weakness. Temperamental qualities should not be attributed as weakness since they are more associated with your personality.
You may communicate through this blog about your actual weakness. Hopefully we shall settle on something that would help people like us.
Good Luck.
Hi Smiggs
I agreed with you, weakness and strength questions are most important questions for an job interview. But I think now it is popular so that I like behavioral interview.
rgs
hahahaha yall ned to get a life and get off the computahh>:)
Okay dont dtate your biggest weakness state something what you are stronger.
This is a trick question. I’ve been asked this and have also asked people this question. The proper way to answer a question like this is to think of things that might be perceived as bad, but make them actually strengths like: “I’m my worst critic.” “I have a tendency to get so caught up in my work, that I forget the time.” “I’m a perfectionist.”
ha ha i think you all(i doesn’t mean all ) guys previously hadn’t get (or have not even studied but its not about study also )basic human being traits which show the various different colors of humanity…. think think before you say say something…at least two times..you don’t know what danger your said words or statement will bring that’s why only diplomatic people used to go to higher political places in all over the world and this is necessary traits for leader.its all about words what we say in our lives that’s use to bring change in our daily lives,society,and country and world as whole.its makes and our character and point out what type people we are…so friends…just think about it…
This is indeed a notable aspect there.
Regarding the “What is your greatest weakness?” question,
ugh! That question is a sure indicator that the person interviewing you does not know what theya re doing. It’s a sure loser. Either the applicant is honest and stupid enough to market their truly worst flaws (and every applicant has some serious flaws, like arrogance or laziness or sex obsession… they ALL have something that they ned to control as part of the human experience)… Either they tell that or they lie. The most common and cliche inexeperienced lie they tell is the perfectionist flaw… what Lakuma said. This might work, I suppose, since your interviewer is probably an idiot, but it’s also a sure sign that you are not very experienced as doing much beyond reading simplistic career books.
It’s a cliche answer to say you are super hard working… and somehow you truly greatest flaw is also what makes you a good worker… that’s so blatantly dishonest that it shows serious judgemental defieciencies. Can you imagine the worker who really thinks the fact that they are super detail oriented or a perfectionist is their greatest weakness? it is so nakedly false, fake, and disrespectful that people who say this must just not be thinking their answer through at all! And again, it is very very tired and cliche.
No, a better answer is to name a legit flaw, but not one of your truly worst ones. Tell them you have a shy personality and it may take a little while for people to realize that you aren’t stuck up and really want to be friends (if this is true, if it is not tue it will be obvious).
Or say that you have a no experience (a pretty good answer if true because it isn’t really giving any information up) I’m not sure how this gets thrown back in your face, smiggs, if it’s true, then reality was being thrown in your face, no disrespect intended.
Tell them the truth and consider asking your interviewer what they mean to accomplish with that question. I want to know that the place I’m going to work takes its emplioyees seriously. That question indicates an unseriousness about interviewing. Almost like throwing artificial obstacles in the way of getting the right employee. Inviting dishonesty or stupid answers… it’s just not professional.
The interview may not define the company, but all else being equal, I would consider it a strike against considering a job offer.
you are all dumb in every way possible.
PEACE
I’m preparing to retake an interview for a master’s program. Last year they had the weakness question but I felt it was a very good question. Everyone focuses on people’s strengths but what about the weaknesses that everyone has, they don’t just go away. We can find ways to make them work and that’s what the interviewer wants.
In my situation they asked for my weakness and how I worked with it. We are all human. Some of us are better as some things and worse at others. So we can delegate somethings were bad at. Maybe you have trouble with public speaking then you spend more prep time, you write out all your notes in full before hand. It’s a weakness but it doesn’t mean you do a bad job, you just have to work harder. Companies want to see you doing your best for them.
superb reply
One question I’ve often been asked, and which cost me the job (I’m pretty sure, in retrospect) the first time I was asked it is: where do you see yourself in (say) 5 years? The incorrect answer is that you want to open up a business just like this one, up the street over there.
Funny!!
LOL, YEAH THAT COULD BE A LIL INTIMIDATING ! FUNNYYY!
Seriously?? U answer that?? LOL
Funny, I applied to an interior designing company and said the samething. Sometimes you don’t thing a good answer is acctually a bad one. Thank goodness for a wabsite like this.
I also like this questions.Tks for all.
It is not direct question so that candidate may give incorrect answer.
Biggest Flaw:
For a while I refused to answer this question and told them why. Now I have to answer honestly and say something like, “Hmmm. I’d have to say that I get a little to upset with slow drivers. Most of them are old and have been around a long time and their driving ability does not define who they are as a person or their contribution to society.”
“How soon will I be able to be productive?”
Gross.
One I got asked often was “Do you prefer to work solo or in a team?” I think this can be pretty tricky depending on the type of job.
“I’m actually comfortable working independently as well as being team player.”
I agree with Eric, although, the idea is to try to make it relevant to the company as well. My answer to this is: ‘I tend to get annoyed when things are going inefficient”, and then IMMEDIATELY jump to the traffic situation. Most people will be able to identify with the stuck in traffic concept, and if you specify that you feel that you can do MORE in that time, then it is usually a sure-fire winner.
In addition, the idea behind the worst-flaw type question is to see what you are doing to improve it. With regards to the traffic question, I usually reply that I try to relax by listening to classical radio stations or whatever. This shows that I am aware of my flaw, and am working towards fixing it.
NEVER mention more than one flaw!
I always say that I am too efficient. I worked at a place where I was asked to update law books every week on Friday first thing in the morning.
I take everything I am told to do very serious.
So I did update them accordingly. and my supervisor told me that she did say to update them every Friday first thing in the morning but that people do not really have time to read the old version before I put it away. She said that I was “too efficient’. Then, corrected herself by stating that there was no such thing. I was asked to wait a few days before I updated it.
Had 2 phone interviews with Google. Got rejected. Here’s the questions they asked me:
You have a cluster of web servers, each with several log files. Each line in each log file contains the time that it took to serve the request. You have 1 other machine to use to coordinate the work. How do you find the median response time efficiently?
The answer that the interviewer was looking for was this:
Have each server sort its own log files. Ask each server for its median response time. Combine the responses and come up with your best guess at the median for the cluster. Ask each server how many response times were less, and how many were more than your guess. Use their replies to refine your guess. Repeat.
You have a list of strings. How do you find the longest common prefix that occurs in at least 75% of the strings.
How do Vectors in Java work?
You have 2 unsorted arrays of integers. How can you efficiently determine their intersection?
TR Bobby: yeah I’ve come to accept it as written that most people who do the interviewing don’t really know what they are doing. I think most of them know it as well and are just as nervous or in fact since I’ve become a bit blase about the whole process are more nervous than me. Most of them are determined to put you through the mill though so come up with the most cliche questions possible and then expect you to ask them seriously.
Regarding the “What is your greatest weakness?” question,
There is an answer to this…
The principle is: Don’t mention a weakness without knowing the solution. Everyone has weaknesses. To recognise this and have a solution is what makes the difference. Most people are lazy and not willing to go the extra mile to find an answer. Excuses don’t get the job done.
Technical Person: “I am a technical person and I realise that my people skills may not be as strong as other people. In order to overcome this I have been reading people skills books because I know I need to improve.”. You better be telling the truth though.
Only above average candidates will be able to answer honestly.
Even if interviewers don’t know why they are asking the question they will recognise a gem or a fraud.
The only reason to hide the weakness is if you don’t have a solution.
Better figure out the truth and do something about it.
On #11, the salary question, I don’t think this is a loaded question. You should establish as early as possible the range you expect. You have to determine that you both are on the same page. If the company has a hard limit that’s $20k below your minimum then you are all wasting your time. Salary may be one of the few hard points dictated to the person hiring you, and negotiable only within the range they’ve had approved.
If you’re going into a stable company with low turnover, they may not hire enough people to know what to pay. http://www.salary.com is a good start.
Once you’ve established that they’ll put you in the tax bracket you want, then you can proceed with the rest of it and put off the exact amount until they’re getting ready to make an offer.
INTERVIEW TIPS
I would commend you for most of your answers except for these two:
11. What kind of salary do you need?
I think you should state the salary you want… and then some. This puts you on a higher plane in the mind of the hiring company. No matter how good you really are, no company will respect you if you work for peanuts. People (and companies) value what they pay most for.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?
Of course not!
I’m assuming your joking, funny stuff. Thats true about the peanuts, but only if your worth the pay. Someone just graduating from a four year college has to have a realistic view of acceptable salary ranges. Honestly I think I deserve to make $90,000 a year but if I tell the interiver that they will laugh in my face.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is
a distraction.
There can be only one response to this question:
“Are you interviewing other people for this job?”
Duh. You are looking for the right job, not any job that comes along. They are looking fro the right employee. You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. Do not let an interviewer forget that.
Good list of questions! This would be a great tool for someone to use in preparing for interviews with a friend.
A few other tips from my experience have been to always be positive in interviews. Negative comments say that you are an individual who is critical of others, and no one wants to work with an asshole. This will automatically put you in the second round interview pools if the rest of the interview goes smoothly. Why make it in two interviews, if you can make it in one by avoiding this pitfall.
Avoid the negative at all costs!
Do not try and be funny. Save the sarcasm and facetiousness for your firends. You are being interviewed by a stranger who might have a completely different set of values from your own, ie not getting the joke. Just don’t.
“What is your greatest weakness?”
I have never been asked this question. But I know this one is a test to see how tactful an interviewee is. A good reply would be “I’m sure I have short commings, but no one has ever enlightened me to them nor have they ever interfered with my productivity or work.” Not exactly these words, but you should get the sentiment. Do not make your reply to this question an introspection. This is an interviewer, not your shrink! A good thing to remember is interviewers are not your friend, they are merely doing their job by finding applicants to fill a vacant position. I think women have more problems with this question, as sexist as this sounds.
“Do you have any questions?”
This has been asked in every interview I have ever had, even if I was not applying for a job. Its a question that allows the interviewee an opportunity to answer potential questions some one might have, but also illustrates interest in a job, ie you are there for more than a quick dollar.
Failing to ask questions is a mistake because it shows a lack of sincere interest on the interviewees part on a job position. Ask about the job…
Do not be condescending, shaming, judgemental, critical, avoidant, short, frank, angry, or exhibit any sort of anti-social behavior.
Above all, be inquisitive, be positive, be friendly, be courteous, and walk into this interview like you are going to your first meeting with your new boss… You’ll have the spot landed in no time.
Cheers
John, I’m totally with you about staying positive and coming into the interview with a good attitude, but I would definitely disagree with your suggestion to avoid being funny. Certainly, acting clownish is a bad idea in general, but if you walk in with a good joke to break the ice, that could mean the difference between getting the cold shoulder and walking out of there on a first-name-basis with the interviewer.
I suppose, on the other hand, if the interviewee completely sucks at comedy or is a closeted bigot, then joking should be avoided at all costs. So knowing your abilities in this area is probably an important consideration. For the rest of us, it can only help the cause.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I plan to use your idea for a response on the (stupid) weakness question if asked tomorrow! “I’m sure I have short commings, but no one has ever enlightened me to them nor have they ever interfered with my productivity or work.”
Thank you!
Laura
I myself have fallen into the void where all joke tellers are cast during interviews. If you’re going to joke, make sure there is no chance for misinterpretation at all. Even if it seems that one would have to be drooling and wearing a bicycle helmet backwards not to pick up how obviously you are kidding, don’t try it if there’s a chance they won’t.
Interviewer: “And of course the drug policy is zero tolerance.”
Me: “Wait, zero tolerance? Haha…ha…..ha?”
Interviewer: “….”
That one was obviously a bad idea, but I was young and way to confident this fellow had a sense of humor.
23. Tell me about your dream job.
The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.
Could you mean “generic?”
11. What kind of salary do you need?
Say, Industry Standard!. Never disclose your salary. Say, your current CTC is confidential (Infact, it is, if u read the previous company policy).
And honestly telling the present CTC will give the intervier, a ground to FIX your next salary …
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?
I belive the only correct answer would be something like “I shall struggle to make them coincide”. Nobody is going to believe you if you start saying that any organization is more important for you than yourself, and saying the opposite might seem selfish to the interviewer.
Sorry for my bad english but it is not my mother tongue. I hope I have been able to get through to you.
that’s a good answer…and I understand you, because english is (almost) my second language
on the biggest weakness question I alway go with “I find I tend to lack Patience with stupid people, after showing them something more than 3 times I tend to get frustrated and let it show a bit”
This won’t work in a Sales position but for most anything else it works well.
Bill . that was seriously funny!!!!!
I would never hire someone hat responded in such a manner. That answer was lacking tack.
Interviews go both ways. My honest answer to question #9 recently was “I’m not sure whether I want to work here or not yet. The interview process isn’t just about whether you want me, but also about how interested I would be in working here.” Or something to that effect. Not only did it get a great reaction from the fellow who was interviewing me, but I think it helped segue into all of the questions I had to ask about the company.
And it worked. I am now quite happy in my new role at Essential Security Software.
🙂
I wouldn’t agree with this one. I once lost a job because I was equivocable about whether I wanted to work there. The interviewer said, “So, if you were offered the job, you would take it then?” I was so caught off guard by the directness and prematureness of the question, that I said, “I don’t know. I haven’t decided yet.” I felt I couldn’t say yes until I WAS offered a job and after we talked money and benfits, etc.
In hindsight, I should have said something like, “Everything sounds positive so far. I feel strongly that if we could come to terms with the conditions of employment, we could definitely move forward.”
Biggest Weakness:
Here’s what I say… it’s a total deke… that I refuse to or that I simply don’t think of myself in terms of weakness. That it’s not how I define myself. That for me, I just see opportunities to better myself… that as a person, I view myself as a constant work in progress always looking to improve myself both personally and professionally,
Then if I feel like, i’ll make up some example of a daunting task I took on (managing a project with unfamiliar people) and used that as a catalyst to force myself to further develop my leadership qualities and organizational skills…
That’s all just “for example”, but I have a pretty good batting average with job interviews == you’re hired!
’29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor… Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.’ — oh noes. I know if I were interviewing someone I would never believe it. Everyone has an argument with a supervisor sooner or later, for some reason, even if it’s just a friendly disagreement about the direction of a project or the right way to go about doing something. People ask this to find out about your internal dispute resolution skills, not just to see if you’re in the habit of fighting with the boss.
The way to turn this into a positive answer is to think of a situation where you could talk about it reasonably and reach a nice compromise (or at least peace).
What about reaching way back into your past? This seems to have worked for me, anyway. The situation I recalled for the interviewer was on my first job right out of grad school and was with our communication styles. Handled it by gutting it out. That way I didn’t have any ‘recent’ problems with ‘recent’ supervisors.
I think the question is looking for an acknowledgement that there are problems that arise, but that I can work through them amicably.
I was once asked: “If you were an animal, what animal would you be?” What’s the right answer?
I think Dog. 🙂 Dogs are really faithful to their owners, so will you be to your company. 🙂 They feed you with money (bones), you’ll stick with them. They don’t have money (you’re getting hungry), and you’ll look for a bone (maybe you’ll find it in a different house/company).
How about …. human being !!! … or carbon based biped
Any answer would be correct. This question is used to show how you deal with an unexpected situation and how you overcome it.
A dolphin, because they are the only other animals who have sex for pleasure
Nonsense, bonobos do as well 🙂
Unfortunately there are stupid question and the “animal” question was it. But I guess if you were asked that question then you can’t not answer it. The best thing is mention an animal that is strong and current (no dinosaurs or mythical creatures). Don’t mention animals that are beautiful, because you may come off as spacy and young. Be specific and mention one characteristic this animal has that you also poses. (Spelling errors may be present)
A question I always ask is: What was your biggest mistake at work and what did you do about it?
I have passed over people for having no answer to it; or for the slightest whiff of lie or omission on many of the questions you advise people to answer with a lie or to weasel out of. Not everyone in the private sector belongs in a Dilbert strip. Playing that game might get you hired but it will never make you–or anyone who works with you–happy.
What is your biggest weakness. A good manager will ask this to understand if you recognize things you need to improve (or do you think you’re perfect – a flaw in and of itself) AND more importantly what are the things that s/he can help you with from a career development standpoint.
>21. What irritates you about co-workers?
> This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with
> anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to
> get along with folks is great.
If I heard this answer from a candidate I would not hire them. It indicates to me that the candidate has no depth, judgment or ability to hire the kind of people they need on their team, or to reject inappropriate team members or employees. Some people *do* fail to follow appropriate cultural or company procedures, are vindictive, abusive, dangerous, or otherwise unsuitable for any legitimate organization.
Exactly! ‘Co-workers who don’t pull their weight and contribute to team projects; ones who flaunt company rules; ones who habitually come in late and leave early; ….’ That’s the kind of answer I’d be looking for.
#11 – The salary question
I’m in HR and do a lot of interviews and I think that the best answer is:
“I would expect to be paid competitively and commensurate with the level of skill, experience and responsibility that this particular job requires.”
This kind of a diplomatic answer did not work for me as I was asked to be specific about the amount of Salary. I don’t know what happened ?
Plus, job applications I’ve filled out recently want a salary history (starting & ending for each previous job) or a single number for past and current job. They’re going to know that you probably won’t take a pay cut if you’re currently employed.
This is the hardest question I face because it’s so two-edged: don’t want to price myself out of their (unpublished!) range, but also don’t want to sell myself cheap.
The best thing to do is just to be honest. I was asked the same thing and I said, “The salary that would fit me is one that I could live off of.” Depending on the city you live in, wether the job is part time or full, and the kind of job you applying for this answer is fair. You can’t work at a job that does not pay you enough to pay your rent (especially if its full-time). Calculate cost of living for a year and use that number as a base. And if the company is not willing to hire you, you may wabt to look for another job. Thats the truth.
Comfortable living In South Carolina (may be different for other state)
Rent: $800 per month
Utilities: $100 per month
Groceries: $300 per month
Gas: $200 per month
Loans/Credit Card: $200 per month
Other: $400 Per month
Total= $2,000 per month
Total= $24,000 per year (starting number)
After being rejected for one of the biggest job opportunities I had, the head of the review board called me and asked if I wanted to come in and discuss why I wasn’t hired (which was VERY cool of him to do!). He went over all the questions, my replies and how it effected their decision.
The biggest common flaw I had was that I wasn’t “upbeat” enough. I’d been out of college for over a year with no luck in my intended field. Most of my responces were centered around the fact that I have been down on my luck. I beat all the competing applicants hands down in my technical ability, but my personality came off as basically a loser.
Just remember to keep a 100% positive attitude during the entire interivew. Act excited to be there, about the job opportunity, about your skills, everything.
Good point! Along with an upbeat, positive attitude, courteous manners are always essential, too. I asked to meet with an interviewer after failing to get hired to find out what I could do to improve my interview skills. I was glad I did, although it was tough hearing the truth. Turns out that I interrupted members of the panel several times when I was excited about a topic they were talking about, in my haste to let them know that I agreed or was informed about the topic. Interrupting is a bad habit that may be tolerated among “equals”/peers, but remains a definite taboo when talking with “superiors,” especially during a formal interview process in which I was being questioned. I learned a valuable lesson: stay quiet and say nothing until it’s my turn to talk! Use formal manners and don’t try to be too familiar/chummy with the interviewer(s).
29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
WARNING: This is bad advice. The question is designed to demonstrate the interviewee’s skills in resolving a conflict. Claiming to never had a problem is an interview ender. There are always personality and judgment conflicts that can appear to be problems. You want people on your team to disagree with you if they have a good reason to disagree. How everyone works through disagreements and problems to work together reaching a common goal is key.
Another opinion from the hiring side:
I often ask about greatest strength and greatest weakness that the person has FOR THIS POSITION in an interview. And I preface my question about greatest weaknesses by noting that everbody has area that stand out in both directions, and *no* working too hard is not the kind of “weakness” that I am talking about. Nor will I accept a statement about their experience.
Often I get resistance on this question, but I press the issue. Everyone knows a significant weakness, they are just reluctant to bring it to light. But pressing this issue, I find that I can drive the interview to areas that really may affect their performance on this job.
If you wanted to game this line of questioning, you could identify a list of minor flaws. But generally I can tell you are just dodging rather than sincerely addressing the question.
I think the better answer was listed above. List real issues you have, but then explain your mitigation stratgy in a very positive way. The disdavantage of this approach is that you have alerted me to an issues that I will pay close attention to, when calling your references (which is my goal). But on the plus side, if I do sense this weakness in info that I find, I am already predisposed to accept your mitigation strategy.
In general I agree, that an overwhelming positive attitude is huge (even though I try to discount the fact that people are often intentionlly doing that in an interview)
Best of Luck.
Really good tips for job hunters
My two worst interview questions:
#1: Name a hero.
I got caught flatfooted on this one. Name a hero? Like, Captain America? Silly. So silly. I groped a bit and coughed up “Jon Stewart.” Pretty good, I thought. But the interviewer had never heard of him. Had never heard of the Daily Show. (!!) I had to spend the time explaining the Daily Show, explaining Jon Stewart, explaining the concept of “humor”… in all, eating up valuable interview minutes when they were limited and therefore precious. Booooo on that question. From now on I’m just sticking with Captain America.
#2: Describe yourself in one word.
Again, got caught flatfooted. How the hell do you describe yourself in one word. What one word is sufficient? I mean, my first name, sure. But besides that? Handsome. Beneficent. Well-hung, if hyphenated words count. But none of those are appropriate. I came up with “Authentic,” which is a nice way to say that “I haven’t told a lie this entire interview” and is therefore a great way to say nothing at all worthwhile. What a waste of a question.
I’ve been waiting to complain about that one for months. Thanks for listening.
“Do you have any questions for me?”
I always ask the interviewer “What brought you to company X and what keeps you motivated to stay part of the team instead of working for one of your competitors?”
This has always elicited positive responses from the interviewer about their history with the company (and people generally like to talk about themselves) and it is always perceived by the interviewer that I am loyal and looking for a long term relationship with my employer. The interviewer usually seems to open up to me more after this question. The key is sincerity in the question.
That’s a great response, Kib! I have an interview tomorrow and now I hope they say, “Do you have any questions for me?” I would then reply, “Yes I do… do YOU like working here? Why?”
That’s a great way to turn things around onto them in a completely appropriate way. And you’re exactly right, everyone likes talking about themselves, at least a little.
i have read a lot of coments but no one ws such usful as yours
hey, kib
thats really very gud point.. i am a fresher and after a few months my campus recruitment is goin to be held..
thanks for these tips….
Thanks Bhuvans , this is one great post and i am at a mistake , if i dont write a comment .
I have a few tips , which i think would rather help readers more ,
1. CONFIDENCE , is the Mother of all kinda thingy , you initially need in attending interviews . So i would say that , it is the most essential thingy needed , before , u attend the interview .
2. NEGATIVE CONFIDENCE , is the one , which i want ALL Freshers , to hold onto . This may seem negative , but it is the most POSITIVE THINGY from my side . Consider , the JOB is ” NOT FOR YOU “.
Consider , that something ( POLITICS may be ) has been commited , and u know that the job aint for u . Use this to build a confidence , that u have a BETTER JOB Waiting for u , and sincerly and completely believing it .
Then , the actual part comes , with facing the interview , with this confidence and see how it helps you out .
But one point is that , no “NEGATIVE feedbacks , or shouts or attitudes ” , should be accompanied with this method . Just the confidence , and a positive aurora , around this , and the JOB is 4 SURE .
Thank You all , and esp. Bhuvana , thats a nice post .

11. What kind of salary do you need?
Just say it depends on what (or even better, who, as in expertise) the position requires. If they press for a number say “depending on what I know so far of the reqs., up to $X” and know X before you go in. Make X more than you want but not by too much (5-10k perhaps because you may just get it and most people underestimate their worth). Don’t give a bottom number or that’s what they’ll give you.
Your starting salary is the most important part of your new job hunt since all of your raises will be based on this number. Unless you have a really good reason, never take less than your last salary and try to always improve your salary by more than the standard 3-5% raise.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?
If you need a way to show how unfair this question is, ask them if the company is willing to put your interests above its own . If they need an example, ask them if they’ve ever had a layoff. The only time this question is valid is if the job truly requires a career-only, no-family employee and pays/rewards accordingly. So your answer should be NO and try to remember that when you’re working there.
re: #11 good take on the question. One piece of advice I got in grad school was that if they offer to pay for your move or add a little to your base salary … take the higher base (for exactly the reason you bring up).
re: #37 What about answering with some sort of “Well, if the company ever veered away from its current principles so far that there was a conflict, I believe I’d have to stick up for my own interests and part ways.” That would show that we’re both on the same page now and I can’t imagine a conflict, but that either way I intend to remain true to high moral principles and standards. Not that I could ever imagine the company losing its bearings, of course!
I love #37:
Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.
This is such a Dilbert question. If I actually got asked this in an interview I’d know the job was probably not for me.
haha that is such a Dlibert question….so strange….hope i never get asked it!!
[…] Bhuvan just posted 50 common interview questions. […]
Speaking as an employer:
*be sincere and honest – it’s really obvious if you’re not
*answer the questions to the best of your ability, but bear in mind that the interviewer has a whole lot of them, so don’t launch into a five minute epic on your high school grades
*give examples – many interviewers are taught situational techniques to elicit a response from you that gives a concrete example of how you behaved in the past to give them an idea of how you might act in the future. If that is the type of answer the interviewer is fishing for, then you’ll help your cause a lot by talking about what you have done, not making stuff up about how you plan to behave after they hire you
*don’t be late – interviewers are confronted with a large number of equally talented people. If you got to the interview, your resume shows you have the skills. The interviewer will then be looking to reduce the number of people they have to consider to find the best candidate.
*ask your interviewer questions – tips 32 and 39 are great – asking questions shows that you are interested.
Greatest Weakness – I was always told to respond with a weakness that can be used as an advantage by your supervisor. So I used a real weakness – I get bored easily – and expanded on it by saying I like to keep learning. If you’re working in IT (as I do) its a good weakness to have. Employers usually want people who keep learning. So always think if it in those terms as well.
What is your greatest weakness?
My inability to show my true potential in job interview like this one.
Figz: Jaguar. Just sounds cool.
Extending 28 + 29: Treat any question about a negative (weakness, thing you didn’t like about your old job, problem with a supervisor) as an opportunity to be honest — because interviewers know when you are not — and to demonstrate your drive to improve and/or problem solve. Pattern: [describe weakness, problem, dislike], so I [describe action taken to cure the weakness, solve the problem, address the dislike]
Number one question to ask at the end of an interview, whether prompted or not: Do you have any concerns that would prevent you from recommending/selecting me for this job?
It’s brutally hard to get in the habit of asking, but it always pays off. It gives you an opportunity to directly address any concerns that the interviewer has. One concrete example. I did my own thing for a few years. When I went to interview at an enormous company, there was some concern that I would be a cowboy who wouldn’t work in a formal structure. I was able to refer the interviewers (a pair) to earlier experience working at a large law firm where there was a lot of structure, oversight, organizational hierarchy. Totally took the issue off the table.
Beyond that, I think “What do you like about working at the company?” is a great one. If the interviewer has stuck you with a lot of negative-type questions, turn it back on him, “What would you change about the company if you could?”
Another good one, especially if you are interviewing with someone who has or likely had your position: “What positions did you have before this one?” Since most people don’t work in lockstep through an organization, this can remind the interviewer that good candidates don’t necessarily have all the exact specs on the job description.
Sean,
Your tips are quite informative and relative. I will use this on my next and hopefully last interview.
Thank you.
Sean… I just attended an interview. I used your suggestion “Do you think I have any concern that prevents you….”
To be frank it worked very well… the interviewer got really impressed. Thanks dude… a salute… I think the job will be mine…
added a sentence: it will help me to overcome it in my next attempt if there are any…
He said: I like your learning attitude…
and he mentioned two points, for which I gave a reasonable comment…
When you are asked about salaries,I suggest that you ask what he or she would say in your position. That always works for me.
great great post …..
This article is great, and comments are even better. I totally stumbled into my current job after not really looking around much.
My position now includes hiring and I want to add a few points for consideration that I think have significance in this discussion.
1. What kind of work environment are you looking for? Try to be aware of when some of the questions asked speak negatively of the atmosphere of the company.
2. There has been debate about “correct” responses to questions. This is also colored by the type of company you’re interviewing with. If they are big, corporate, structured, the suggestions in the original article seem valid. If they are smaller, more open-minded, looking for creativity and innovation, you can be more free and honest with your answers. The interviewer should take you at face value and be impressed with your confidence and honesty.
3. Remember that you are interviewing with a person, not the company. That person’s personal style may or may not reflect the company at large. It pays to try to get a read on the interviewer and tailor your responses accordingly.
50 Most Common Interview Questions
Here is a massive list of the 50 most common inverview questions. I have been doing a lot of interviews at work lately and I think these would have been really helpful. It will also be helpful for when I eventually have to look for another job.
This article has been most helpful for me in preparing for my interview. I’m hoping that it will get me the job, if nothing else, I will be prepared when the questions are asked.
yes itis the most helpful thing for any interview. thank you
I can’t belive I “Stumbled” on this list the day before I have an interview. I’ve been out of work for several months now and this list will help me prepare for tomorrow. thank you so much
how do you answer the question ” why were you terminated from your last job ? “
Well, I suppose that depends, R, on why you actually were terminated. It’s only a difficult question if you were fired. Summer jobs, temp work, freelance, layoffs, company bankruptcy are all totally valid reasons that don’t speak ill of you in any way whatsoever.
But if it’s a touchy situation, remember: all the interviewer has is your side of the story now. Don’t be harsh or accusative toward your former employer, but make sure to paint yourself in a positive light. No matter what happened, you left on amicable terms, agreeing to disagree. You consider it to your benefit that you left and you hold no ill will toward your former employer, even if it was Satan himself. That’s your best bet.
I was laid off due to failure of science portion of national board exam. I am Graduate of 2006 with Associate in Applied Science (major in Funeral Service), however I am struggling to pass science portion of board. It is rather costly and to be honest I have limited resources at the moment so can’t put that top on priorities. Re-entering workforce is a MUST.
I have NOTHING negative to speak of former employer!! What shall my response be when asked “why was I terminated from previous place of employment?”
I commend each of you for your responses as they are extremely helpful to many folks. Thank YOU!
[…] Bhuvana collected the most common interview questions and listed recommended answers for each. I honestly haven’t heard some of them asked in my own interviews so I’m not sure how common they all are. Be sure to read the comments because there are some really good additions from several HR people and other experienced interviewers there. […]
[…] Strategies for answering 50 common interview questions. […]
I actually interviewed for a job today (3rd time around) with the V.P. Some of the above questions came up, the one that sticks out the most is the “What areas of improvement would your current supervisor say you need to work on?” I played it “safe” and thought about it for a few moments then claimed amnesia: “Nothing in particular was emphasized or otherwise brought to my attention during my last performance review.”
This, of course, is a lie. Everyone has an area where they can improve, either a little or a lot. I didn’t feel comfortable stating, “Well, I’m trying hard to not be as big of an asshole as I used to be,” but I also didn’t like playing amnesia. However, the answers, for the super-majority of the interview, were very neutral and helpful.
I tend to agree with some of the comments here regarding never having a conflict with a supervisor, or the ones about what irritates you about coworkers. When it comes to a supervisor, I would mention a conflict I once had about how to best approach a client issue. We disagreed on what was the best solution but we collaborated, listened to each other’s input and in the end we agreed to try both approaches. We agreed we’d try mine first and then we’d try his if that failed. In the end, it was obvious that both solutions would have worked out so I learned how to work out a difference without being confrontational.
About co-workers, things that irritate me: When they’re stealing from the company (lie about timesheets, services, stealing items), racial/sexual harassment/discrimination remarks or anything else that is against the law. I’ve used this before and I was given high points for such.
Not every answer fits every interview nor does every interviewer want to hear the same thing. However, the 50 questions in this blog entry do reflect the safest approach in MOST situations, not EVERY situation. So, yes, while John Q. Interviewer wants you to be neutral about certain items, the guy from Google might want you to tell him all about something in great detail.
How about this question, “Tell me about a time when you were asked to compromise your integrity in behalf of the corporate objectives.”
The CEO to the CFO, “The future success of this company depends upon YOU finding an accounting miracle.”

i had a strange job interview experience. I believe that i have done what is necessary but during the interview, they did not ask me any question but explaining the things to be done at work.I have treid to asked questions to stimulate them but still no effect.
I came 20 minutes before the scheduled time and the interview lasted less than 10 minutes.
I didn’t get the job and i do not understand why?
I would bet that they had already chosen someone else — maybe an internal candidate, maybe another interviewee — and they were just “going through the motions” with you so that they could pretend that they had conducted wide-ranging interviews to find the best candidate.
The problem wasn’t you. It was them
I have a fairly different take on this. If you turned up 20 minutes early it may very well have ended your chances then and there.
If you are early to any kind of meeting, especially a job interview then you put the interviewer in a situation where there are only two possible options:
1) Keep you waiting and be conscious of it.
2) Break from their current task to meet with you early..
Either way you start the interview off on the wrong foot and by the sounds of things it was the latter that happened to you and the interviewer may simply have felt put out and wanted to get rid of you.
Lesson: Punctuality is not about being early, it is about being on time.
@Deane Jessep about being early for an interview.
I don’t have much experience on interviewing but what i usually aim to do show up early but clarify to who ever I’m am checking in with that ” Hi i have an interview at blank time. I know I’m early but i just wanted to make sure i found the place on time.” there response should be simple where i reply where i remind them. just take your time…. or is there a waiting area…… or ill be in your waiting area…… or just chat with the person there about the facility if the person i check in with is not the person interviewing me in order to prevent them for prematurely contacting the interviewer
Anyone agree or disagree? It seems simple but i have though about it allot
[…] 50 COMMON INTERVIEW Q&A « Bhuvana Sundaramoorthy’s Blog (tags: interview career jobs questions) […]
Well I was asked in one interview
‘Give me 3 reasons why we shudnt hire you’
Can u write me those 3 reasons plzz…..?
How about this: “We’re interviewing a number of people. Why should we hire you?”
I told them “[brief pause] Because I’m the best?” And then went right on to give them a summary of my best points.
I got the job, too.
And I got that job 😀
“What is your biggest flaw as an employee?”
I ask that at interviews every time, and I don’t particularly care what the answer is, because the interviewee will either be too startled to answer effectively, or is going to lie to me. What I’m looking for is what the person does in response to the question. Yes, I can tell if you’re giving me a well-planned response, because you won’t be startled by the question and will answer too soon, and too assuredly. I can also tell if you’re going to lie to me, just by watching your eyes.
What I can’t tell is if you actually become introspective, think about something important, and then lie to me. So if you’re going to lie in response to this question, that’s what you need to do. Think about some pleasant experience for a few moments, then give your canned response, slowly, as if recalling the experience.
Any time I have a candidate who answers all of my questions without pausing to think or recall, I begin to wonder how much he has been interviewing and why nobody else has hired him.
Great! This is absolutely wonderful. Looking for another position at the moment and I have a face-to-face interview at Sophos, UK. Has anyone in the UK being to a interview at Sophos or works at Sophos? I’d love to read what they have to say about their interview with them.
Q: What is your greatest weakness?
A: Answering to question about my greatest weakness! 🙂
Got called back for my “second” interview next week for a job. I’m assuming that’s a good thing, but is it OK to ask the interviewer (will be same person as “first” round) how many other “final” candidates I’m up against? Is that appropriate? Is it OK to ask the person where I stand in the rankings, and how I can improve my chances? Or does that seem too desperate, even for a finalist?
“how many other “final†candidates I’m up against?” I would say OK… but “where I stand in the rankings, and how I can improve my chances?” as you say a little desperate…
I disagree! I don’t think you should ask how many candidates you are up against. You should display full confidence that the number of candidates you are competing with do not even exist to you because you know that YOU are the one for this position!
Same answer for your other concerns; and if they were interested enough in you to do a second interview than that alone should be confidence building enough.
I was told that the employer has basically hired you based upon your application/resume, the interview is the place were you have the ability to fire yourself.
What do you recommend saying if an interviewer asks a question about your field that you do not know the answer to?
I have my job interview tomorrow and I must say that I was a little worried and nervous at first but this site has really helped me. I feel much more confident now. Thanks!

Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.
—–
If you say yes, ‘they’ will immediately recognise that you are trying to trick them with your answers, and you’ll instantly loose credibility you built up with previous answers…
You are applying for the job for your own interest… not theirs. It’s not like you are applying for your favourite pass-time.
Arguably you are forced to put their interest above your own all the time, when your total hours amount to twice what you are being payed for.
You work to live… not the other way around. Be honest about that and explain that you have no problem of putting in the extra effort when the need arises. Explain as well, that if it becomes a habbit, you’d like it to be reflected in your sallary.

Great post!
In resposne to #61:
“What do you recommend saying if an interviewer asks a question about your field that you do not know the answer to?”
Be honest. Don’t lie. Don’t try to make things up. You can approach this two ways:
#1 – “That’s an area where I do not have experience.”
#2 – “I have not professionally trained in that area, but I have been trained/have extensive experience in area ‘x’ which is very similar.”
I used to B.S. when asked this if I had no experience, and I know I was transparent. Now I’m brutally honest with #1 being my preferred answer. Just look them straight in the eye and say, “I do not have experience in that area, but I am very motivated and a quick learner.” Give ’em the let down first with the BUT I AM WILLING TO LEARN part second so they remember that.
Great Post…
Sir wat r the basic points we need to remember when interviewer is asking “tell me about yourself” question..
that’s funny… i seem to remember commenting on this post, but i cant see my comment.
and, i wrote a post on my blog (lifepbs.wordpress.com) about some differing opinions i had about some of these answers… but i can’t see my trackback anywhere…

[…] 50 COMMON INTERVIEW Q&A « Bhuvana Sundaramoorthy’s Blog […]
Has anyone ever been asked the following on an application:
Are you a robot?
2 + 6 = ?
People who say they have no weaknesses have no real sense of themselves. I ask this question, and as long as they pick an answer and have addressed it (I will ask how they overcome it if they do not tell me), I will move on. I have had at least a dozen people tell me they had no weaknesses. (Thanks. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.) I have had a few tell me about serious flaws (rather than weaknesses), and several had not addressed their weaknesses in any way. These are weak candidates.
One trackback said the question is a sign of a weak interviewer, but I disagree. Not every question is looking for a philosophical answer or performance. I ask some questions because I know that some people who are not prepared or who have serious personality flaws will eliminate themselves. (Every workplace killer came in the door and applied for a job.)
I also use silence in interviews. Some people cannot stand silence. They will get nervous and add to canned answers, and the follow up words will give a better insight into their true personalities. One interviewee, after a silence, told me that sometimes you have to “tell callers how it is” – a sign that he would be brusque with people when he ran out of patience. The position was for an emergency dispatcher who would have been dealing with distraught people – people who need someone who has infinite patience. He went to work for someone else as a 9-1-1 operator and was fired this year for inappropriate behavior.
I am a retired highway patrol commander and have asked a lot of questions to people trying to hide the truth and their true intent. In HR I am not looking to interrogate a criminal (at least not on purpose), but the interview questions listed here all have their purpose and they can all in their way contribute to finding the best employees if used skillfully.
Oh, good thought: if I’m ever in a position to hire an interviewer, I should look for a retired highway patrolman! (just don’t ask me to be interviewed by one … did you take off your mirrored sunglasses?)
Silence, really? This is the type of interviewer who has his own agenda and not that of the organization. One with residual superiorority complex is not who you want to work for.
Interesting list! Just what i need for my interview later today. . .
Great site for interview tips – thankyou!

What is your major weakness?
Try this…
I like to keep busy and productive at work. I always feel really bad during slow times because I feel that I am not contributing. So, when those times do come up, and that does happen on occasion, I have learned to ask other collegues if they need assistance or to ask my supervisor if there is anything that they would like me to help them with.
This shows initiative and teamwork, something all employers want. 🙂
Oh this is a good post.Thank alot.

good job
Think you are on track with this post
Hi everyone — I’m going on an interview and my boss of course does not have a clue about this…but always at interviews and their forms they ask the question — can we contact ur previous employer…the first answer is of course (bc I dont have anything to hide and I know hes quite fond of me) but in the same respect if I dont get the job then my current supervisor will know and it wouldnt be a good situation.
How would you handle this? Any help is appreciated.
I would respond to this question saying that, of course they can contact your current employer once you have an agreement with them. Most employers understand that if a current employer is contacted before the employee has an opportunity to speak with them first that this may cause problems and possible termination.
just tell your boss to go to zacks house
or just tell him you dont want his job but you might have to take it anyway if you cant get this one
thanks rochelle!!!!
re: #11 – The salary question (see HR person’s comment posted below my comment)
This is a loaded question, some people will work for less based on a number of factors. It depends on the economy (unemployment rates, etc.) and also the industry you are in (for instance pharmaceutical companies tend to pay more than many other industries, given similiar job function and experience).
If you have the exact qualifications that a company is looking for and the hiring manager likes your personality – in many instances a company will make exceptions and pay a LOT more than they were originally willing to offer for the position. Don’t believe what a HR manager says (they are hired to find the best fit for a position for the LEAST amount they can get away with – I don’t care if they claim “they just want you to be happy”, it’s a load of crock- and the HR Director get’s paid based on their ability to save a company.

Tips for all (During the Interview..)
When you some one take your interview than during the interview, No take tension and don’t think that we are not eligable for this post. Sitting be cool and give answer with ful of confidence.
the question that i am always asked on intervies is “What is one that that you can use to describe yourself” I dread that question because I can never think of a word. any suggestions?
COGENT i suppose will do.
Passionate. If you have to sum yourself up in one word, you can’t go wrong with passionate.
Be careful, I think a lot of the people writing these comments don’t know squat about interviews – some of them seem to be making up witty come-backs. For example, don’t ignore weaknesses – not being able to analyse your weaknesses is a weakness – remember, they are particular to you, your weak spot may be better than anyone elses good point – but you need to demonstrate being self critical.
The main post was very good though, so thanks for that.

While browsing the web, I came across 50 interview questions; some of them are guaranteed to show up in just about every interview you’ll ever have. I know – I’ve gotten the “why did you leave your last job”…

I really appreciate the answers that were given on this site because sometime employers like to put you on the spot I know that they are just doing there jobs but it can be nerve racking at times if you are not prepared.
I struggle with the what’s your leadership style or what kind of leader are you?
I answer, that I’m honest and fair with my employees. accessible and approachable with an open door policy and I don’t hesitate to jump in and get my hands dirty when necessary (I’m a multi-unit retail manager). I lead by example in other words. I’m wondering if that answer seems cliche?
I currently employed, but testing the waters.

[…] It’s never possible to be too prepared for an interview. One of the best ways of preparing is to read and consider as many interview questions as possible. That way, you will not be surprised if any particular interview question is asked. You can find 50 interview questions here.

Hi,
The only thing I can think to mention is to always remember that there will be other people interviewing for the same position that you are…..You don’t want to blow it by being a smart ass. It will get you nowhere fast!!!!!
Weakness: How about telling your interviewer that sometimes you let your co-workers take advantage of you. For example, if someone gives you something to do, which they were supposed to do and you do it happily.
I havent tried it but would like to hear your comments on this.
During the interview, keep this mindset, “You know you are best person for this job. You are fully confident about yourself and your abilities. All you got to do is convey this message to your interviewer”
As soon as you adopt this mindset, natural, positive and great answers will follow automatically.
Good luck.

AS A INTERIOR DESIGNER,HAVING MY OWN BUSINESS WITH 3/4 NO.S OF STAFF
I once got asked “What sort of person are you”. I thought what a pathetic question so I told them “I was a good bloke”. Needless to say I didn’t get the job but I did get satisfaction in knowing that I thrown the interview on purpose. I just couldn’t work for someone who considered a question like that to be anything other than insulting.
I was told to bring something I was proud of and then explain why.
I brought a newspaper that i did the graphics for and then gave the ‘show and tell’
got the job 🙂
Good list of questions and points. Thanks I enjoyed.
Iam attending interview in big company tomorrow can u please help me on what type of questions they will ask.
Hi there! I’m wondering how to handle this question if it comes up in my interview.
I see that you did not include a reference from your previous employer, may we contact him?
I’m not sure how to address this because even though technically I left work to go back to school, the real reason I left though is because my boss was conducting himself in an unprofessional manner towards the women in our workplace and I called him on it, since then we have not been able to get along and I don’t trust him now to give me any sort of good reference.
How do I answer this?
To 101: Now that’s just funny.
To everyone who’s posting specific questions and hoping for answers: Consider that the HR process is designed to hire YOU. If you get hired based off of someone else’s answers because you do not have the eloquence or originality, that may come back and bite you in the butt when your personality and answers don’t match. I don’t know about hiring processes internationally (or even in any state in the USA besides Florida), but employers here usually hire you on a 90-day “trial” basis where you can be dismissed for any reason during the trial period. Be careful lest you find yourself washed out of the company because your clever answers found on the internet do not match your actual work philosophy.
I do agree here. Read the answers, relate the answers to your past experience and prepare a STAR- which is situation in your work or life experience related to work, the task, what action you took and what was the result. If each of the interview questions are prepared in the STAR mould, it makes it easy for the interviewer to assess and interviewee to explain, and try to be as close to reality as possible or else copying bites.
There are too many interview questions on, weakness- I feel the purpose behind is that everyone has a weakness, so let them know of your weakness, but think of turning is around to your or company,s advantage. For example this was a new company and there was no one to help or rather it has an unstructured departmental set up and I could never get anyone to assist me. True, but this company taught me to be self managed and I shared this practise with everyone.

I think that if you are HONEST, do your Homework about yourself and the company then all may well go well, BUT remember just because you didn’t get the job it doesn’t mean YOU are unwanted or less than you were before the job interview, just a little wiser perhaps IF…you learn from you mistakes; i.e. review the job interview experience

back to the weakness thing:
an answer i used was :
“i can sometimes get frustrated if i am working hard and others around me do not seem to be”
what are your expectations from an employer?
How do you feel about upgrading/ learning new skills (for eight weeks)?
Here’s a question I havent heard in years.
(Q)What kind of animal would you be and why?
(A) I answer this one with “a Rino” A Rino is the baddest creature in the jungle always charging, nothing stops him from geting what he wants. Did you know a rino is the Fireman of the jungle? He will stomp out every fire he see’s?
Good evening I am sending you this interview guideline to help you in your jod search.
Wish you success
Are you able to work on several assignments at once?
can anyone send me best answer
People have to understand that interviewers have heard pretty much every possible answer to their questions. Your best bet is to be honest, because honest answers always come out sounding better than the answers they want to hear. Another key thing is that you have to be up beat in an interview, be excited that you there and always keep a positive attitude. Don’t answer every question right of the bat because even if you’re not lying, it will come out sounding fake. Body language also depicts a lot in an interview. If you answer a question and use your hands, a slight shift of your body and tone of voice as if you’re answering with passion, the interviewer will concentrate less on your answer but rather more on your form and tone of response. You will come off that you are truly excited to be there and that you want to engage the interviewer in your answer so they could feel what you are feeling. Key is not to sound like everyone else, be distinct: be honest.
For all recruiters out there, keep in mind that the most effective interviews are the ones where the interviewer try’s to build a rapport with the interviewee and asks basic life questions as opposed to the standard questions because they know they are not prepared for that type of interview so they like to see how you react and answer the questions. It’s a good way to lead into an interview and then ask some of the more formal questions.
And remember 8 out of 10 interviews result with the interviewer asking you if you have any questions for them, and you better, and they better be good ones because that will make the interviewer think (you are interviewing them) about how to answer the question(s) thus it will reflect positively on you. Always go out of your way to look presentable even when not required and prepare a couple of days in advance, you will be surprised what a difference it will make.
One last thing, the question that will almost always arise in an interview is “Why do you want to work at (company)?†Make sure you give a good answer because that question is the pivotal question of why you are there in the first place and it is usually asked at the beginning of the interview so if you blow that one, the rest of the answers to the coming questions won’t really matter.

“Can You Describe Your Weaknesses? “ This is not designed to be a personal question at all. They are simply looking to see how well you’ll express yourself, as most people tend to look inside & it throws them off completely. Simple answer: “Well I used to have a problem saying NO to people, today I prioritize my day completely and in so doing I let my time management skills decide what I can truly say Yes & No to” .. now you have an answer that is in fact very personal & yet perfectly job related & in your answer you identified another attribute you have, Time Management Skills .. or at least you understand the term well enough to explain it. If you answer sounds sincere and genuine, you’ll score 10 out of 10 in any interview.
I hired and mentored people for 30 years & today teach college students young and old what to expect in the Job Search process (cover letters, resumes etc). Your qualifications & experience get you the interview & that’s all! Your interview skills will land you the job every time. HR is far more about EQ in 2007 than IQ … lots of high IQ’s out there that can’t express themselves at all .. totally internalized & deadly in an interview .. more EQ wins the day !! Best Wishes To All
As far as being REAL in an interview goes. I have talked to a great many employers & believe me, they are tired of the template cover letter approach. Stir it up, be real .. it’ll be your edge. Take that Real person & that edge to an interview .. they may only see you for 20 minutes .. gotta make an impression that lasts. Tell them what motivated in your career path, that’s a thinking person talking, not another template … it’s all about communicating these days & not looking or sounding like everyone else … be yourself .. not who you think they want to see, when they see the genuine deal .. it scores very well too.
Your advice has totally consumed me and broadened my perspectives. I was originally from a small town where you interviewed with the “owner” rather than “hr” and now I am in what i call the “city”. I appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Nice blog! Great design and cool topics.
Why is “EQ” so important when cognitive ability (IQ) is correlated so strongly with actual job performance? It seems completely unscientific and rather stupid. And what’s to happen to us poor folks with super high IQs but of course, lack the EQ because we are inward looking? Is this fair?

i have a job interview tom with a company doing graphic designs. They do commercials and some other visual effects that you see on tv. Does anybody have suggestion on how i can win the job? what type of questions (and answers) should i expect from the interviewer? pls…Thanks!
Thank you for this website! It was extremely useful.
I went for an interview last week for a teaching job. I didn’t get it and i’m sure its partly to my response to this question:
Tell us about a failure you’ve had in the past outside of teaching?
What kind of response are they expecting from this question?
The real point of these kinds of questions is to hear how you dealt with the “failure” or “weakness” or “conflict” or whatever it is. How did you overcome it? Did you ignore it? Did it destroy you or make you stronger? AND, did you learn anything from that experience that’s going to make you a better employee here with us? They don’t so much care what the “failure” was.
The information contained in this page is brilliant. I had a interview today and stumbled across it yesterday and almost every question they asked was in here so it helped a great deal and the interview went smoothly as i was more than prepared for these questions.
Thankyou so much.

I was once asked if my room was organized. And I lied and said of coarse. But there are studies that prove that people who have messy desks/workspaces are more productive than people with clean and organized desks/workspaces. How do we respond to a question like that? It could go either way.

Better to have answers with example so that freshers can implement it directly without hesitating on what to say and what dont.
Hi,
I work in IT and have interviewed many people. Apart from technical knowledge which is easy enough to measure what i always looked for was some one I could work with on a day to day basis. Somebody who appears confrontational or arrogant is doomed from the start. Be yourself, use common sense, and most importantly try and enjoy the experience. Life is too short to be stressing about things which are really out of our control.
I myself have an interview in the next few days which is a second round HR type deal. I believe embracing the idea of failure as a learning experience takes away much of the anxiety and allows for much more natural expression, which I guarantee an interviewer will pick up on and give you an edge over other applicants.
I love your reply “ger” about the natural expression thing. I have been to interviews where I didn’t feel anxiety about performing/answering a certain way just to get the job. Those are the ones I did the best on. It is heard in sports all the time that when you enjoy what you are doing, you perform better.
When you feel trapped and desperate enough so that you think you have to take the first job you are offered, your interview posture, verbal expression and aura will reflect that and the interviewer will easily pick up on it. Mental preparation is critical.
While you’re responses shouldn’t be or sound “rehearsed,” you should write down potential responses and practice them dozens of times until they are ingrained in you to the point that they are part of you, and you don’t have to respond like you are thinking up the answer word-by-word as you are saying it, and if were you asked, your response would come out coherently as possible.
THREE main ideas come to mind on what to do before the interview, during the interview, and after the interview.
FIRST, thoroughly research the place of business. One strategy I was taught in a career search workshop was to stop outside as employees left, tell them you are doing research on the company, and ask things such as “What do you like most about working here?” or “What kind of training, skills, or certification did you need to work here?” or Knowledge gives the interviewee confidence and prevents canned responses. And you may find out before you consent to an interview that you wouldn’t be a good fit for that place of business.
SECOND, being positive means having a cheerful demeanor throughout. You can not be genuinely cheerful if you are making stuff up by saying what you think the right answer will be and emitting a superficial positive mental attitude or looking through rose-colored glasses. While maintaining professionalism, allow yourself to be human. The interviewer is human too.
THIRD, always do or say something after the interview to invite the interviewer to consider you again. For example, shake hands, thank the interviewer for his or her time followed by, “May I call you?”
I hope these tips help.
P.S. The advice from a teacher of my career workshop that helped me address my biggest interview weakness was, “You talk yourself out of jobs,””You can talk yourself out of a job,” and “Don’t talk yourself out of a job.”
What he was getting at was this: Keep your answer long enough to give a specific example that shows concrete results but don’t over-elaborate and give extra information that will bore the interviewer or muddle his or her mind about the point of you being there.
P.P.S. There are certain questions that have simple one-word or few-word pat answers that should always be the same. Examples include:
Q: Do you have reliable transportation? A: Yes
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? A: With this company/business/organization
P.P.P.S. One job I was offered and accepted. Later, out of curiosity, I asked one of the interviewees why they hired me. She said, “You were confident and we liked you. After you, we stopped interviewing. My point is that (and I could be mistaken because the only time I’ve ever formally interviewed someone was as a judge at a 5th and 6th grade science fair) as a general rule, organizations/interviewers want to hire someone they like and someone that is friendly.

great
hello i m sales guy.
i m confused in what to tell in weakness polz guide me
bless all of u who posted….got questions here, i’ll appreciate any respose .
what’s the best answer to the question what do you think is your edge among all other candidates?
I think i am up against those who have all the advantages to get the job and interviewers expect better than answering ” I’m a goal oriented person, flexible, honest, etc etc.Every applicant claims they have these qualities.
and how do you deal with interviewers who keep on rephrasing his questions when you find it difficult to reconstruct your answer on the spot .It’ll sound awkward if u just keep on saying the same thing…any help pls..
what are good answers for what tasks do you like the most and the least?
Basically every job has a little of everything in it. I’m having trouble with the least liked.
thanks
would it be really bad to say i procrastinate as a weakness?
and perhaps follow it up by saying and thats why i started to follow a schedule?
i was asked this question-> do u feel if u dont get this job?… well my ans was no as the previous question was regarding the positive attitude. so lost the interview…i regret tat every time i think of it… my answer should be yes…i felt like i was a fool to say that…anyways i cant do anything now… hope to learn something which will help me for futher interviews
what r some good examples when they say tell me about yourself?? and examples of your strenghts?
how do you handle irate customers?
I keep on getting this question “How do you handle change”, any comments on what to say.
This is a good question to find out if you are adaptable. Companies make changes to match up with competition and be the best, and it gives an employee an opportunity to learn new things, change is good for both the growing company as well as employees and I am adaptable
You should describe a time when you helped make a change at your employer (rolled out a new product, revised a procedure, simplified a process). If you are a tech person, you might say something like “I’m an early adapter–I like to try out new things and am great at showing others how change can benefit them/the company”.
Change in companies comes at a really fast pace these days. Employers are looking for people who can embrace and lead improving change. They are not looking for Luddites.
But, you should also follow up with your own question at the appropriate time with, “You asked me about how I deal with change. Is the company anticipating making changes {in area you are interviewing for}?”
In regards to “How do you handle change”? You have to be able to handle change. If not, how can you move forward? I work in IT and technology is constantly changing. My very last interview I was asked this question. I got the job.
In regards to “How do you handle irate customers”? This is what I said at my last interview.—If a customer calls me yelling and screaming let them vent. Most of the time they just want someone to listen to them. Be empathetic. Understand how they feel. Let the customer know you are there to help them. When you show understanding to the customer/client they usually calm down. Find out exactly what the problem is, gather all pertinent information and resolve the problem.
Your greatest weakness is supposed to be the mirror image of your greatest strength. For example, if you are results oriented and extremely assertive then your greatest weakness could be tailoring your assertiveness carefully so it doesn’t get misunderstood as aggression by those of us that are thinner skinned. This is why these questions are generally asked back to back. Strength and Weakness if answered honestly should be a reflection of each other. To know your weaknesses and improve on them constantly is to show that you are seeking continuos improvement of yourself both personally and professionally.
thank you for the questions
its a simple words…but difficult to answer..
waht is your strength and weaknesses? help..
Does anyone have help with this one? In my last interview I was asked, “If you had a project that you needed to complete, and you didn’t have all the information you needed, how would you handle it?”
I answered that I find asking questions is the best way to get the answers I need to complete something.
I wasn’t called back for a 2nd interview, but I realize now after reading this site that I made quite a few mistakes in my interview (I only had 2 hours to prepare, they called me at 8:30 a.m. for a 10:30 interview! I should have stalled them, I guess). I have another interview tomorrow and would like to have a good response to this question, in case they ask me!!
Thanks.
Try converting this question into STAR by moulding a past project into a situation, what was the task. what was the missing information and how you volunteered to get that information, for example contacted some SME’s or user departments and what results you got
Michelle,
I would suggest stating that you would compile all inforamation you currently had, then reach out to those that you feel would have additional information and/or resources to be able to complete the task. Also, asking for additional information from the project leader is always acceptable as well.
These are some great answers to possible interview questions…. My problem is that I have not been honest at all in interviews. I have an interview tomorrow in which I am going to be totally honest about myself and strengths and weaknesses. I am not going to fabricate answers but use totally honest responses with no extra crap that they dont care about.
I think after reading a few responses that this will be very helpful for me and will make it feel so much more casual.
A bit off subject– I interviewed for and was offered a position- contingent upon a meeting the company had with an outside entity. When I was offered the job, the HR person said it was “unanimus” , all five people at three different interviews, chose me as their top canidate. After the meeting, the offer was recinded. I was told they needed to do some rethinking, and “would be talking to me”. The next thing I know, the position is being advertised again, and no one has returned my call. Any suggestions? I am confident I am the right canidate for this position. Is there a different blog for this type of question?
I have been interviewing candidates for a job the past few weeks. The biggest purpose of the interview for me is to get a better sense of who each person is, and what their personality is like.
While you should put your best foot forward, I think the best approach is to be honest about who you are. A lot of these questions don’t have right answers, (although I suppose there are some really “wrong” answers).
A lot of these questions are different versions of “tell me about yourself”. I read your resume, I know your last five jobs, so if I ask what are your strengths and weaknesses, I’m thinking about the role the job needs and how that will fit, but I’m also just trying to get a sense of who you are as a person, and if you will fit in. As long as you don’t say your weakness is drinking on the job or something, I think it is ok. Refusing to respond seems a little wierd and defensive to me.
I am trying to create a team, so it takes a balance of different personalities to make it work. If you fake it and still manage to get the job, I promise neither of us will be happy, and you will have to explain to yoru next employer why you got fired after 6 months.
If you don’t get hired or called back, I don’t think there is anything wrong with sending a follow up email asking what the status is, and if there is any feedback. I know that often a certain job can be different things, depending on who is hired, and interviewing process helps the hirers narrow down what they want. (e.g. one candidate might be more analytical, and another more creative- both could do the job, but we need to decide which would be a better fit, and they both bring different strengths to the table.)
Anyway, those are some thoughts. Good luck to all of you.

Great source of information!!!!
How do you answer the question. What would you change about your past?
I hate the dreaded phone interview-when you’ve applied for lots of positions and someone calls you back and goes right into interview mode. Somehow I never get called for a face -o-face interview after a phone interview.
i’m glad i stumbled on this one. the discussion here really informs me a lot. im a fresh graduate and im having an interview day after tomorrow. hope your points of view works. and thanks! haha..
i had a failing grade in college and the interviewer dig me into it asking why ive failed the subject? i was overwhelmed that i decided to be honest answering the question. i told them the truth that i and my professor did’nt get along very well. i wasn’t hired and i thought it was because of that response that i was rejected. can anybody suggest what i should have done or say instead?
you should have mentioned about the exam being touch instead, or that due to many other subjects you were sitting for at that particular time, you had little time for this subject and hence you faild
I was asked about the different between efficiency and effectiveness and I found this to be also one and the same think. what was I supposed to answer. please help.
i was asked by this question during an interview, “how would you describe the color blue to a blind person?”. My answer was that i sang a beautiful song to him and that song meant the color blue. Could he hear the sweetness of the color? I didn’t know what was the most appropriate answer. I was rejected during the technical though.
that is cool question, man. You were right, but it is not the whole truth. before you song him, it takes to smoke…
(sorry, joke)
Would it be appropriate to negotiate your salary based on the hiring manager’s comments of ‘expect regular over time to get the job done’? i would a salaried employee and expected overtime is not part of my pay. I don’t mind the overtime but I would like to be compensated equitably if overtime is expected. Would that be a good negotitation method? Thanks!
hi! i need help. How do you answer this question: What is your expected salary?
okayy well , i have my first job interview tommorow ever. Im 15 years old and alot of these questions are going to be hard to answer because , first of all i havent worked before i have experience with babysitting , my mom’s bridal shop , and extracurricular activities … im basically looking for job expierience and dont expect a big pay . Too the person who was wondering what it meant when someone askes what animal you see yourself as , it is too tell them what kind of person you are , in my career studys class we learned about this … If you say a lion , you are Loyal&independant , if you say something like a mamouth you are more lazy and laidback and not what there looking for .
what is a good example of showing initiative to solve problem??
Jenna
244. Tina: Your 15, don’t worry about an animal question, if that comes up you simply respond I don’t know, I am not familiar enough with animals to answer. I know that I am eager to prove myself in the position I am applying for & will do my best not to disapoint you as an employer. I am older but have been in your position when applying for the first time for employment. I could not understand the intimidating questions as they were trying to stump or scare me? The person that they hired that was not scared was most likely not a good employee but a over confident slacker. The applicant that is concerned will most likely be the better hire. Relax & keep trying you will prevail.
A tip to all. If you have an interviwer ask ridiculous questions, the job is not for you. It will be a ridiculous & politically motivated position. If you are willing & able to answer you may be the right one for the position if not believe me when I tell you it’s not what you wanted. Interviews should not be phony & intimidating just a form of getting to know somone at a first impression & learning the skills they possess. The other stuff is fluff & a sign of a bad job & a worst employer.
I have one word, ENERGY! Show excitement and energy during your interview and dont make an ass of yourself and you are on the right path to getting the job.
What type of questions are safe to ask the interviewer, and how many should generally be asked?
hr interiew questions
very good questions but not what im looking for Lol!!!!!!
the tips r good but ineed a professional answers for all .any way think of subject and make apersonal research and let the blog to be a reference space for the people
In response to †why were you terminated from your last job ? “, try giving the stated reason (they will get it from HR) followed by “I was stunned and so were my coworkers.” Then you can lead into your good work at that organization, your cooperation with colleagues, and suggestions on which coworkers to contact to get a better insight of how you really were on the job.
Hi I have a friend who is switching fro Telecom to Software.He has only handled Software projects from a PMO level .
He is shit scared that the interviewers might ask him question related to technology as he is not technically qualified , but he is good in concepts and can sell himself well.
Please advise what he can do
i have no prepare to give the answer obout my hoobies.please help me about that.

good postings, and really intresting what suggestions people are giving. got an interview tommorrow and its been fun reading this blog.
Very good post… tomorrow i have tomorrow my job interview, so i hope this tips help me.
i will get you posted
Really a great post..But I need answer for ” where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
SAMY: “where do you see yourself in 5 years” always want to be advancing within the industry/company.
…”I see myself in your shoes” to a sup.
… “I want to advance through the company…”
How do you answer the question what can you contribute to this comapany? I always have problems with that question.
great blog …In answer to “why were you terminated from your last job?” it is important to know the why yourself first,if you don’t know simply find out!(ring and get reasons or pretend to be employer and find out how they will answer) If you are responding to this question better to reflect what the reference is likey to say.
also regarding the question on “biggest weakness” an answer like… ” I sometimes delay why own work to assist the needs of my colleagues if they need help (elaborate) this shows you care, are a team player and flexible
“biggest weakness”
I’ve always found that showcasing your greatest strength and double wammi to your greatest weakness.
————
My biggest weakness would probally be multi-tasking because when i’m not busy, I tend to loose focus and day dream.
My greatest strength is my ability to do many tasks at once and being able to stay focus and complete the jobs in front of me.
———–
Was at an interview yesterday and asked ..” What are your salary expectations from this job?” I replied “that I would expect the salary would reflect the responsibility,but that I not only motivated by money alone and that the challenges,new experience count for important motivators as well” Let you know the outcome in due course
Whats the best way to answer the following the question?
What do you do if the project you are managing is not going to meet the deadline?
When I go on interviews I get nervous and have a tendency not to talk very much. Does any one have any suggestions to help me?
In answer to kev, I think a good answer to your question would be:
“Advise all stakeholders involved with the deadline as soon as you realise you may not meet the deadline, but also make them aware that you and your team are doing everything they possibly can to meet the deadline.”
I have worked in the dental field for over 25 years, as front desk, assistant, and collections manager. After a horrific car accident last year (I was rear ended at a light), I lost my position of 15 years because my recovery took too long. So what do I say regarding why I was fired. I was heartbroken when I was told I no longer had a job but will a future employer see my long recovery as a weakness or someone that now has health issues? I am very torn as to what type of answer I should say to this question. Please help.
This blog was awesome.I learned more from this blog.
@groom, @james
Seeking post-interview feedback is as productive as “playing handball against the drapes.” You get nothing useful in return.
Here are several reasons why it’s useless:
1. Some people are very nice and don’t want to hurt your feelings. Or they follow corporate policies, stay quiet and protect themselves.
2. Some people are very nasty with big ego trips. They love seeing candidates squirm after fraternity hazings, especially if they went through one to get hired.
3. So few ever get any formal training in interviewing and evaluating people. This is especially true in fields like engineering where the best programmer becomes software development manager.
4. The very performance that turns one person off turns the next one on. Someone says you’re cocky and another says you’re confident.
5. Someone was threatened by you. Instead of volunteering that, they’ll criticize you and maybe even invent a fault you don’t have.
6. They already have something you don’t, a job at BigNameCo. Therefore, what is in it for them to criticize your performance?
And here’s one other thing people rarely consider — is the feedback valid? Just because they are authorities, does it mean they’re right? Your self-esteem can be needlessly battered in a time you need it most like job search.
And here’s the biggest one of all — hiring is extremely subjective! If they really want you, they’ll let any flaw slip by. If you didn’t know multithreading, for instance, they could say, “Multithreading is no biggie, he’ll pick it up like we did.” If they don’t, someone on the hiring committee will make a federal case out of it, e.g., “He writes code and he doesn’t know multithreading? What a loser!”
When I missed out on a few offers, especially from big-name companies, I used to ask how I did, where to improve, etc. As I collected responses, it was so inconsistent. Some even said they rated me highly, and couldn’t hire me due to politics. So I don’t waste my time any more. Instead, I pursue and work for employers who have their act together.
awesome blog,thanks for the list!,
btw what the best answer if you got this question?
“what do you hope to achieve from the job that we are offering?”
and fyi, the job is for the network engineer.
thanks
thanks
Oh my god…im freaking out…I’m applying as a TV researcher…and this article really helped..
and i was just about to say
My biggest weakness is that I’m a total and absolute perfectionist..
so cliche…
but now i know I wont 🙂
42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?
That can be another way of asking, “aren’t you too old?”
and not get in trouble.
If you answer politely, you might say, “To have someone with expertise, you need someone with 20 years of experience.”
Of course, you could deflect to question by saying you realize there’s trade-offs to accepting this job, low pay, less responsiblity, get to live in the country….
“Do you have any questions” (from the potential employer) I answered – “Do you have any doubt in my ability to do this Job/perform the role”?. A good one as this gets you feedback that you can respond to. On recently getting promotion at work, it was this question that clinched it for me, although bordering arrogant, it displays confidence and is an open-ended question. Both of my interviewers said that this had stuck in their mind and made my interview a memorable one as none of the other candidates had been as direct, if you are one of many candidates for the role, you need to be as memorable as possible.
Thanx for the post.
This will be helpful for me. I have an interview on Monday and I’ll make sure to read this blog as well as the comments of other people here.
Hope to get the Job.
some of the questions I was asked at a recent interview, may help preparation;
1. give us an example of a difficult decision or task you had to deal with?
2. what are your salary expectations?
3. What do you consider to be the challenges in this new position?
4. what strengths do you bring to this company?
5. What would you consider to be your weaknesses/failings?
(only a sample and not in any specific order)
nice answers
Thanks a lot for this post…
Although im placed in 2-3 companies but this will surely help me:)
vib
hi this an amzing site thanks
Here is the response I gave to Burger King when they asked me to list five words that ‘best’ describe me:
1. Literate
2. Competent
3. Sober
4. Ambitious
5. Desperate
I got the job!!!
Thankyou for this blog – not just the questions at the start, but mostly the comments over the last six months from people who have given some wonderful advice.
Don’t forget, as well as thinking about the questions they will be asking you, to have a few suitable questions to turn back on the interviewer at the end, during the “that about wraps it up, do you have anything you’d like to ask me” section.
Many people are so pleased to have the interview over with that they will be only too pleased to shake their heads, get up and leave the room. But an interviewer can see a lot more if you ask some intelligent questions back, and it shows that you are interested about the position, and enthusiastic to learn more about the role.
Think of some good questions to ask back – ask about the training opportunities that they will give you, ask about the most and least enjoyable aspects of the position, ask what happened to the person whose job you will be taking – was he/she promoted, did he/she leave? Be positive but curious about the company, ask questions relating to the product or work that you will be doing. Show that you have a genuine interest in the role you are applying for.
Good luck to everyone!
11. What kind of salary do you need?
I had a friend who recently did not answer this question on his phone interview, he gave one of those “it depends on the requirements” answers. When he did the face to face interview he was told the max salary was $20k less then what he was looking for! I advise at least giving a range so you dont waste you time.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
If I was asked this I would say “It depends on the situation. If the company asked me to do something illegal or unethical b/c it was in their best interest then NO. However, if I needed to stay late to finish a project when I’d rather be home eating dinner then YES”
This is the most appropriate answer amongst all!
Thanks 😀
I had a phone interview the other day and one question that came up was, “Do you consider yourself a competitive person at work?” Then I had to give an example. This was the question I had the hardest time answering.
this helped me a lot to prepare for my interview

Worst quality:
I would say my worst quality is sometimes I bite off more than I can chew. I love being involved in things, but sometimes I overwhelm myself.
OR….I get bored easily if my job is static. I like to keep learning and I like having constant opportunities and challenges…it makes things interesting.
this site was great. I’m having my interview in 30 min. thank you.

your greatest weakness
your weaknesses should be your strengths and your strengths should be your weaknesses.
ie competitiveness sometimes it is good to be competitive but other times it can get in the way.
12. Are you a team player?
To be a good team player, you have to be a good individual first. If you have a poor foundation, how are you expecting to be able to support or develop a strong/large house?
I am a player who works well in the team, bringing out the strengths in all team members, and utilizing them for their speciatlies. I am also a player who can hold his own in all areas and am able to support the team.
How I answer that question.
Thank you for the post it helps me to be prepare for my interview.
What kind of salary are you looking for?
Gee, lets say, somewhere in the neighborhood of what the CEO is making! Helloooooo, that is such a stupid question even if we say $100,000 for receptionist we are not going to get it, that answer would answer what irritates me about a (HR) coworker! Why not just throw a salary range, and ask the prospective employee if they would consider a position that pays in that area. I love it when I stumble upon job posting that are bold and honest enough to warn applicants: i.e., Title: Editorial Assistant Salary: Under $35,000.
Hi,
I found this site today (the day before my interview)!!!
Anyway these are some great tips & these posts are even better. I d just like to thank you all lol.
Wish Me Luck!!!!
I found that best way to go about salary question is to say something like “well, I don’t know, right now I make $80K plus benefits, and my stok option worth about 10K/year etc.” Of course numbers are adjusted to company, but this way I was able to get more $ than I would have otherwise, probably because it makes HR to realize that if others already paying me this much they should as well. Make sure you sound troubled by question at first and telling absolute truth.

Hi
These are great. I’m an ESL (Eng. as a Second Lang) tchr here in Istanbul and now hv an Upper Interm. Bus. class. They are mainly college seniors and am gearing up for interviews and such. The truly great jobs in Turkey are extremely competitive, as I suppose, they are anywhere. But as people rarely change jobs here, it can mean a lifetime-or at least 7 years–of NOT changing.
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys!
that was a long list to read! Thanx for sharing all those tips and experience with us! I really appreciate it.
I just started looking for accounting jobs and I got a total of two interviews so far (one per week). Is that too little?? (based on approx. 10-15 resumes sent each week)
I know I blew the first interview cause I didn’t practice any questions. As for the second interview, I feel that I could do better and say more of what I wanted to say but I didn’t get the opportunity to. The interviewer asked me only THREE questions for the WHOLE interview.
For those ppl who want to know the questions… They were: 1.) Tell me a little about yourself. (I think I did pretty well in this question); 2.) Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years? (I said I want to open a cosmetic retail business (I really do! but not 100% about the cosmetic part.) –> should I say that? cause I think he wanted to hear something else… should I tell him, I want to grow with the company, continue to learn, and make long-term contributions?;
3.) Do you have any questions?
any comments on my answer for the question 2?? should I tell him what he wants to hear or I want to do (and apparently don’t want to hear.)???? any suggestions?
Thanx for listening guys! again, I really appreciate all the postings and for sharing your experience with us all!
Hi! Thanks for all the advice. Man, I need to really prepare for my next interviews… but I have two questions… how would one answer:
1/ 3 Reasons why we shouldn’t hire you (tough!)
I would say “if you are looking for a workaholic, you would be disappointed because I cherish balance in all life aspects” but then, what about the other 2? Argh!
2 / And another thing. I’ve been traveling, visiting family and in short, doing my own thing, for almost half a year and I dread the moment when they ask what I’ve been doing this time, as there is nothing related to my career or the job. I don’t think “done yoga 3 hours daily and I’m finally capable to do the Headstand.. I’m very proud of it!” will impress National Instruments much.
Help! And thanks to everyone.
Q. What are your weaknesses?
A. I know that’s a common interview question but I admit I really don’t know how to answer it. I do my best at work, but like everyone else, I make mistakes. I learn from my mistakes and move on. [Be ready for the next question which may be to give an example of a mistake from which you learned something. Give a stellar example.]
The point of this question, like many others, is not to get an honest answer. It is to see how cool you are when put into awkward situations.
Q: What is your weakness.
A: I was looking for any appropriate answer of this question. I have read all the comments and replies. These are helpful.
I think one of the best answer to this question is
I don’t say no to anybody for any kind of help. Doing so sometimes it blew me off the track and I loose my momentum. I talked about this to my boss and he suggested me few tips like Prioitize your work. I start prioritizing my work and I am seeing results of that.
IF you have any suggestion to correct or modify this answer please post your views.
This site is really exciting and it can help persons to get the desired job that one aims for.It will be more useful if 20 most common interview questions can be listed with detail answers enough to reply withut pausing during the interview sesson.Tomorrow i have interview in Delhi,i hope will be able to crack it after going through this site.

dear sirs,
i would like to tell you that this is the most beneficial site for the interview highlights and thank you very much for sharing and lighting our sight with it
i have an interview up agianst 9 people in 3 days… and i have to say this site is very very helpful! thanks..
This site is very beneficial for all those who are preparing for an interview. I am also preparing for an interview could you please tell me the answer for the below question:
Tell me about your family? Just i would like to ask from where i have to start to answer this question. Just telling about the family members is enough or i have to tell something else.
I don’t believe they are asking you this to find out how dick, jane, and your dog spot are doing, so DO NOT give personal details about them, not only do you not have the right, but they are not interviewing for the position, you are!!!
Feel free to ask them WHY they want to know about your family, so you can decide what it is you want to tell them, and what is none of their business. In truth though, I think what they realy might be wanting to know is whether or not you will put family ahead of your career or visa-versa. You need to answer this question as honestly as posible. If they don’t like the answer, then it’s not the company you want to work for anyway.
I had this question once before, my answer was simple: “they are good, thank you for asking. how are yours?” the interviewer smiled, said good too, and moved on. I got an offer, but took something else instead.
Yeah you guys really suk
This site is so fuck ass stupaid.Why would you want to know the shit ass interview questions. i can make up my own interview questions like right now. For example: Why are you telling us about these fuck ass questions?
Are you made of shit? Because I think you are.
Why do you always smeel like yo’ momma’s ass?
See So you can just shut that ass hole of yours and tell people that you can make up your own interview questions!
“You suk” you need to go back to middle school and learn to spell. and i think you need to go back and read some of the things on this site so you could actually go out and get a real job insead of working at mickey d’s your whole life. I think this site really helped me prepare for my interview tomorrow with good example questions and a great responce to them. Thanks much 🙂
Hi, anyone can answer my question. And i would really appreciate your answers if you’re gonna help me. I am applying for a job right now in a call center hope you could help me in a little way.I need sample answers with explanations.Heres my questions:
1. What motivates you to work?
2. What are your strength and weaknesses ?
3. Why we should hire you?
4. What is your short and long term goal?
5. Why do you want to apply in our company?
1. You can always say your family movitates you to work. To be able to provide for them.
2. It’s always good to stay positive when it comes to your strengths you can talk about your positive attitude, your ability to work well with others, your ability to prioritize and your ability to work under pressure. Your weakness is a hard one you don’t want to say too much but you don’t want to ignore the question you are going to have to think about that one.
3. For this question you should point out how your skills can contribute to the company’s needs.
4. Be realistic, otherwise you can sound immature. You can say to find a job where you will be can be happy and contribute to the company’s success. Long Term you can say that you have proven yourself and hopefully be considered for a manager or supervisors position.
5. Your going to have to do some research for this one and see what the company is all about. Match your qualifications to what the position and company are looking for.
Stay positive and good luck.
I recently interviewed three females for a job position and following all the usual questions I asked each one the same question: “you find a £20 note on the shopfloor – what would you do?” the first girl said She would pick up the money bring upto the store manager and allow the manager to keep it safe in case someone distressed had lost it,it could be given back (she would give her name and address as well just in case it wasn’t claimed)
Thought this was a good answer until I asked the second person the same question, she replied “I would pick up the money – bring it to the local police and declare that I found the money and if unclaimed after 1 year and a day ask that you give the money a local charity.
Very good answer but then when I asked the last person this same question she said that she would “pick up the money, look around and pocket the money as it my good luck that i found it” who should I give the job to???
I gave the job to the one with the biggest Boobs!
I was asked during the interview in a FMCG company,What sales process would you adopt in this FMCG company and name the sales Process you are aware of?
This blog really helped me so much in my interviews. I got hired by a multi-national. It is really great.
good question:
what’s your biggest achievement?
thanks alot for this kind of message. it has given me an insight on what i would expect in an interview. being a fresh graduate without any experience. i wish you could provide a mechanism where i could send my questions and have them answered back to my e-mail. good day.
I must say this site is REALLY GOOD.
Good work dude(s)!!!
Read the postings, which are many but definately worth reading, filter out the HR people responses and get prepared for your interview.
That’s what I did and I think it worked.
I definately had a good “feeling” after the interview
(I will let you know if I got the job……)
A big advice…..
Be relaxed, sound natural, dress well and be smart in any way
Blessings+Luck 2 all the job hunters out there

This site is realy gud but one thing which i feel missing is that no body told taht how to react when u r in starting carrer

If somebody asks you ” what do you know about this company?”
How would you answer it? I had this question before and I told the interviewer about something I found from their company websites. But the interviewer thought I did a bad job by doing that. How should we handle this question?
hi
“Amanda – June 13, 2007
“You suk†you need to go back to middle school and learn to spell … and a great [*]responce[*] to them. Thanks much 🙂
”
LOL. Pot, black, kettle… well you know.
I’ve found that it’s definitely best to be yourself in interviews, and other than being smartly presented, not to *try* as such as that’ll come across negatively. Without being cocky, remember that the interview process is a great chance for you to interview the company for whom you’re considering lending your skills to (assuming that it is a skilled job and not one where candidates are 10 a penny) as well as to give the interviewer an impression of yourself. At the end of the day, literally, the interviewers are just people like yourself that you might have a pint with down the pub, and coming across friendly and open whilst not overly ingratiating works well. The interviewer may also be nervous, and helping to put them at ease is likely to have a positive effect.
With tricky questions, if you’re not sure of an answer then you can always say so or ask the interviewer to clarify. Not knowing an answer isn’t always the wrong answer and could be the right answer in a sense because not everyone knows everything. Other answers such as going to a book, looking up on google or asking peers can be valid answers because there will be times when you can’t do something, and having the initiative to solve the problem is a skill in itself.
With “tricky” questions like “what do you know about this company”, you might be honest and with a smile (but not a smirk) say “probably not enough”, and then immediately say that you did want to ask “XYZ about them”. Or you might say that you did some research but wanted to ask them… Obviously you need to know something about what they do, and should have been prepared by the recruitment consultant, whch of course you won’t get with any job boards and which is why they have a much less than 5% success rate and are a disaster.
Biggest weakness, I would say “perfectionist”. It happens to be true (or at least one my biggest ones), and conveniently can be seen as a strength, particularly when qualified to show that you’re aware of it and that actually you know when to stop.
Good luck to all.
i definately have to say that this is a very good post. i read every single thing on this website because i’m going for an interview for my first full time job on wednesday.

good information
its really good
testing!!
I am terrified of interviews hence I’ve stuck to 1job for many many years, even when I read the materials and tips I get memory loss. How do I gain the confidence and be able to remember what I read?
Anyone any apple interview questions??
i had a job interview that i thought went very well. i recieved a phone call that i did not meet their credentials. i felt short changed as that was left on my machine. i really liked the position offered and felt there were things that needed to be discussed further. i asked for another interview and asked them to reconsider their decision as i still thought that i would be an asset to them. was that wrong? i looked at it two ways. i believe in determination and yet i did not want to seem as though i was begging. but how would one know if they did not try or ask what the credential was that was missing?
thanks for this site I gained a lot of confidence reading those suggestions..thanks guys

VEry Useful Stuff…..COOOL !!
I’m terrible at interviews and I think these sample questions will really help me to prepare for future interviews.
One thing I wanted to state was that with the biggest weakness question, you should try to surround your answer with positive things even if it’s negative when it first comes out of your mouth.
For example, one of my biggest weaknesses is that I don’t trust my instincts. A way to put a positive spin on this would be “I don’t trust my instincts which sometimes results in my double checking everything to make sure it’s correct.” Something of that nature.

Thankz for the gr8888 site. I feel much stronger now that i’ve gone through the Q&A, i’ve got an interview soon…
Just planning ahead…
Thankz again..
has anyone interviewed with corning’s? if so, what kind of questions do they ask. i’m out of wilmington, nc. I got an interview with them this week.
I am so thankful I found this site. I am going for my first real job interview very soon. I am startled at the kinds of questions I may be asked.
I have been working in a temporary part time position for over a year. They have opened the job as a full-time position, which means my temp job will no longer exist and I have to apply for the full time one.
My co-workers are crazy as batshite, but I love them and my job. How do I be tactful when or if I get asked about if I’ve ever had any problems at a job, or with a supervisor or co-workers? They are all going to be on the initial interview and hiring committee!
“Yeah, it annoys me when Sally gets all drama-queeny and off-topic, and Jane criticizes me for simply not doing a job exactly as she’d do it, and Pam sits around all day and does nothing but talk about the bars she went to the night before. They all waste my time when I’m trying to work.”
I guess this is where I have to lie?
Never lie, as this will become obvious eventually throughout the interview. Be yourself, be yourself, be yourself. Tell the truth, but avoid pointing fingers toward others. Don’t be negative in anything you’re saying. And if that’s the case, shell it in a positive matter; this way you show the interviewer you have big positive plans.
I know this is too late for you, Elizabeth, and hopefully you’re enjoying your new full time job. But in case somebody else might go over your questions… 🙂 Hope will help.
Thank you KinDn3sS.
Great site:
I can give everybody some of my experiences where I answered the question in the wrong way and was not hired.
1) Greatest Weakness
This is a real twit of a question. I was asked it only once and it changed my whole perception of the company and the interviewer ( although in retrospect they may have said it to test my reaction ). I wasn’t going to trot out the old “ my greatest weakness is my hard working nature/ I am too much of a perfectionist/ I am never happy until I give 150%†type of BS. So I was honest ( instead of just laughing out loud ) – I said that I had a weakness for doing paperwork and got bored with it – bad move. I never got recalled. I agree that it is a bit of an invitation to put your head in a noose and must be resisted.
2) Making Jokes with the interviewer
Bad move – the guy was playing it 100% straight and I put in a weak joke ( saying my salary included a Per Diem allowance and a Per Collate allowance for coffee etc – geddit? Per collate – percolate – coffee??? Side splitting eh? Well no , not in any sense – I wasn’t called back needless to say.
3) Disagreeing with interviewee on technical point – no no and no ( although since he started to disagree with me I had probally lost the job anyway.)
Your points are valuable, and thank you for sharing them with me.
Regarding: 1,2,3, I’ll answer in the order they were posted.
The fact that somebody will ask you what your weakness is, does not mean you really have to divulge that you get bored with anything. I would have told them this way: “I tend to think that I get bored doing paperwork; however knowing the fact that I have a lot of work to do, I forget about being bored, and I just pursuit with finalizing my job as quickly as possible – this way, whoever needs the documents I submit, will take use of them”.
Jokes with the Interviewer: Just had an interview with the Director of the given department I’ve applied for, and at the beginning he seemed to be very straight and with no smile on his face. Yet, as soon as I opened my mouth, his face changed and… you know what his rep told me when I was called for the second interview: “I really like that guy’s personality, very friendly and happy.” This encouraged me a lottt for this second interview, and in either cases: whether I’ll take the job or not, I’ll still be smiling and happy, as I know I have a target in this world. That job that’s for me, no one else will take it apart from me. And my Joyce relies on God all the time.
Disagreeing with interviewer on technical point or any other point. You can disagree, but with delicatese. Be gentle when you go against his/her statement. If you see that the interviewer pushes with mantaining his idea, do it once – let him/her know what you’ll rather do that thing this way and motivate it on a founded opinion. If you see the interviewer pushes, tell him/her: “I really appreciate your honesty, and your concept is being respected”. Isn’t that easy?
Hopefully this will be of help for somebody else. 🙂
“you know what his rep told me when I was called for the second interview”:
the above statement should have been:
“you know what the HR Rep told me about what the Director said about me, when the HR Rep called me for the second interview”:
Sorry for my english; I’m more like technical oriented, rather then english (yet, I still speak English (broken, but… maybe you guys still can get some use of my words), German, French, Norwegian and Romanian. 😀
I had an interview today for a city job, and I WISH they had asked me ANY of the questions listed, as I might have actually been able to answer them. Instead, I got questions that were so unexpected that I still don’t know how I was supposed to answer them. For example:
What would you do if a supervisor directed you to do something that was against departmental policy? My response was that I would first make sure that I understood correctly what the supervisor had told me. Then I would have a sit-down with the supervisor to confirm that he understood the possible ramifications of what he was asking me to do. I then said that, in order to not be insubordinate, I would document everything and send a memo to the supervisor, confirming my understanding of what he wanted done, and then I would do it. Basically, I said that if the supervisor had no problem with his superiors knowing that he did directed me to do it, then I had no problem following his directives.
Everyone I’ve talked to said “NO!!! Wrong answer!!!” Easy for them to say, as they weren’t sitting there being glared at by four people who were asking technical questions from a list that I couldn’t get clarification on, because they were just a panel of people hired to screen people, not the actual hiring managers. Also, I showed up early, the receptionist handed me a piece of paper, and before I could sit down and read it, they hustled me in to the room and started the interview. Only later did I get to read the paper & find out that these people had not been given a copy of my resume, and thus had no idea of what my background or experience was. And at the end, when they asked me if I had any questions, I asked two, and was told they didn’t know on one, and couldn’t disclose that information on the other. I was so thrown off by this, I couldn’t think of anything else to ask. Questions to them like: “Why did you accept your present job here?” wouldn’t really have worked, since they didn’t work in the group I would be hired by. They were just an HR screening board.
I totally spaced on some questions, totally put my foot in my mouth once (something relating to my being the only ‘girl’ in the group, so I was asked to do all the documentation because I had the best writing skills), and stupidly apologized at the end for being nervous.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be getting a call back. That’s okay, as there is another job I’d much prefer that I just got an ad for. I just hate these stupid questions. Tech people aren’t necessarily the best B.S. artists in the world, so it’s hard for some of us to play this little “game”.
I feel with you, and I can say I once was on your shoes. But still… don’t even bother yourself that they don’t have your Resume. Show them you really care about the job; that’s all that matters. Do this in a very respectful way. And yes, nervous… everybody feels that. Oh my… 🙂
But… conquer this situation with smiling and relaxing on that chair. You see them with one leg on the top of the other one; why wouldn’t you show them you’re relaxed by doing the same thing… not at the very beginning, but as you go with the interview. 🙂
I hope and I know you got a better then expected job. 🙂
hi,
I quite my job about 5 months ago. partly because my supervisor and also it was coincident with me being diagnosed with an early cancer. the surgery went well and I am up and running and have an interview soon. I heard they will be keen to know why I quite. I am not to mention the supervisor but should I mention the cancer? isn’t it an negative thing, despite the fact that I am cured now.
Why did you quit? Did you have health benefits? Any specific reason? The fact that you have cancer, shouldn’t have pushed you toward quitting your job.
You cannot blame on your supervisor, the fact that you quit. Be honest, tell them what happened, you had to go through treatment or whatever reason you had, and… I’m sure you’ll make it.
Don’t hide that you have cancer. But they don’t really need to know that either. So… this remains up to you.
If I were you, I’ll tell them I quit my job for personal reasons, and… at this moment, I’m ready to go forward as I’m all prepared and EnGuard. 🙂
I’ve had an interviewee ask me, “Which is more important to you…being liked or being respected?” I tried to straddle the fence and take the stand that both were important.
It was for a finance position and I think it ended up costing me the opportunity for a second interview. I’d recommend taking the respect angle.
Hi this really helped me in my interview last week.. i got a invitation for my 2nd interview next week friday.. 😀
Thanks..
i want many interviw question papers, and about my self in this question, how should be represnt in correct manner and tell some example. some hr question and techanical question in c and c++.
please tell me about questions asked in interviews of biotechnology industries
A NEW ONE –
“WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?”
My immediate response was to laugh and reply ‘As if I’m going to tell you that!’, which produced a hearty laugh from the panel. I was relieved. All of ‘the most’ embarrassing moments are going to be inappropriate. Thought I had got away with it, as was thinking something very very personal, when someone cleared their voice and said ‘ahem, no, really…’ and then all i could think about was that one really emabarrssing moment and nothing else.
In retrospect i should have said ‘well, this is getting close…’
But now I have being sick down the side of a freshly-cleaned bullet train at a platform in Tokyo, trying to aim it out of the open door between the platfomr edge and the side of the train onto the tracks by using my hands as a funnel. I looked up, and there, having just left the train, were the uniformed cleaning crew staring at me from the platform in complete disgust.
Here’s one for ‘What’s your greatest weakness?”
First start with the response given earlier in this blog: My innability to fully show my potential in a job interview such as this.
Then sell yourself by stating that while you work, you show passion and dedication to whatever task that’s assigned to you.
Then follow up with that by stating: The solution to that would be to offer me the position and then in 1-2 months after evaluating my performance, give me feedback on what my weaknesses are. I welcome feedback that helps me to improve what I do and make me a better employee.
If you try this, let me know how this worked out for you!

Hi please do send me some Interview Questions and Answers for the Warehouseman/Chauffuer position,
Worst questions I’ve ever seen asked (and was done so just to judge how you react to something you don’t expect and how you think on your feet) were:
“If you could paint your front door any color, which color would it be?”
“If you out on a boat and you dropped a cannon ball off the side, how long would it take to hit the bottom of the water?”
Kind of ridiculous if you ask me but I did actually get the job…by the way, for the 2nd question, I said “Honestly, I guess it would depend on the depth of the water, but my main concern would be why we were throwing away our ammo.”
Hi i just came back from thje interview and they want me to meet the director next time because he was not in today….so what do u think guys????? is it a positive response????i need your suggestion….Please wish i get this job….and yes this site ROCKS!!!!
Well… it happened to me one time before when I had 2 interviews with the same guys. The director wasn’t there for any of these 2 times. They called me for the 3rd interview with the Director. A very cold She, faking her smile on her face – you’ll see if even from Europe. 🙂 She seemed to like me, but… something didn’t match in her questions which were not even close technical questions.
And yes, the “She” turned me down.
However, I got something better at that time, and I respected her decision. I’m sure God didn’t allow me to step on her department. Why? He only knows. 🙂
But thanks be given to Him! ForEver!
P.S! I’m sorry, but the job interviews shouldn’t study my psycho problems. 🙂 Just personal opinion.
GOOD infromation guys Keep it up
Good one Sweety76, thats a green light to meet the Director that means you have impressed them and all they need is confirmation fro the director and they can take you to the director if you were not yourself!!! WEll done
Guys i have an interview tomo now the guys who are interviewing me are my friends outside work what would be the advice on how i should handle the interview!!!
Thanks triple K
hey…. good work…these will be really helpful i hope.. tthank u…
this is so shit
Could you express yourself in a nicer way, if I don’t ask for too much? Lots of people coming here and… I don’t think they enjoy this s*** word. Neither do I. 🙂
Thanks.

This site is AWESOME. I have a interview on Tuesday and the questions are similar to the ones I have been having problems answering during my interview. Thanks everyone for putting in your comments.
In my Interview the question asked is
“Why was your agreegate on a decline ,starting from High School-to-higher secondary-to-Graduation â€.
I foolishly say due to lack of concentration.I think this is not right answer.
please reply best answer for this question,because tomorrow there is an Interview for me.
i have an interview today and want to answers to the followig questions: tell us about yourself, do you drink, why should we employe you? tell us about your achievements. what are you worth.
has anyone ever been asked about their GPA? just curious.
anyone have experience with a marketing or marketing assistant job interview?
Hello everyone, I just went in for an interview today and I have to say I feel 95-99% good about my chances of landing the job. I researched the company, made a list of responses or replies I would make about myself, both negative and positive, and went in there looking professional. I made myself comfortable before the interview in the lobby by joking inside my head and smiling slightly but no so obvious that I would look like an idiot.
I did a basic skills test regarding math and it was easy, nothing beyond algebra, but it was time consuming, and later proceeded to the interview. I was very relaxed, the individual who interviewed me was a great person, very positive person and not shady whatsoever. This helped me to relax even further. The interview felt more like a chat than an interview where we discussed what I had to offer. Needless to say, I was almost disappointed the interview was over when it ended (about 30 minutes).
Luckily there were no weird questions, or even any tough questions. The question that can probably be considered toughest was, “what would you improve about yourself?” and I had little trouble with it.
Hopefully they will call me back for another a second round.
I do not know what to write but i just feel like writing. I’m on my way to discovering new heights. I was surfing to this net to look for some possible or I might say best answers for job interviews. But I’m lost with lots of this stuff in the internet. Besides I’m running out of time. Will somebody lend me a hand?
Thanks for the information. I was asked these very same questions just yesterday. I know the lady used this site, do to the order of the questions she asked. I also believe I answered most of them well. However, I find it ridiculous! How about asking questions that pertain to the work? Good people being filtered out by people that don’t have a clue about IT/IS. {it could also be other departments. I only know about IT/IS} This website offers good information to have, but it is laughable. Not only do I need to make sure my resume is perfect. That when I apply for a position, I know how to achieve everything they are asking me to do. I also need to play games with arrogant goofballs that can’t do anything technical or ask technical questions. Yes people in HR.
Again thank you for this information. I will have the canned answers that don’t sound too rehearsed for the next interview.
Good luck to everyone looking for a job. It’s more a popularity issue than the amount knowledge you have.
Oh yeah, I understand your concern. I went through the same experiences, unfortunately. However, let them decide the game, as they are entitled to give you the job, and if they hire people that don’t have any idea about IT field, don’t worry… they got people inside that will take care of those that are being accepted, yet – no knowledge in the technical field. Anyway, if their personalities is what attracts them, then… that should be it. I will rather have a person with great personality, then a person that cannot share information at all (very quite and… backed on his office with his/her nose in the monitor)…
This is my personal opinion. And I respect their decisions. If it is or not beneficial to me, I’ll still respect that, as I don’t have the right to judge them.
Thanks.
just a side note to everyone reading this, follow up your interview with a thank you note. put “ATTN:” name of the people who interviewed u. if there’s a tie, you’ll have the upper hand.
Do you have any principale towards job?
My answer will be – Don’t do the task which are acceptable, do the task which is right.
hai
i liked the collection & i am yet to face a job interview
Smiling really helps too and if you’re goodlooking..like me!
If its a google job position, well forget it, you might as well start wearing glasses and acting nerdy. They love that.
Am I wrong in saying that?
🙂
no your not wrong. ill take it as a good suggestion if i ever want to work for google.
Thaks a lot for this quations and answers.
If an interviewer ask you what kind of animal you are and why, what do you suggest?
This will be my answer: “God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person”, or something like that. This should resolve the interviewer enigma. 🙂
He might not like it, but this is my only Truth – the Bible represents the God’s Word.
you should really NOt use that. you will get fired. unless your looking for a job at a church or something, but even then you would just look retarded for not saying it right. lol and there is no god so stop wasting your time.
Lol..I would say a dog because it’s man’s best friend!
hi great site has anyone any tips on internal interviews i have an interview for quality co ordinator
Another question that I find some interviewers ask in the UK is “What kind of boss do you like to work with?”
The expectation here is to determine how the candidate handles having to answer a question where the answer that might be most acceptable is unknown.
In my experience such a question has the same result as “tell me your weaknesses” because the interviewee will not say anything that is controversial.
Yestrday, i hav attended the interview…..
questions they hav askd are..
tell me abt urself and why should we hire you??
the answers tht i hav provided were no sufficient……
Plz anyone gv better answers???
[…] 50 COMMON INTERVIEW Q&A « Bhuvana Sundaramoorthy’s Blog (tags: career interview questions) […]
Greatest Strength : That Im a hardworker
Greatest Weakness : That I sometimes get frustrated that I am working hard and that my co-workers are not. I overcome this by staying focused on doing my job to the best of my ability and staying positive as well as not worrying that my co-workers may be slacking off.
One aspect of the interview is the questions that should be asked of the interviewers.
This shows an understanding of the company (gained from the internet) and should also allow the interviewee to determine if the boss is someone that can act as a good employer.
My two favourite questions are as follows:
1) How would you describe the company’s management style?
(reward management / communication)
2) What efforts do you take to retain your top talent within the business? (Training/ communication etc)
MADAM,
I NEED “ONE WORD” ANSWERS FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS::
01. IT MEANS WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ILLNESS
02.WE ARE GETTING BIGGER
the so called “questions”, apparently in my knowledge, do not show me any related statements (the statement is wrong exposed, also… where’s the question mark?).
So… can we get the questions?
This is what I’ll reply to the interviewer, perhaps… but gently. 😀
“37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?”
Um, how about a big no, hell no to this one? Why would I work for an organization that was against my own interests in the first place? It is possible to NOT hate where and why you work, people. Not every business in America (where I live and work) is a soul sucking job that makes you want to jump out your office window into oncoming traffic, even if some are.
you didn’t quite understand that question. 🙂 Nobody ever will ask you to jump into oncoming traffic (they will still need you, right?).
Unlike me – my interviewer “asked me” to jump on the rood of this company and grab a Hard Drive that apparently slept from the windows base. Imagine me: Engineer, getting my socks off of my feet, and… grabbing that HDD. I could have easily get onto the oncomming traffic.
And guess what? I got the IT Engineer field job. 🙂
Re: Do you have any weaknesses? / What’s your biggest weakness? Etc..
My inclination is always to ponder for just a moment, remarking that it’s a very difficult question to answer. Consider throwing in “Well, I can look a bit serious at times, but it’s only because I tend to get very involved in my work.” But the curve ball is this: “I don’t think I have any weaknesses that would affect my ability to perform well in this job!”
I am not sure how to answer the following questions, so let me know your thoughts-
What two major contributions will you provide to the department for short term, and also for long term?
Thanks for the input.
“why are you wearing pink color shirt”?
Uug…..
Pink represents a mixture of Red and White colors. If you refer to RED, look at the Christ’s Blood. That Red marked, turned me into a WHITE person (I’m not a black person, but still…), and here I am: Pure (the White color meaning). And… I got a good reason to wear Pink Shirt. 🙂
I have been asked to fill in the application job. how to answer this question? What is your ambition and why?
Thanks for the question examples. I’m autistic, so these will help big time. Luckly I got a two week advance notice to get ready for an interview, in eight days.

I was in great confusion this site really helped
hi plz tell me how to start when in interview they ask about the work experiece.
I agree with Gav on the ‘What’s your biggest weakness’ question.
I always pause and say ‘this question always throws me because, while i know i am not perfect and realise that from time to time there may be areas that i need to work on or improve I cannot think of anything that i would consider a weakness’.
If asked to ellaborate on an area that i felt i needed to improve on in the past i always answer honestly with a minor flaw that would not have any great impact on the role i am applying for and then discuss how i improved on that flaw. . . eg,
In the past I noticed that I was a little dis-organized in the way i kept my work space, i had to work out a system for keeping my desk in a more organised way.
Or another time I said that in my first job after I left college I had trouble with time-keeping and punctuallity but luckily I was able to see it as a weakness and do something about it before it became a problem. Now i pride myself in always being on time and in my current job i received an award for my exceptional attendance and adherance. This was an interview for a job with Flexi-Time so lateness wasn’t an issue.
I always try to pick something that wouldn’t affect the current job but show that i have the ability to recognize weaknesses and work out how to fix them.
Another few tricky questions that I have come across quite a bit are;
– Tell me about a challenge you faced, How did you overcome it.
– What was the last thing you voluntered for.
– Tell me about a time you overcame a conflict.
– If you thought that something was being done wrong what would you do about it.
– If you addressed an issue with a Superior and you were told that is the way it is done around here and you can’t change it. What would you do?
– Here is a pen sell it to me. ( Sales interviews )
– What do you think this job involves?
– Ok, so you’ve had a look around our organization. What would you do to improve it? ( I hate that one )

TR Bobby – August 19, 2006
Your criticism of the answer about perfectionist shows just how inexperienced you are across industries. Having been a hiring manager for many years in the IT industry I have found that the “perfectionist” flaw is indeed a real one at times. When dealing with programmers, QA analysts, BAs, and PMs that need to be extremely detail oriented most of the time it is not always easy for them to turn this characteristic off when they are asked to give a “rough pass” at something.
Most of the time people can do it, but there are some individuals that simply cannot. These people are the ones that put every ounce of themselves into their work even when it is not needed or desired. They just don’t have the ability to turn in what they consider to be “sub-par”, but apparently you are not one of those people and have not worked with them.
Extremely detail oriented people or perfectionists are very hard to find in a lot of industries, but for those of you out there that are interviewing for an IT related position, please do not discount that answer or wrongfully judge the person who gives it. Just ask them to give you an example how that has been a problem in the past. If they have to think about it, then maybe it is a canned answer. Just don’t write people off based upon the biased opinion of someone like “TR Bobby.”
I mean no disrespect to TR Bobby, but please do not negatively editorialize unless you are a subject matter expert in every sence of the term. It is far better to have a positive outlook on people.
Cheers!
Good catch! Thanks a lot!… I do agree with you, 100%. Anyone against? 🙂
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!
I’m not sure if this topic was discussed, but I’ve been interviewing with several companies over the past few weeks and have had this question/scenario thrown at me. “How do you deal with a supervisor/manager who’s unwilling to accept that he/she is performing a job function incorrectly?” (something to that nature) What are recruitment managers seeking when a candidate is answering that question? I believe it’s important to share ideas and explore options to get the job done, but if leadership is unwilling to you suggest your way, or allow them to continue on a path of distruction?
I have taken an aptitude test for a company and need to send an email thanking them. (I did well and will get an interview) But, I don’t know how long it will be before the interview. How should I ask this without sounding to pushy in the email?
This has also helped me so much.
Thank you all, including the people responding, for the tips.
I have an Interview in an hour. I’ll use this the best I can.
Thank you, again.

Wow…There are a lot of interviewers with personal issues!!! The one post where the interviewer said if the interviewee answered every question without hesitation, then I would be questioning how many interviews the candidate has been on, and why he/she has not been hired.???!!! R u serious??? Why the hell would you come up with that!!! Your the reason why candidate wouldn’t get the job!!! Do you feel great about that??? Ruining a persons chance of getting a job b/c of your beliefs, or what YOU think is right, or wrong!!! You suck
Wrong, Chris. They have the right to ask you that question. You could have easily answer them this way:
“Apparently, I’m still searching for the proper position. So far, every interview I went to before, provided me with so much aspirations and challenge, and the positions I’ve applied for were very attractive. I got some good feedbacks, and I’m waiting for others notifications. However, I’m still looking for THE ONE and I do hope your job will be the Chosen One”. Why not? 🙂
YOU SUCK. no hesitation is a good idea. means you can think under pressure!!! THEY WANT THAT!!!! dumb ass.
I`m off to an interview on the 5th Sep. These are a few of the questions I managed to get hold of:
Please summarise your career aspirations and your reasons for applying for a position within the Food Industry. What research have you done for your application? What else do you want to know and why?
Describe a time when you were proactive in seeking responsibility for a task or activity. What were you trying to achieve? How did you know you were doing the right thing?
What is the biggest ‘people problem’ you have faced when working in a team? What part did you play in creating and/or resolving the problem? What did you learn from the experience?
Describe a time when you simply had too much to do and you needed help. What did you do? How did you feel at the time?
Tips would be gratefully accepted.

Great site !! Its interesting to see the different questions and answers.
I have one technique that has helped me get 3 job offers, and I took 2 of them. I hestitate to tell them, but I wish to share them for the benefit of everyone. Just don’t use them where I’m interviewing in the future…. LOL.
At any point in the interview, if they haven’t suggested it to you, ask to see the area/office that you would be working in, or mention something positive/negative that you may have seen in the parking lot, bathroom, cafeteria, lounge, anywhere. Make it seem that you have been “looking” at their company as well as them looking at you.
It really takes the interviewer by surprise if you ask for a brief tour, since they probably haven’t budgeted time for this request, and it puts them on the defensive to show the good side of the company. I actually was able to land a job because I asked to see the manufacturing floor I would be responsible for, instead of seeing it on day one. The hiring manager said she NEVER had someone ask to see where they would be working before they were hired, and she said that impressed her.
Wouldn’t YOU like to see where you would be working before you said “yes” ? If your office was next to the bathroom, or 5 steps from the loading dock, or next to the timeclock, would you be very productive every day? Do you buy a car without at least driving first? Do you buy a house without inspecting it? A job should be no different.
Bravoooo…!!!!!! This is what I’ll do today… I’m sure they’ll ask me: “Do you have any questions?!” 😀
This will be my question: “May I have a brief tour of the place I will be working on (location, departments,…)?”.
HEY KINDNESS, YOU’RE FUNNY! YOU’RE REPLYING TO COMMENTS that are 2 years old! i have an interview in two days and this stuff is really useful, thanks a lot guys!

hi,
I went to my first interview and they asked me about salary and my answer was lower than what is expected in the industry. now they called for the second interview, i really want this job and i am just graduated and it is my first professional job in IT sector. I was wondering how I can fix the mistake that i made in the first interview about the salary? I really really want the job and i am sure i will have great future with this company. but i messed up the salary question, what should i do?
please help me, many thanks
The information you provided, is what they will go for. You are surely entitled to deny their offer, later on. You were not supposed to make such mistakes, since you wasted both: your time, and their time too. 😦
How to fix it? Accept the job with the mentioned salary you specified, and expect increase to the market salary, as time goes.
i used this for my homework..fuck yeah!!
Interesting your reply… do you really have to express yourself this way? 😦
Awesome. I am in state government and this has been so helpful. I will post some great stuff I have found as well once I get past the interview. I am researching right now.
please read all interviews which will imorove your ccc skills
Sobrina,
I doubt you can really bring up the salary again. That’s probably one of the reasons they’re bringing you in for a second interview. If you gave them a specific number, you’ve basically locked yourself into that. If you gave them a range, you have some room to negotiate. Go towards the high end of the range if you can. ALWAYS give them a range, never a specific number, unless they ask what your salary was at a previous other job (they can find out anyways, so you might as well just tell them)
Maybe you could try for some other benefits, like flex time, extra days off, laptop computer, work from home. Ask if your work can be reviewed in 3-6 months, and maybe you can negotiate for some extra money.
Being that this is your first job, you may not have alot of stuff you can ask for. Use it as a learning experience, if anything. Sorry.
Can someone help with the following:
Describe Success and professionlism
Well I put them in my own words, but for whatever reason I never get the job. I dont know if I am answering wrong or what. I know the definition of them both but I am not sure where I go wrong.
they’ll have you suicidal suicida. Serafino Raimondo.

ANIMAL = DOLPHIN (everyones loves them) they are smart and easily trained…. aka I learn quick, hire me
Excuse me, but do I look like a Dolphin? 😀
Never call yourself animal, unlike teachers used to call some of my classmates when I was student. 😦
This is quite comprehensive and i have really learnt a lot from it. I have an interview tomorrow morning and i know i am going to get the job. This has really been helpful
I get very confused / embarassed when the interviewer asks me the quaetion ” So, Mr. Anil why do you want to change your current job when you are getting the best in the industry, your Employer and co-workers appreciate your performance, and even when you are also enjoying your job”.
and the situation worsens when they ask
” I can’t believe that you want to change your job just for a better position / salary package or just because you believe we are better than your present Employer and you want to learn or do something new”.
thank you…

I do a fair number of interviews as an interviewer, and one item I haven’t seen covered yet in these comments is the need to be prepared for situational questions. These will give a scenario to the interviewee and ask for a response, usually along the lines of “How would you handle the situation?” Important points to remember are prioritization of tasks, following generally accepted procedures/best management practices, and not going above your pay grade/responsibility in making decisions. That said, make sure to answer in a way that shows you can get the job done.
Lastly, I agree with TR Bobby…the weakness question sucks.
Hi people!
I have an important interview for a notorious UK Bank tomorrow (graduate position) and I really want to thank you all for all the tips given.
It sounds like a common statement to say, but work out things with honesty. It is more profitable than you think.
Regarding the “talk about your weknesses” question I will tell the truth about myself, that is: I tend to be shy with people I don’t know and to overcome this, at University, I spoke with as many unknown students as possible, at meetings/classes and even parties.
I then realised it wasn’t a real problem, but only a little fear inside myself. And when you overcome your fears, it made you stronger.
Hope it can help.
plz tell me what r the questions asked in the interview related to s/w testing? that will be my first interview in US.
Actually i am a science back ground .now i am selected my profession in accounts.So pls answer the question why do like to choose this field?
Because you love playing with numbers? 🙂
I have always made up to final round & then get rejected in the Operation manager round. Because of questions like why did you leave your current job? I have worked for 3yrs in an organisation as an accountant & admin & in a call center for 1 yr which i had to leave as i was unable to handle almost 120calls in day due to health problems & working for US shift. I quit the company 8 months back & still jobless don know what to say when asked. I have also done Fashion desingning but really dint work in this field as it was a 1yr course, dint fetch me a job besides this i have done B.A. Im always asked why dint you choose job in your field? Why there is so much of confusion in your resume? whats your weakness? Its become great challenge for me to get a job. Seriously dont know what to do please help me with these questions.
Do you really need to throw all that information on your Resume? No, I’m not asking you to lie or anything, as the truth will all the time become obvious. But… I don’t think I’ll tell them I’ve worked for McDonalds when I apply for a IT Engineer position. You may add that McDonalds, if you’re a beginner, but you said you applied for a Manager position. Well, excuse me… but as a manager, you cannot run from the hop 1 to the hop n (n>1).
What I can recommend you, is just try to remove things that are not related to the job you applied for. Try to improve your resume by putting more related information, rather then something that’s not useful at all, and after all… information that could get you down even more.
I know some point about the question but do not say proper answer
Please give me specific interview answer like
1 Why did you leave your last job?why u want to leave present job? are u not happy with current employer?

Firstly, great site n great tips. have an interview with a biggg finance company in a hour so helped me brush up my skills.
Mark, thts a great weekness answer. im gona use it if asked. thanks!!
With regards to the ‘weakness’ question, I think the best answer is to be honest and point out a weakness in a skill and NOT a personality trait.
For example I might say while I have great IT skills, I do not know that many software packages outside of the usual Microsoft Office and internet programmes. Obviously if the job involves knowing a lot of progammes this would be a bad answer, but generally it is a good answer because it really just focuses on something that can easily changed and is not an inherent flaw in your personality.
This one may not be useful to everyone; but the idea is be honest and talk about something that can be improved on which is skill-based raterh than personality based.
i don’t have nothing to say, just good jobs.

pretty useful blog 🙂
I recently had an interview….which I wish I had seen this sight before having…
A couple of questions that caught me off guard:
1. What is the worse decision you’ve made in the past year?
2. What is the best decision you’ve made in the past year?
I really didn’t know what to say! “Not eating that extra slice of pizza”? 🙂
Q. What is more important to you- your job/work or your salary?
this question becomes more tricky when the candidate is a fresher.. coz here he can’t demand for much & not knowing what to expect, he might just spoil this vry gud ball at hand… a gud answr can be: sir, definitely work stands first for me but i wont go for a job that brings me misery. if my hardwork pays for nuts then it is useless..
(any other suggestions???)
I’ve answered above to a similar question. You might look for that answer.
As about your answer, that shouldn’t be an option – personal opinion. 🙂 Any other advices, are welcome. 🙂

Apparently, you’re not working. 🙂 You keep on denying a great person you should be. 🙂 Repent, Bro… repent and… let people talk about good things, on the topic. 🙂
Heather,
Explain that you were laid-off, but tell them you were looking for work while you were taking care of your family. Or say that because you were laid-off, you wanted to take a look at all options, not just the first job that came your way.
Was this the first time you were laid-off? Its always stressful, and people know this. Sometimes it takes 3-6 months or more to find work.

how do i handle the question why i left a job,where the reason i left was because my boss/ owner hit me??? (in the head 3 or 4 times)
I need to offer you some advice that helped me land a very good job recently.
When they ask you about your weakness, tell them this:
I prefer to think that I do not have any character weaknesses, however my biggest weakness in the workplace would be attempting to do too much at times without asking for help.
This is can be a huge hit with your potential employer because they see that as a strength! I even had the head boss tell me that! Atleast that way, you are not selling yourself out.
Here are two more of the interview questions:
Who was your worst boss? A) To be honest with you, I cannot recall ever having a bad boss. Each had their own way of effectively running the business.
Was there ever a time when your integrity was tested? A) You have to give your own personal take on this.
If a manager told you to do something that was against company standards, would you confront them on this issue? A) Yes, I would always adhere to company policy/standards no matter what, and hope that my supervisor would do the same.

Thanks
The Tips and answers are great to say the list
Enigma – phone interviews are actually quite easy, since you can have your list of questions, answers, and key words in front of you as they ask questions. They didn’t ask any questions that were out of the ordinary. You do have some thoughts and ideas written down, don’t you? If not, get writing!
You can be in your jeans and a t-shirt, with a cup of coffee or soda nearby. I actually had a phone interview while watching TV. I got a second interview in person, but unfortunately didn’t get the offer due to not enough international business experience.

I was asked to come back for a second interview. During the first interview I asked questions related to the organization, management style, and an ideal employee. What are some other questions I need to prepare for the second interview? Also, do I need to handshake with interviewers again?

God bless you all!
Enigma, enjoy your job – hopefully you’re still there.
good luck enigma.!
remember to jot down the questions and post them here please!
Oki-doki:)
Here are the questions they asked me:
Of course,,tell me about yourself”….Then about my experience i have for the position i am applying for.After that i was asked about a typical day at my job.I am still working for a company so they asked me why i want 2 leave,what are my duties there in details.My position is customer service supervisor so she asked me how many employees i have in my team,how i motivated them 2 work,and then about customer service :how i handle difficult customer,if i am willing 2 work overtime if they will ask me 2…Very easy questions….
Then she told me about the position,she asked me if i am willing 2 attend 8 weeks training…she told me the salary,and that was it!
P.S:)
Another question:What i know about the company….
great… it seems you had a great interview!
Excellenet… do you have interivew questions asked in engineering interiviews?

“Engineering” is a big world. Could you “shrink” the real sense of this term? 🙂 I might be able to assist. 🙂
I just like to say this will be my resource blog when I hit that interview time again soon. Very informative, I’d also like to plug my blog (my web site is undergoing some reconstruction)

I just read your articles. And, I was truly impressed. I previously had an interview, and would have liked to have known about this website. Good job!
Thank,

565. I just wrote a message to you. Please, remove my last name. Thanks. That was my fault. Oops, sorry.
Thanks. Have a good day.

i dont htink this site helps at all i peronlly thnk sellling weed works best
Thanks a lot this helps a lot. Do you site that have any interview with any person. I just want to see any live interview Just want to know how people ans when you throw quetion on them.
hi! thanks to this website, can you give some interview tips
My question isnt directly related to the questions posted but I figured since there were so many people responding I would see what you guys say.
I graduated from universtiy about 14 months ago and literally fell into the job I have right now. The pay isnt the best and the work is boring but I enjoy my work environment and the people I work with. I reciently got a job interview for another company. I was just wondering how I would go abouts telling my boss or even if I should be telling my boss. I don’t want to lie about why I will need the time off but if I am too vague she might ask what im going to be doing. I get along well with her and I don’t want it to affect our work relationship just incase I don’t get the position. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
got my phone interview today and went great. I really prepared for it. Now im on my second interview, which wont be over the phone 🙂
they started asking about question 1 “Tell me about yourself” it seems this is the kicker for all interviews I had. The best way is to use your past experiences and education towards the job description. I tried to check all the points on the job description; so just build your presentation around that and you’ll be fine.
message should be syncronised according to the particular question that are ask during interview .It helps us to know how a particular question is asked in different way and how we have answer.
what does a customer mean to you?
anybody who comes to you for assistance is regarded as a customer
had face to face interview today… so they asked q’s
2. Why did you leave your last job?
5. What do co-workers say about you?
6. What do you know about this organization?
11. What kind of salary do you need?
13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
15. What is your philosophy towards work?
18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
19. Why should we hire you?
21. What irritates you about co-workers?
22. What is your greatest strength?
24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?
28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
30. What has disappointed you about a job?
34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?
50. Do you have any questions for me?
I think the problem at least for me is to stop TALKING. sometimes I try to prove the point when I got the answer right.
As they say, only say whats necessary! so hard to do. Overall Investigating the company and looking about what the position was about made a good impact on the interview. hope those extra things I said didn’t screw me up.
This was for a Fortune 500 company, ranked top 5 on customer satisfaction plus other awards and the position is for a DBA.
If all goes well I’ll have an interview with the manager…. till next time.

Myself an aviation trainer, i have found many a questions being answered wrongly, i would like to quote one such question. Once one of my trained student was asked “Do you think you need to give special treatment to a passenger”
Well the student gave the answer, “No, we need to treat all passengers at the same level, blahblah”. Here we need to know there are certain areas and certain situations where you need to think out of the box, see for yourself how these both answers fit into it
ans.1. All passengers should be treated the same
ans.2. : It is okay to “spoil†a passenger, provided all work is done and it is not against the law or company rules
You know second one fits the bills more appropriately but it may look out of sync with customer care regulations, sigh.

please help me as soon as possible.
tee me answer for first quetion and DERSCRIBE URSELF
I have been interviewing many people in the past and the trick to get them to “babble” more than they would have shared is to make them very very comfortable. Many candidates have told me that they were let go from other departments, whined about how they were overworked and under-payed and how they have a troubled dog at home who will needs their constant attention and hence leave from work…And I have also found those enthusiastic and dedicated few who have formed great team members. So be careful what you say and keep a positive attitude throughout !! Oh and one more thing: PLEASE have a “professional” email address rather than ‘strawberrylips’ or something to that effect….my pet peev !!
Hello: It has been great reading this website and feeling confident. Does anyone have any Qs for ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN Interviews? Thanks.
Sush: you are right about the interviewer making you feel very comfortable and there is always tendency to “babble” more. One must be alert at all times. After-all, once you get the job, you have to spend all that time together working – sometimes more than you do with your family !! Its a good weeding-out technique.
Also, Thanks for the email tip 😉
Another of my numero uno Q: ‘Have you encountered an upset customer and how have you handled the situation?’. The best possible answer I look for is that the sales-person keep calm and then tries to calm down the customer and re-assuring them they will help them out and look into the matter personally AND follow through on their promise !! Nothing can piss you off more when something with your order goes wrong and now the person who promised you the moon did not follow through !! During an interview a sense of how you can solve a problem, come up with solution and ALL this with a smile and a positive upbeat attitude is very important.
Happy New Year, Everyone. I am so glad I found this website and it is really helpful. I got an interview tomorrow. It is my first interview in 2008. I hope I can land this job.

Congratulations Nicole!
Need some help with the question, “Why did you leave your last job”? The reason for the call out for help is I was terminated from my last employer. To make a short story long I got cross ways with one of my bosses, and I made 2 of my subordinate managers mad by forcing them to do their jobs. So, they made false accusations about me. I was fired and filed for unemployment. My former employer tried to fight it and when it went before the TWC, my former employer showed the TWC they had no real grounds or evidence to terminate me. Therefore I kept my unemployment benefits.
Now back to my question, how do I explain this to a potential employer without “talking bad” about my former employer and at the same time not make me look bad?
i would like you to send me questions and answers on how to approach to interviews

Preparation for Interview
Hey
I have an interview in 3 day…URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!!
My interview has a 10 minute ‘presentation’ which I have to do at the start. I am only told what the presentation is on 30 minutes before i go in.
Anyone got any tips?
I was asked about salary in the interview I had before xmass for the job I am now in. The recruiter had told me over the phone the range they were offering so when asked in interview I said I knew the range was x to y and I would obviously prefer the upper end of that range. I got the most they were offering and have a top job now.
Tom, I was asked to prepare a 10minute presentation on a specific topic related directly to the job, I am not sure how you can prepare a 10 minute presentation half an hour before the interview. I think you should phone the person in charge of the interview and ask for more information. This might be difficult considering it is now the weekend and I assume your interview in on Monday? Maybe you should have took the initiative to ask or phone them back. Perhaps drop them a polite email and hope someone picks it up over the weekend.
The presentation was a God send for me as I am not the most ‘people friendly’ person and I really wanted to show off my technical knowledge. I played this up and expressively thanked them for the opportunity to do the presentation and that I was excited about it (which I genuinely was). The presentation also forced me to research extensively the area I am now working in.
If its a technical job you are going for you can research around the job role and pick something relevant.
You have found one of the best pages on the net for interviews, this page is really helpful to quell your nerves.
I got my mum to ask me random questions from the list above, it was really sad and quite embarrassing, but it helped me so maybe its worth a shot for others.
best of luck to everyone viewing this page!
Dont be worried though Tom, they might not tell you anything or your competitors anything anyway. Be as prepared as you can be, do not say anything negative- at all- and be yourself. Try and find a way to highlight all your best attributes as well as possible in each question they ask. They will be taking notes which they will use to summarise everyone at a later date. If you can have some killer points for them to write down this will help you when they come to reviewing the interviewee’s. Dropping an email to thank them for their time, and letting them know how you thought the interview went never hurts, keep it to 3 or 4 lines and you may just sway their minds if you are equally placed to get the job with another person.
I didn’t get the first job I went for interview to and am now thinking this was due to over enthusiasm for the role they were offering. I dont think they believed me, slightly unfair in my opinion, but it was good practice for the next interview for which I got the job. I kept professional throughout this next interview and didnt allow myself to get as relaxed as I was in the first one.
If you dont get the job, put it down to experience.
Since they told you you will only have 30minutes to prepare the interview I cant see it holding much weight compared to your answers to the questions they have set already. Hopefully they will be some of the ones on here, or easier.
thanks M!
I am thinking they probably purposely only give you all the information 30 mins before so you have to get it done quickly. I
did try to snoop out more information off the recruiter who phoned me but he was very cagey yet implied it would be job related when I probed him.
Strange thing is …it is an interview with no visual aids apparently. seems more like a briefing or speech to me.
it is not a technical role by the way it is public sector Border and Immigration
I had a question I was asked in an interview which was: Who are you?
I suppose that’s similar to #1, but I was a little stumped. I don’t have much experience in interviews, so I was hoping for some more in depth tips on how to answer #1 and the other question I posted.

One of the question i faced in the interview was..
Tell me an instance when you have shown a quality of leadership?
and why do you think others were not able to do that?
I think this should make to the to 50 list.
I think that this is a great site to consider in every interview!
I have used this Q&A for a interview I had mid Dec. for a senior job.
Actually I get told that I was considered to be in the final round, but the company could not make an offer while the company policy says that at least 2 candidates need to be in the loop.
Needless to say that I am bit confused and disappointed..since the information was shared with me beg. of January.
The feedback was then, that the HR people will go quickly through a 2nd round of getting CV´s and closing of the process by latest mid Feb. They repeatatly said how much they appreciated me.
I am now in a phase of no communication and asked actually Friday last week the HR manager to have a quick chat about the current status quo. Was tough getting here..so she committed to call me Mon-Tue. Actually I have not received a call so far.
I am a bit unsure how and what to do with that kind of situation…
My current thinking is to tell them that I need to make now a decision and want this close off within the next 1-2 weeks latest.. Not sure whether the feedback can be then, well, thats to short for us….
Any recommendation on what to do and what not to do?
Thx
Ralf

I was just recently called for an opportunity to interview with the DA’s office as a legal assistant. The legal field is the place I’ve always wanted to work for and I’m really excited about it. The thing is that the day before I was hired by another company in the mortgage industry which pays less but is a sure thing. I don’t know what is the right thing to do, because I really want to work for the DA’s office but I don’t know if I should tell the company that hired me. I don’t have an interview date yet with the D.A, so I don’t know the outcome of the interview. HELP
On the question, “What is your greatest weakness” I have a good answer that has gotten me through this part with little problem.
My greatest weakness is the way I ask questions. I ask them to learn how something is done because I feel that there are more than one way generally to do something. I really like to learn from others. I never ask a question to belittle someone but to learn a different and possibly a better way to do a particular task. The weakness lies in the fact that I am sometimes perceived as challenging they way someone does that task.
I have softened this up significantly in over the past few years by qualifying the question with a statement that the way you did that task was amazing. I have never seen it done that way. Can you help me understand the process you went through to accomplish that.
It puts the fear that I am trying to make them look bad to rest and the individual generally opens up and will share their process with me and I have prevented a potentially uncomfortable situation.

Please answer this question
This post is amazing…to put it bluntly. It answered multiple questions that I had. I’ve never stumbled across a website that was so helpful! Thank you to whoever created this list!!! =]
Can someone help with these questions, please!
1) What do you consider to be your greatest achievement either in the workplace or in your personal life?
2) What do you hope to achieve in the future?
Can someone tell me what would be a good answer when they ask you: How do you deal with stressful situations at work?
Thanks
the good answer is
“i deal with great care”
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH THIS HELPED ME GET AN “A” ON MY PROJECT WHOEVER DID THIS I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!1
I got this site very helpful to me…Thanks for all for your contribution…
if hr asks why are we select you
Or another one that seems absolutely innofensive but is a tricky one disguised!
“when are you ready to start working?”
Never answer NOW cuz HR will get the indication that you are desperate to work! Let them beleive that you have add other offers and your life is not depending on the job they are offering you. Best answer if you are currently unemployed is “1 week”.
This is just another example of questions wich HR people expect you to answer “by the book”.
Can someone help with these questions, please!
1) where do want to see in five years in our organization?
2) what salary you will take?

if they ask, “what salary you will take?” reply back and ask them what salary did the person have who previously held this position.
just tell them that you are very motivated about this position and with your skills and experience, you feel that you can make a difference.

I want to ask from you guys “is it good to sit and wait for the candidate for interview or not”
There are a lot of answers here that seem to be about “snowing” the interviewer. Not necessarily a good idea. Assuming a decent job market, you _will_ find a job. You want to find the right one. If something isn’t going to fit, it’s a lot better to find it out in the interview. And if they find you are the same person as the one you presented in the interview, that likely to be a lot better for your prospects at the company.

I learned a lot from this website. I had second interview with a big oil field services company and after two weeks, I got an email yesterday that I have been selected. Second interview was a whole day event. First all the candidates presented their work through powerpoint. The intervie team asks you question. Then we had presentation from HR about the company and benefits. then lunch and then all the interview started. I had 3 interview for 3 hours straight. Well, This site prepared me for the behavior interview and i was able to ace it without any problem. Thanks guys, you all are great.

What should I answer when the interviewer asked ‘why should i pay you more since your previous job wage is lower?’
(the company is pay by hours..eg: their company is paying $8/hour to each workers and my previous job is paying $6/hour)
Im so nervous for this interview at a local movie theater and hope that anyone can give any advice for a 15 year old with only work experience with oddjobs!!! quick the int is in 30 mins!!!!
Interviews are stressful times and even a well rehearsed script can fail if the interviewee is too nervous to remember it, there is also the fact that most of the time no matter how well prepared you are there are always a handful of questions you never thought about that the interviewer is bound to ask you.
great blog ^^
i think that this is a very good blog. It has helped me with my english.
i’m attending an accountancy school in milan, and i’m writing an application letter.

What causes you stress? Who do you manage your stress?
I have an interview tomorrow!
this is a king blog. i think the most important point to be borne in mind while attending an interview is to be YOURSELF. Advice is OK but do not let the tips dictate you but only help you in presenting you in better, brighter light.
HAVE TALENT. BE NATURAL. HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR. DRESS WELL. LOOK NEAT. SMILE.
With these you could win over most of the CEOs.

[…] How to answer 23 of the most common interview questions Common job interview questions 50 Common Interview Q&A […]
Great set of questions. Always good to get a refresher when you are getting ready for an interview. And, yes, some of these questions were asked. It is always good to be prepared. It is stressful enough that you are being drilled with questions. It is always good to go through the questions and think about the answers to give. Obviously these answers should be related to your past jobs and not rehearsed. I passed this site to my other friends.
Great question bank.I had 2 interviews in 2 days and got both jobs.Biggest decision is choosing right job! Although only some of the questions were used in the interview it did give me an insight into what type of questions may be asked and direction HR is heading in thus giving me more confidence prior to the interview.Good tool

Hi
I resigned from my job because it had a hostile working enviromemnt.
My question is, if I go to a job interview how do I approach this issue if asked about: why I left previous job?
I do not want to be negative in my answer.
sarah
if it was me i wouldnt tell them the real reason why you left the job.
Just inform them you felt there were no further opportunities for you within that company, so decided to resign…to take a short career brake for instance and spend some time with the family and then re-focus your career.
just what I would do I think. avoid negatives, but if you cant…make sure you have overcome the negative with a positive
sarah
take note of question 2)
I have an interview on Thursday and was told there will be given a situation to respond to orally and a different situation to respond to in writting. Orally, should not be a problem. I can read people pretty well and I come across confident. It is the written portion. My writing skills are my greatest weakness. (I would never tell them so!) Any suggestions?
how to answer to a job interview it’s hard for me to express through english language
I did once answer the weakness question with “do you want me to tell you that my biggest weakness is that I like to complete my work no matter how late in the day it is, or another lie? I’ve got one on helping colleagues if you want?”
I got the job as I don’t think they’d ever had anyone throw it back in their face. Sure enough the job sucked so I moved on six months later.
I suppose when I get asked that again I’ll just refer them to my references..
Great great page you have here. I read this, tomorrow I have an interview in Volvo for a design position in Sweden. I hope for the best for you all (and myself also :D)

DRESS is a huge part of an interview. First impressions are very important when walking into that room. The Employer will make his first decision by seeing how you are dressed. You better learn how to tie a tie, and choose one your very best suits. If you come into that interview with grungy shirt and jeans. You label yourself as a slob.
Please dress your very best. and don’t worry, you’ll do awesome!
Erin,
I agree greatly with you. For your employer to even notice you, you m ust dress your best. As you shop around, shop at home, or shop online, you really need to think before you buy those jeans that flop down and show your but crack (EEEK!!) Employers hate seeing things like that.
Hi guys help please,
I was told to prepare the following three questions for the interview next wednsday. what they are looking for and what examples i shoud give;
1. tell me about a time when you utillised your knowledge of another person’s point of view in order to communicate with them more effectively?
2. tell me about the last time that you leveraged one of your external relationships in order to accomplish a business related goal?
3.staying abreast of current developments in your professional field can be chanllenging. describe what you have done to stay informed?
(what was the opportunity you identified, what actin did you take and what was the outcome), how did you assess its effectiveness?
Thanks for any comments,
sir

I am going for a job interview with a local School Board does anyone have any ideas of the kind of questions they might be asking. It has been almost 15 years since I have gone through the process of a job interview. Any help
Here are some more example of good interview ? I have no recommendation on how to answer these questions except be positive and try to add figures ex: successfully fund raised $1500 in a two period for a ‘blank’ Drive.
20. Tell me about a time when …
you contributed to the team
you had conflict with a co-worker
you worked independently
you helped resolve a dispute between others.
I always have problems with questions like these in interview because of the stress make my mind go blank. These are most definitely question you need to prepare for
i love the cooment and suggestion here.well i must say this is a pure luck.no matter how much prepare you are if the thiings are decided before then forget about it.referral i hate this thing.the employer is looking every single thing in a person how come it is possible.
the need to work on .they are on hot seat and get advantage of that.
hola
sir this article is very-2 helpful for us as a student. but as i m aoil and gas sector student try to give some q&a on oil & gas sector
thank you
I guess the technical sector has a different approach to interview preparation. I have been in the computer science field for quite a while and what I’ve noticed is that the interview questions here are almost always technical.
Thus, questions like “Tell me about yourself” etc almost never figure in a routine interview. Infact many companies instruct the interviewer to ask as little as possible about the candidate.
This information has been *such* a help…thank you all!!
Agree…a huge help!
Hey Sarah,
Here’s the negative: The work environment was hostile, so I resigned.
Here’s a positive approach: I realized there were certain barriers to my advancement in the previous position, and I tried several approaches to resolving them, but in the end I felt it would be more productive for me to consider a new position instead.
In other words, every solution has a problem at its root, and you can keep the solutions even when the problem is solved. Your next employer wants the solutions…
i think in regards to the what is ur greatest weakness is to say that “i am a perfectionist. and that if anything is just a tad bit off it HAS to be fixed
I’m trying to get an internship position at an engineering company. Being comfortable while working with other team members is very important to most engineering companies.
So, on an engineering interview, what is the best way to approach to the following questions?
1) What is your greatest weakness? (it almost seems like u have to be perfect in everything for an engineering position)
2) What is your 5-year (or future) plans? (i’m still in my 3rd year of engineering, is there a good way of saying i’m doing internship to find out exactly what i wanna become?)
BOSS BOSS BOSS
One time I was asked “What is your greatest weakness” and I could not come up with one answer that I thought was worth stating and so, I simply said, How about that I don’t recognize having any. It brought a simle to their faces and it was definitely the truth.
I have my final interview for Toyota Canadas new plant coming up..any suggestions to prepare??. They have an incredible hiring process, 7 steps..been in the process since sept. 06. This will be my 4th assessment.
Im going into a competition , it will base who has the best interviewing skills, iv been searching the whole web for some answers to recently asked interviewing questions, if any ideas or more info. plz tell me. even if you have any good sites to find it on i could use all the help i can get. the cometition is april 17-18 so in less than a month hurry plz i need answers and fast.

hi there! i’m a fresh graduate of a 4 year business related course in one of the most prestigious schools in the philippines. when i was on my last semester before graduation, i applied as an erep of a call center in the city, the question “what is your weaknesses?” really shocked me…after seconds under shock, i confidently answered ” my weakness is that sometimes i tend to be workaholic”. and guess what? i was hired. we should remember that the answers the interviewer wants to hear from us is the ones that will benefit the company.
hi
I am being considered for another job within the same company I work for, and I have to fill out some Q & A’s pre-interview. The one that is getting me is “How do you organize your email account?”

Hey, wondering if this is a good answer for the weakness question…
My weakness is that coming out of college I am not acclimated to the proper business vocabulary and I tend to be fairly abrupt and sometimes too honest.
Hello,
I’m about to have a second phone interview with the same company. My question is; Is anyone familar with a structured phone interview that is “Talent-Based” and was explained to me by one of the managers as a interview technique that is supposedly capable of extracting the “IT” quality regardless of the what your actual answers are? I believe the coin the phrase of the “Talent-Plus” strategy!
Thank you for you input! George

I have a banking interview next week please help
hi,
I have a job but not satisfied with the salaery so I’m applying for jobs. I had an interview where I’ve been asked ‘what salary you have at the moment?’ What should I say about it? cause I thinks it’s a little tricky so that they will know what sallary I have, etc..
Cool
It’s funny to read all this. As someone who was educated as part of one of the best University co-op programs in the world and has since interviewed hundreds of developers and testers for various positions it’s definitely enlightening to see what people discuss on the other side of the table.
Re: Salary. If you give a range, the only number the interviewer remembers is the lower number. 50k to 60k = 48k, 50k if you give them grief over it. This is one area where you have very little leverage. The company already knows EXACTLY how much they can spend and so long as your lower number fits in, that’s all they care about.
Re: Greatest Weakness. Find a clever way to refuse to answer the question, but provide useful information to the interviewer in its place – and show that you can THINK! This is the most rediculous question ever.
Also, if you’re asked a very specific technical question you’d best know the answer, especially if you’re right out of school. If you had just spent the greater part of 4 years learning something and you’ve already purged all knowledge of it, learn to lie very well, or you’re screwed. There are a 100 of others just like you who will have the correct answer in their back pocket.
There’s always a trick question or two. Best advice: Ask yourself, “Why are they asking me this?”. It’s never just to be an ass. The interviewer might be a moron, but the questions are never asked just to fill time. If you can figure out why they’re asking the question, the answers will become more obvious.
I have a job interview tomorrow, very nervous
Can anyone send me the answers for all 50 questions, please help!!
Can you tell if an interviewer doesn’t like you no matter how good you try to represent your personality and skills? I have a little bit of accent when I speak English. I had an interview 2 days ago and it went very well to my opinion. I was interviewed by two persons. the first one (younger) didn’t seem so friendly and had sort of a bitter personality and still I’ve answered the questions the same way that I did to my next interviewer. The next one was so friendly and made me so comfortable answering the questions. things like “it’s good to have someone with your abilities here or you’re in the right place for the growth since that’s what you’re looking for†were the comments I’ve received from her.
They had sent me the wrong job description before the interview which my second interviewer corrected and gave me the right one. and then the computer failed to save my test that I was asked to perform. I requested to reset the test and said that I wouldn’t mind to do it again. they tried but the computer failed and didn’t work at all. They said the test wasn’t necessary anyway and I assured them that I was very good at the test and they said that they know that because my experience in my previous jobs shows that. I walked out happy thinking that I’ve got the job.
Guess what! I received a rejection/indecision letter from my first interviewer in less than 24 hours. 😮 considering that she was the one who had sent me the wrong job description and couldn’t fix the computer for me to perform the tests required, that was a speedy rejection letter she managed to send me in no time.
So disappointed and am trying to write back to her and ask her the reason why she didn’t consider me for the position. Well I remember I’ve had a few awkward silent moments when asked the same questions repeatedly thinking that I had to come up with different answers if my first answers weren’t convincing enough. Could that be the case or could it be a case of discrimination?
Any adivce would be appreciated.
am attending a teaching interview tomorrow. What should I Expect?
to learn!!
hi! i was so amazed reading this blog! And really, this could be a big help to everyone who’s looking for a job that wants to learn more and more about job interviews! with my case, well i admit that it helps me too! Actually, I’ve experienced an interview before with my last job, and its not that hard. All you really have to do is to wear that SMILE once you enter the door and show some enthusiasm while talking to the interviewer and then.. everything will follow.. Just be confident and be urself! Take it from me.. 😉
I don’t know if this post is still “alive” but I’m in that horrible stage where I’ve been shortlisted with great companies but can’t seem to close the deal. I’m on a 2nd interview with the same manager, first I did an hour long phone interview & now I’m going to do a in-person interview. My problem is that he’s new to the company too so he doesn’t know his background, the position, and company & the product strategy that thoroughly, so I don’t know what questions to ask him at the end of my interview? What else will there be to talk to ask the prospective manager?
I’m interviewing for software sales.
OMG INTERVIEW TODAY IM GUNNA BLANK!! THEY ARE SO HARD YOU GUYS OUT OF 70 interviews the average person will get 1 job. SO MOST LIKELY IF ITS UR FIRST INTERVIEW UR GUNNA FAIL HARD CORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
true!!
Just few weeks remains b4 i complete my first degree. i found it as a miracle b’cause always i was asking my self ‘how shall i tackle interview problems’. This blog is very important because it made me to have confidence. WOW! Keep it up.
The blog is a mirror for pre-employed workers. It enhances self-confidence and prepares one to get employment. I admire it in many ways, 1st the content gives one insight even for answering other questions out of the listed ones.
Recently, I’ve had some pretty good interviews. By pretty good I mean that the feedback I’ve gotten from employers has been “good fit”, “good person to work with”, etc. What I’m not getting though is the job! In analyzing what’s going wrong, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need a better way to respond to questions that I’m not sure of what the answer is or I downright don’t know. I’m thinking that if I’m asked something and the answer doesn’t come immediately, I should come off confidently rather get flustered, sweaty, etc. I’m just not sure the best way to do that.
I am security gaurd,know I go on some campus police.I have one yaer security expriance also my gob location is that compus.My day to day superviseres are campus police but my campany is security campany.know they resive my application and i will be interviwe nexst day than what is my interviwe qustions and my answer? please tell me some……THANK YOU.
May I ask some questions on that 50 common interviewing questions. I mean that some questions that you can ask them about the salary, did I get the job, or when they are asking you a questions with highly big definitions can you ask if they can explain it to them?
Sincerely,
Alina A. Wikky
thanks alote about there adivices
My best advice… Go into the interview with the mindset that you already have the job and are ready to get started. Stay positive, and be confident but a bit subdued–not overconfident unless its a sales job. Pause before you answer, and if you find you are running your mouth… cut yourself short, and say you tend to do that when you are excited and laugh (for real…not nervous!). I do this all the time, it breaks the atmosphere but ultimately the interviewer WANTS you talking. It makes it easier, so slam some capachino beforehand.
When the chance arises to ask questions about the job functions. Don’t ask general stuff, ask about some real specific day-to-day work. Then say “Oh, I love that software program… I can get you up and running in no time.” You want to really wow? Mention a book, website, or study material you’ve done on your own related to the job. Simply saying “I’m a fast learner” in an interview with me is instant thumbs down.
I’m about to interview someone right now actually… and I will not be asking any of the above questions. I cant stand hearing cliche answers to cliche questions.
I have a job interview tomorrow, very nervous
Can anyone send me the answers for all 50 questions, please help!!
A quick peice of advice to all of you interviewers out there……go to every single job interview that you possibly can! Apply at any place of business remotely relating to what you really want in a career. This way, you learn how to not be so nervous, because frankly, you don’t care if you get the job, and it will help you practice with real people conducting real interviews. I did this over the course of 3 or 4 months, and was mildly interested in some of the positions, but there wasn’t going to be some big loss if I didn’t get an offer. Also, when offered a second interview or an offer, let them know that another offer came up and you are going to take it (this way you don’t waste too much of anyones time!) Most companies interview a bunch of people during their first round and then cut it down for then second and third interviews. Trust me, if you haven’t interviewed very much or if you are a new college grad….this is the best advise you can be given. You will learn more about yourself and what you really want in a career, which will then make you SO MUCH more comfortable when that whale of a job comes along!! Thanks!
Oops! Sorry about some of the spelling errors…I am working very quickly today!!
🙂
what will i answer for this question ,how much salary you are expecting..?
Tomorrow i have a job interview please reply soon…
Has anyone have sample answers for the top 50?
If so please mail me, Thanks Piush
I’m an interviewer and here’s what I’m looking for: THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. A person can be smart and skillful but not motivated. Try focusing on that. I’ve interviewed a number of times and, in time, learned to interview the business. When I figured out how important that was (Are these the kind of PEOPLE that I would enjoy being in the trenches with? Will I grow and be challenged? Will I have to be concerned about my treatment here a year from now?
I would like for what the interviewer is looking for when they ask this question….
What would you do if you was sitting next to someone who you overheard yelling at a customer on the phone and then slamming the phone down? Would you notify your supervisor?
OR
A simular question might be..
What would you do if you noticed someone using the internet …
or
taking something home that didn’t belong to them.
I have gotten this type of question the last 3 or 4 interviews and I still don’t know if they are looking for someone that can try to handle the situation by themselves or a tattle tail for the company.. or what..
Can anyone tell me the proper response?
I normally say… Well, I would advise the person I over heard the foul langange, or noticed them using the internet etc.. and thought that was proper for a workplace…. and let it go at that.. then if it became a continual problem then I would in all probablily take it to management.
Would you say that sounds like a proper response?
I got laid off a day ago and found this blog. It’s a true treasure trove!
BTW — Is anyone else supremely bothered by the lack of the ability of native English speakers to accurately use English? I simply can’t believe the spelling and grammar errors of people with English as their first language, some of them obviously well educated. Thank god they didn’t have to type their response to get their job! Oy!
“Nuts” to #57: “I can also tell if you’re going to lie to me, just by watching your eyes.”
Bullshit. No you can’t. I can fool you every time. The question is, “Why would I want to lie?” The more genuine you are, the more things will work in your favor. (I’ve trademarked “genuine” by the way. You can’t use it to “describe yourself in one word.” — What an absolutely inane thing to ask someone to do!!)
Back to lying. Face it. If you lie (and I’ve heard some whoppers!) you set yourself up for all sorts of bad ju-ju. Not just at the potential job, but virtually everywhere in your life. Think of it:
So you con your way into getting this shitty job that brings in mediocre or decent money — and you tolerate or hate the work and the people, but you’re “doing your time”, etc.
At some point, you’ll remind yourself that — at the end of the day — you’re a con. Life is too short to live like this. It will poison your brain and infect every area of your life. Instead, frame it as “This is me! I can do a little monkey dance if you want me to, but this is who I am. I’m bright but teachable. Hard core when I need to be. And I don’t take myself — or you, for that matter — too seriously. Nobody gets outta this thing called life alive.”
Listen to what Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pixar, had to say at a commencement speech at Stanford University, June 12, 2005: “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.â€
I love his advice, “Follow your heart.†I also love the advice of going on plenty of interviews for practice. There’s no “trick” to this sizable feat of landing a job, other than being prepared for the ringers the interviewers sometimes throw at you and having a genuine interest in the company. You can read this excellent blog for approaches that ring true to you.
But don’t kid yourself. If you’re not ‘following your heart’ you’ll never be happy in any job.
Tell yourself, “I’ve had enough ‘miserable.’ I deserve ‘happy.'”
And you know what?
You do.
this is excellent advice!!
I recently went for an Interview with one of the world’s best investment banker for a role in Finance and was thru past the VP hands down. But the APAC CFO asked me a couple of questions and I lost the opportunity. Quite simple questions, but I was just not able to answer them then, though I had practised well.
1. What is your goal in life or say, where do you want to be 5 years from now. (I said my career never went the way I planned it to be, though I have taken baby steps carefully to reach where I am. Well…5 years, may be not, but definitely by say 10 years from now, I intend to be the CFO, till that time I am working on getting the required skills)
2. What has been your areas of improvement as per your Manager (Mmmmm….I think the Manager also wanted me to focus on product knowledge and not only Finance)
3. What areas you think you are good at (Well….I think I do not think one can be good at one thing consistently and at all times, we are all human, but on a given day, I think I am good at execution and follow ups – very stupid answer I knew I lost it there)
4. Between two qualifications (CA & CS), which one do you prefer and why? (I did CS because of my love for law and compliance. Even in my normal financial work, I would look for something in compliance. I have been fortunate enough to work on both the roles so far at all times. So something that offers me both would excite me – This was another stupid answer, as I knew the position did not offer anything in compliance for me.)
5. Do you have any questions. (Well….I think the VP has answered all that I wanted to know. Thank you for asking me this).
I knew I lost it and I did.

hi
How are u ? Just wanted to say hai.
HI! Guys I m Nilesh r pal , working with Idea Inbound Call centers . I have started my job with my third years college I think that education is very much important but there must be some of other activitis you need to know because when you come out in professional field after completing your education it will take great help for U because education learns you a theory but experience of any field learns you how to work in between the unknown people DIFFERENT AND CRITICAL situations , how to show your work that could come out side from others how to show your dedication to the work and get the PPROMOTIONS DESIGNATIONS and many more. Always try to be motivate and think POSITIVE in any situation try to avoid the peoples who try to make U DEMOTIVATE because they r your hiden enemis just think your goals and try to be a professionl you will definetly get the success and U can say confidently ” I GET WHAT I WANT”.

Thank you so much for the blog. I had a phone interveiw today and most of the questions started with “Tell me about a time when”. I suggest to anyone getting ready for an interveiw to have many scenarios ready about times they went above and beyond or had difficulty at their most recent job. Interveiwers want to know about a problem you had and how you resolved it.
Also the Question “Do you have any questions for me” – I replied – “Could you maybe tell me a couple things you like about working for your company” I think that was a great tip I found on this blog because I think it lead into a very good conversation I had with my interveiwer. He was very forthcoming and genuinely appreciated my interest.
Thanks Again for the help.
Could anyone help me about the salary question? I know the market value of my current position. Which is 25% higher than my current salary. My interviewer knows about this. The job description exactly matches with my current job description. Does it matter that my interviewer knows about my current salary in asking the market value.
thanks,
hiiiiiiiii khushi,
this question is very useful to you..

This blog was exactly what I needed. I haven’t interviewed in over eighteen years and was clueless on what to expect. Looks like it hasn’t really changed much in all that time, but thanks for the input and suggestions. I’m going in tomorrow for my first interview, hopefully with enough confidence, life experience and a great attitude they’ll see a glimpse of what I have to offer.
Thanks!
hi i gave an interview a couple of weeks back and was told I’ll be informed of their decision by the end of the month, however they didn’t call me so I called to ask them and they said they still haven’t reached on any conclusion and I was still on their list of potential candidates. Another week has passed and still no word from them? What should I do? Should I call them again or email them or just wait for them to contact me? By the way the questions really helped me be prepared for the interview.
nce blog….it helps alot.thank u

Why did you leave you last company when you made good money? Also ties into are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
I am a over a Hunderd thousand number during my last position and left for health reason. My delima is do I tell the true about my health or some story about how I made to much money. What is the best why to handle this question without lose the opportunity because no one what to hire someone that has been sick?
You can tell them that you left because you realized that money did not equal happiness, and that you decided that it was time to do something that you really loved, and do something that you could be really proud of. Tie it in with the position that you are interviewing for, and let them know that you researched their company, and that there are certain things about their company that you find that match your goals, and then tie that in with what your life goals are as well. I would not focus on your health issues, as it is no one else’s business but your own. A less stressful job will do wonders for your health, especially if it is doing something that you absolutely love to do. 🙂 Then it your job would not really be considered “work”, would it?
it is very good for us.
This is a good website. Give good suggestion.
Thanks to this website, i went thru’ the interview.
Thanks alot !!

This is a very interesting post with some good points and comments. Remember also about HOW to answer interview questions as well as WHAT you say. Using positive, persuasive language is a real winner with me and not enough applicants use this to their advantage.
They focus on what answers to give but not the langauge used which, I think, is just as important.

Q >>How are you going to manage a team of 10+ for the first time ?
A >>The answer to this fundamental question is found in the Bhagavad Gîta which repeatedly proclaims that ‘you try to manage yourself’. The reason is that unless the Person himself reaches a level of excellence and effectiveness that sets him apart from the others whom he is managing or leading, he will be merely a face in the crowd and not an achiever.Lead by example.
Again, a recurring question and a common one in most interview :
Q>> How do you motivate yourself to be consistent on a daily basis especially when work gets routine ?
A >> Simple —ATTITUDE.The disinterested work finds expression in devotion, surrender and equipoise. The former two are psychological while the third is the strong-willed determination to keep the mind free of and above the dualistic pulls of daily experiences. It is in this light that the counsel ‘yogah karmasu kausalam’ should be understood. Kausalam means skill or method or technique of work which is an indispensable component of work ethic. Skill in performance of one’s duty consists in maintaining the evenness of mind in success and failure because the calm mind in failure will lead him to deeper introspection and see clearly where the process went wrong so that corrective steps could be taken to avoid such shortcomings in future. Although the answer is simple..You need to work without emotions,without attachment and without the worry of results (not that you should forget your goals,NO) but the GOAL is something which will materialise in Future,right NOW the job would be to concentrate fully in your job, if you do this diligently,the GOAL will take care of itself.
I recently had an interview, and im not sure how i did. I answered the questions but the interview seemed short. not sure if thats a good thing or not. i know i didn’t say anything to mess up this interview like i did one.

I am sick and tired of all this media around me. It is annoying my family and I to jeebers! I love the troops, I support them – regardless or not if I support the war. Oil drilling doesn’t sound that bad because I am sick of relying on scary oil mongers who live in the middle east, fly their gold plated jets, and live in their 15billion dollar mansions. I think its time for this world rid itself of corruption and put on In-corruption! Politicians should just tell the truth, it makes every person feel more inclined to vote for them. Apologizing for mistakes isn’t that bad either, because we are all human and we all make mistakes. I love America and it saddens me to see the direction we are heading with all the insults, fake press, and senseless bickering.
Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks for thsese tips they are very helpful and informative!!!!

For the weakness question, always mention that you are improving on something for example “I need to improve myself on Microsoft Powerpoint so I am taking courses and improving myself on it”
The first post above about the weaknesses I need to comment on. This is the absolute PERFECT answer to that question. I always say “interviews” and they ask why. I tell them “because I am unable to show my full potential in just an interview.” They usually laugh and it is quite an icebreaker as well. Try it, it completely throws them off guard!

Hi i recently moved to the US and have been applying for jobs.
I just stumble when a question like ” Describe your role in your previous company” …i know it needs to be precise but it really confuses me whether i should me talking to the interviewer about MY skills OR MY performance OR about my role in the project OR in general intro of my company and then my achievements?
Please help!
your role, what did you do. what did you support in the company. for instance if i worked for a news paper company and i was one of the paper boys who delivered the news papers to the houses and i got fired and had to find a new job. when i get to the interview of a new company and they ask me “describe your role in your previous company” i would say i was a paper boy for a news paper company, i delivered news papers from house to house. just tell them what your job was. i hope that helps a little.

Hi,
The site is full of questions – but not many answers ! May be the site needs updating – with a list of answers to all the questions posed and have not been answered. There are a quite a few “experts” trying to sell their wares – maybe they can post some answers instead of trying to sell them. Perhaps some kind hearted expert will take the time to answer the next 50 tough questions.

Thanks, Dan B, for defending perfectionists and those of a SUPER detail-oriented nature. I had major problems in college because of this; there simply was not enough time to do all the work as I had envisioned and stay sane. Now that I’m in the work force, I’m learning when it’s okay to “cut corners” and when I should really utilize my skills.
For question 26, you need to bery careful.
Just say something like “I get on well with all my colleagues, and it’s really difficult for me to find a reason to reject to work with someone. “

Yesi
wow . lol this is hard im going out for a job about next year lol
having an opportunity for an interview needs a lot of research
I find that in an interview that a smile and positive, honest answer will always get you across the line. Most jobs I’ve been for l have gotten, its only the mass interview jobs l don’t seem to fair to well, there inpersonal and too quick, like a cattle yard. So l stay away from those type of jobs. Its true go in believing this isn’t the job you really care for and it will relax you and this will shine through
now i try to sit an interview ,so thank for your web.
i am civil engg.
what kind of questinon can be asked by me in intow.
help
it will be going on
ram21engg@hotmail.com
reviewing the feedbacks on this website can help you figure out what you’re going to answer during the interview.you don’t really need to ask for the answers,just focus on what kind of job you are applying for and have the determination to get that job!
goodluck!
In my last interview for system support i was asked “How would you handle a angry users, who is swearing ??
Ok I have been in restaurant management for over 10 years. The last job I was at I was fired. I was in the position of Assistant General Manager, waiting for a new store to open where I would be a General Manager. I stood up to the General Manager who was yelling at me and talking unprofessionally to me. So I went in the back to call the District Manager and told him what happened. He said he would talk to the GM. Next time I saw him I was fired. So what should I say when asked about my previous job. I was also once let go a few years earlier for another job for being young and stupid and making comments to someone that were politically incorrect.
and the last question I have is how would I be able to turn my lack of job stablilty into a positive or at the very least not something that is negative.
This was very helpful! thank you for the interview advice.

Hi!
i have an interview today at Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel as an F&B attendant.i am still nervous.what should i do?!!it’s actually my 3rd application here and i don’t know how will i tell to the interviewer why i was never hired before???
i don’t know what i can respond when iam asked to summarize my achievements
I like this article. The Interview is a challenge for me. The jobs that I have been hired, I was able to actually do work relate to the position I was applying for. Other jobs that I just had the interview, I did not get even though my skills and knowledge were perfect for the position.

I’m having my FIRST REAL job interview tomorrow. Eek! LOL I’m a housewife and I’m getting a job to help support my family. I had no idea what to expect in the interview tomorrow but thanks to this blog, now I do! It really helped me. I have more self-confidence and I don’t feel so lost. Wish me luck tomorrow! 🙂
Great article!
I’m in the same situation as Sara #962, in a few minutes im off to my first job interview.. Im a bit nervous but as she said – im feeling self-confident.
Good luck to you all!
Re: the salary question, I agree completely never to answer the question with a number directly. Basic law of negotiating – they that put down the first number loses.
Here’s a little trick I like to use that is a carry over from my days in sales:
You: So what is the range for the position?
HR: It pays between 50,000 and 75,000.
You: …so…likely no more than 90,000 then?
HR: More like 85, but yes (oops!)…
Oldest trick in the book. When someone gives you their maximum, jack it up another 15-20 %, as they are likely still lowballing. People in Purchasing may be used to this trick, but HR people never see it coming – and you’ve just made salary negotiations a whole lot easier should you get to that stage. And, it also puts a quick end to the salary discussion as the HR person wants to quickly move on from their gaffe and try to re-establish control of the meeting.
Hi
I am applying for the internal job within my organization and i was told following are the question they might ask. can some one please tell me how and what to answer. thanks
2 – What would you do if a comitte member comes up to you and says the entire network is down ?
3 – If a “team†member is not pulling their weight on an assignment that is due in 3 days and you are the team lead how would you react ?
4 – Give an example of your leadership ?
5 – Give an example of how you persevered in a situation ?
6 – Give an example of something you do, that other people will start to do exactly the same as you because they think your idea
is very good ?
The dumbest question is “tell me about yourself”? I have submitted my resume already and we are having this conversation and you’re asking me that? Are you out of questions?

the question that annoys me most is “why should i hire you?” HELP!!!!
hello
how r u
whar r u doing now a days
I had the following question asked. Can I get some feedback. Thanks,
Describe a typical day where multi-tasking and being detail-oriented is essential to your success.
Hello!! how is everyone??
omg, i love this blog/site. well, i have an interview tomorrow with government position which i’ve always dreamed of. it’s with the local school district. now, i’ve noticed with government jobs, they get pretty detailed about salary, job descriptions, experience, benefits and so on. on almost all job postings for government, there is a salary bracket, for example $2500-$3500.
so my question is, 1.) at the interview, would they even mention salary expectations? and 2.) what questions do you think they might ask? it’s not a teacher position, it’s actually just a simple clerical/assistant position. any advice, tips and/or ideas would be great! thanks!
hi am dennis please help me on this question that i see it as a threat to my interview tommorow,…have you spotted a problem that no one else has.
hey dennis, that’s an easy one. they want to know if you’re detail-oriented, per sa. the answer would be something like…”at work, we deal with alot of cases (if you’re a lawyer, for example), there have been a few times where I would evaluate paperwork or forms and notice that certain forms are missing information and i bring it to attention to the appropriate staff member. it’s important that work leaves the office in completion and on time so that nothing gets delayed… blah, blah, blah.
one quick thing. i was just in an interview yesterday with the public works, and i noticed that they will give you questions, but as long as you just be very very comfortable, you’ll do fine. not too comfortable though. you just don’t want to sound rehearsed. at the interview, we just started to talk about alot of crazy stuff for about an hour, that had nothing to do about the interview at all. always pay attention to their facial expression… do they seem confused by your response? quickly offset it by finding something more professional (maybe?) or opposite (in a positive way) of what you said. and always look them in the eye when responding… always!!! you’re basically lying when you’re looking around the room when you talk, or just not at the interviewer. you honestly have to get used to interviews, it just takes time. and always send in a great thank you letter afterwards.
uhh….
next week i’m gonna be an interviewer and interviewee….
gimme some tips on how to answer the interview answer….ohhhh….
[…] The Accelerated Job Search by Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D, published by The Management Advantage, Inc.) August 19, 2006 Posted by bhuvans in Interview Q & A. […]
I’m Sara#962. I got the job! Hired on the spot after my interviews. I’ve been working for 3 weeks now and I LOVE IT. My co-workers are great and I love my boss. So happy I read this article before my interview. it helped me out a TON!
I Think it will really help to face my campus interviews. i was not knowing how to answer the questions like my strengths,weakness, how i myself want to be after 5 years and so on, but now i got clear idea, how to tackle it. and to prepare answers for this 50 questions. thank you very much.
Thanks for the advise. It really helped me land a job making over 60,000. It’s a great tool to have.
Great page, this really helped me bag my first proper job. If only to quell nerves regarding the more difficult questions.
987. stevie: Dont be surprised if they do ask about your salary expectations. If they do- dont sell yourself short. To ask for the low end of what they are offering might be seen that you are not sure of yourself. Ask for the maximum as they must be prepared to give it. They may counter with something like your previous experience so assure them you are the best candidate and you expect to be remunerated accordingly.
Best of luck,
Mike

The most commonly asked question is “How do you handle stress and pressure?”
The way to answer this is:
“Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive. “

I have had great luck recently with my answer to “What is your greatest weakness?”
I always say, “The Friday afternoon potluck – I usually eat too much!” It makes the interviewers laugh, and they have never returned to the question to ask it again.
However, I still am interviewing……must be a different question I got wrong.
ibiby, I think work in a bank, the most important think is honest. Can you prove it? Reference such as work as cashier before, some part time job that involve handling money.

Can someone tell me about the QSP test.
Response to Nattie (# 86) “Hi everyone — I’m going on an interview and my boss of course does not have a clue about this…but always at interviews and their forms they ask the question — can we contact ur previous employer…the first answer is of course (bc I dont have anything to hide and I know hes quite fond of me) but in the same respect if I dont get the job then my current supervisor will know and it wouldnt be a good situation. How would you handle this? Any help is appreciated.”
I would say something to the affect, I would not mind you contacting my employer upon consideration of hiring.
I guess this would mean, if you are interested in hiring me then by all means contact my supervisor but if not, don’t waiste the time and blow my cover.
Hey !!!!
This is really a good one! I started the reading at 11:00 pm and now it’s 3:00am WOWWWW.. it’s all because my interview tommorrow.
I hope I’ll get the job cause it’s been long time now since I left my old job before getting another one. I know it was a mistake but itwas really hard for me to handle all that pressure for not getting my pay check because of pay roll mistakes.
I would like to say that,that was very good responce.it is verry good for every one.when i read all question and answer it was very great for me…………………..

WoW! I am so glad that i was able to run in2 this blog! I have an interview tommorow!
My ADVICE 2 ALL:
Always be HONEST! Dont’t walk in2 the interview and try to sugar coat yourself, skills, and/or experience. Go in2 your interview and just RELAX! Make sure you have it instilled in your mind that ” I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE BEST PERSON FOR THIS POSITION” and last thing, Please Guys, don’t LIE, notice that when you start to make up thing, that you end up FREEZING, and the “UM’s” start to come out along with you answers getting knotted up! JUST BE YOURSELF GUYS and be 100%, well 90% REAL!
THANKS EVERYONE! KEEP THOSE GREAT Q&A’s Rolling!

Even if interviewers don’t know why they are asking the question they will recognise a gem or a fraud.
The only reason to hide the weakness is if you don’t have a solution.
Better figure out the truth and do something about it.
Oh.. there’s only so much you can prepare for interview questions. Sometimes you just have to accept that you’ll need to make your answer up on the spot!
wen la LULUTDIT. . . .
fuck it
IT IS AVERY USEFUL SITE SO PLEASE KEEP ON.
Its a great site.
its very much useful……
what would be the most common questions asked in the Restaurant industry, going for a interview.
what would be the most common questions asked in the MNCs, i am going for an interview.
what would I say to them, why i left previous job? its also a MNC,
i left the job becz of heavy pressure in sales.
Can I tackle this kind of questions?
i have an fuckin job interview tomorrow this shit is stressin me tha fuck out damn this shit is making me mad
Good job so far with this site. its amazing to how a two years old post keep on attracting comments.
Got an interview tomorow. does any body has an idea on what items a recruiter may be specifically screening in a sales manager interview? (Telecom Industry). all comments will be apreciated.
Rgds,
I had an interviw on Friday for a senior management IT Job. I can assure you that despite my good qualifications and all, this site contributed 80% ofthe questions that I was asked.
This morning I got a call from the company and they had offered me the Job. Thank you very much.
For Ladies, let the dress code for the interview be determined by the company you are targeting……A short skirt may make you lose a good offer it the company is too traditional So reserach before you blunder. Thanx
hi ra
Wow this is still up and getting new comments daily. Great!
Greatest weakness – if you don’t have a second language, that’s a great answer. Or if you do, that your vocubulary could be expanded. I saw another response about being weak during interviews – good answer!
I also remember to interview them before I leave. I want to know before they offer me a job if I truly want to work for them or embarrass myself by accepting the job and hating it within a week.
Remember people, you are selling your skills to them. You are now the Product. Google the company and news releases.
If you don’t go in there with questions about how they manage or do business, you’re too desperate and not thinking clearly. Make sure you ask questions about their expectations and management styles. You may realize that you won’t fit there. Turn the tables but be careful and don’t come across too agressive, just curious. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you for the time you took to put this together it has gone a long way in assisting me to secure my dream job

How do you answer a question if you were ask why you left your previous job? If you were fired, how would you respond to that? Do you be honest?
Can the previous company say why you were fired, if someone call them for references? And if they did say why you were fired is there a legel action you can take?
Post 1113, Tony, I would be honest, it’s very possible you did not get the right training or you learned a few lessons you were not aware of.
You could also say “for personal reasons”
Post 1114, Casper,
No, not legally, but some company employees will say something about you without the company knowing their employees said something negative.
You could always have a friend call the old company and act as though they are the comopany hiring you to see if something negative is being said about you.
Most large companies with state if you are a rehire or not and this will generally give the answer a employer is looking for. Asking if you woulr rehire this emplyee is a legal question.
I’m old enough to say that I don’t like office politics, or I say it’s my biggest weakness. Give an example where you were asked to do other work when you knew they needed it in a hurry. When you approached your supervior he made no secret that he didn’t like the other department, “so we’re only giving them what they deserve.”
So I left there.

Hi thank u i learn some thing

thanks=]
Tks for your nice post
What is the answer of the following questions:
1. why do you want to work for this company?
2. why do you think you would do well at this job?
3. why should we hire you?
4. what do i think if they choose me out of 10 people to work for us?
I have been in a business of my own for the past 15 years in the art field. I have recently been prompted by my wife to get into QA as I have. As I get closer to get ready to enter the job market, the questions that comes to my mind is that; ” What did you do in your last job? ”
If I show total irrelevance to the field I am entering I risk the chance of being hired. How do I answer this question? Anyone been in a similar situation?
Answer to 29. I am positive I have had some sort of conflict with a supervisor in the past, but I don’t tend to dwell on the past. I like to deal with issues with others head on and find a resolution that suits both of us. In most cases I have been succesful with this approach.
I have been told on more than one occassion that this is one of the best answers they have heard.
As far as compensation goes. SALARY.COM… Tell them what you want.
“Well, based on my current level of expertise as pertaining to the position, and given the current industry standard, I think between $xxx,xxx and $xxx,xxx would be fair”.
Make sure the low number is the minimum you will accept and the high number is 20% higher than you what want. Most employers will tell you a figure about 20% lower than what they are approved to offer.

Be honest but not incriminating. Something like. I was dimissed because of a miscommunication of proper time keeping procedures. I understand my supervisor was only doing what he/she thought was right at the time and I have learned something valuable from this situuation and am ready to move on.

how do you answer this question “How can u define a color red to a blind person?”..
I would make a query first, whether the person was born as a blind or got to be blind later for some some reason. If the person is born as a blind, then teaching him the concept of color or any specific color is pointless. This does not make any sense.
If he got blind later, then not only red, any color can be taught to him.

To Executive in Chicago – March 15, 2009 – Yes clarity is a very inportant thing especially when you describe things of a sensitive nature like quitting/dismissal or reasons for loong for a change from current employment. In your case, you could state that there were areas of weakness in my profile that I am aware of and have now identified and am sincierely working on. These seem to have come out as a glaring gap to my current employer because of which he/she believed that it was best we part ways and I was let go.Mention your other positives in the same vein. Things or work for which you were appreciated and do also give the reference of a peer/boss who can vouch for your good work. This should make things clear to the nterview panel and reflect your honesty
To 1137. Charul – March 12, 2009 – Charul, in your case, you must first be clear as to why you are entering employment (and into QA) after 15 years on your own in the arts’ field. Once this is ascertained (if not already done so), you can then create a functional resume and document sklls that you think will highlight why you should be considered for the QA position. This document, if carefully prepared, will ensure the potential employers attention and the question then posed at the interview will be more around work, your contribution and how your diverse background will be a bonus.
To 1136. Molebogeng – March 10, 2009
1. why do you want to work for this company?
State your own interest in the job profile that you have applied for and also your gathered knowledge about the company specialization as mentioned on their web site or brochure. (it is important to for you to do you background work on the organization)
2. why do you think you would do well at this job?
Speak about the similarities between your current job and this one or about your interest in this kind of job role. Speak about achievements in this kind of role or similar role in other organizations and what you bring to the table as a skill which this organization can benefit from.
3. why should we hire you?
Similar to number 2
4. what do i think if they choose me out of 10 people to work for us?
Similar to number 2. Always highlight the skills and achievements you have that the organization can use. Also, if you can, indicate your long term plans of sticking around and growing with the organization.
some more suggestions on “Do you have any questions?”
I have a phone interview Monday morning and I still am not sure about the weakness question? Any new ideas? How about- I tend not to think about weaknesses as I have always been one to focus on the positive side of things to be successful. Ideas anyone?
what motivates you?
The answer should be brief and impressive like challenge, achievement and recognition motivates me.
Here is a good website that I use.

Fantasticoooo Joboooo
Anyone have an example of a situational question and answer?
whats really hood?
The site it self looks like different interview situations and everyone approaching the questions and answering them differently. This is what exactly what happens. Depending upon the type of job, I feel if the answers should be moulded into a STAR- which is SITUATION from your work or life experience, the TASK, what ACTION you took and what was the RESULT. If each of the interview questions are prepared in the STAR mould, it makes it easy for the interviewer to understand and assess and interviewee to explain, and try to be as close to reality and the situations should be from your job which should be mentioned in the resume or life experience as or else copying bites.
There are too many interview questions on, weakness- I feel the purpose behind is that everyone has a weakness, so let them know of your weakness, but think of turning is around to your or company,s advantage. For example this was a new company and there was no one to help or rather it has an unstructured departmental set up and I could never get anyone to assist me. True, but this company taught me to be self managed and I shared this practise with everyone.
Hi everyone.. informations here was so helpfull. i am preparing for a phone interview. with an employer overseas.. I was able to take down some of the advices here.. Wish me good luck and start my new career..

To POST 1146:
Thanks for your response on this question. I am in a similar situation and have the hardest time with this question in interviews.
My supervisor (Director of HR) verbally told me it was okay to edit my own times because I did payroll and edited everyone’s times anyways. So when the controller tracked everyone’s times and found out mine was changed w/o written documentation, he busted out my boss and she kicked me under the bus saying it was my fault, not hers. Well, goes to show supervisors are supervisors first, friends second.
This is a good series of questions. I went on an interview at the flower company 1-800-Flowers and they actually asked about half of the questions from here. Thanks for the tips!

What’s your biggest weakness?
This question is bogus everyone knows that it is bogus. It is merely asked because it gives the Interviewer the illusion of control. If someone asks this question it is because their boss didn’t want to do the Interviews themselves. This question gives the rookie Interviewer the feeling that they have some control over the interview.
Anyone that actually conduct Interviews and ask this question, will always hide behind the charade of that they are asking this only to see how the person reacts/responds or that they wish to throw someone a curve. They are lying. If you are an Interviewer that asks this question, don’t pretend to be Savvy, no one is falling for it.
If an Interviewer asks this, it is a sign of weakness. They are not astute enough to gauge your answers to real questions. I have never, nor will I ever ask this question of an Interviewee. If an Interviewer must ask this question, then they should save this one for your previous Supervisor/Boss.
But since the topic above is, how do you answer this question? Then be honest and have an answer ready for this one. Be introspective, and find a response that is truthful, but not to the point that you feel uncomfortable about revealing said flaw.
You want to find a job that is well suited to you, as well as you to the right career or company. If someone asks you this question then it appears they have trouble finding professionals willing to ask the right questions, and maybe you don’t want to work for these same individuals.
I actually think better questions, as an Interviewer are…
What do you know about the job you have applied for?
What do you know about this organization?
It’s not a trick question. While I will find out if you know something or nothing about this job, it also gives me the opportunity then answer the question, so you can see what you are getting yourself into.
There are several phases of any selection process: The resume’, qualifications, experience, Interview, then Contact previous Boss.
To summarize: Bullshit question, however answer; truthfully, no Bullshit, be honest. Have answer locked and loaded.
When they get to the part about asking if you have questions, and they asked you this question, ask if they would be your primary Boss if you were hired. If they answer yes, then ask yourself if you would want to work for this person.
I have just given my 12th boards . i am about to appear for an interview for b tech in computer science . I am a bit tensed as its my frist interview . could u plz help me by telling me wat r the types of questions they would ask me

ahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!……………………………………………………………………..
hi, I’m Anne,This is a such a good set of questions. I went on an interview at one of the mobile phone company here in the Philippines. And they actually asked me some questions from here. But sad to say, i failed.. Before i got my interview, there is no one who gave me advise for what will i do for my first job interview. Even now I am scared because I don’t know what to do in my second interview if there is someone who will going to call me. I’m badly needed a job..:(
so many things to learn from these comments and questions/recommendations.
Thank you all of you. Great, great job. Tomorrow I’ll have a job interview and I only found you guys today. So… now I need to go and sleep, as at 10am MST, I have to be up and talking to the Director that will interview me for a IT Technical Support position.
Let’s rock’n roll people.
See you tomorrow, God willing! And I will keep you updated with the news. 🙂
lol the last part DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?
employee: YES SIR! AM I HIRED?? rofl
I have found this kind of question more practically under: “Yes,… when can I start working?” 🙂 The interviewers seemed to be very surprised by the unexpected question. 🙂 But yeah, this happened before, not at my current job interview. Well, anyway, I might address this question at the end of the today interview, if I won’t forget. I wanted to use it yesterday, but things went nice after 2-3 hours of interviewing. 🙂 See you later, alligator. 🙂
Looser… she copied the whole content from a site.!!!!!!!
Well… new updates: I got the first interview with the Director of the department and one of the top Engineers with the company. Today at 2pm I’ll go for the second one, to meet the others engineers. Wish me blessings… 🙂

Thanks a lot!! This will definately help lots of ppl trying for a new job !!

[…] 50 Common Interview Questions via Bhuvan’s blog […]
i am going for an interview on this morning and i hope this tips will helpful for me for getting the job..
Yeappyyyyyy… I got the job. It took forever for these guys to interview all of us. After all of us that interviewed with the Director and the AS’s engineers, they decided the the ONE was KinDn3sS…. yupppyyy… I got the job.
So now, I’m working as an IT Engineer. Thank you first to the God of Heavens, and I would like to thank you guys all that have posted all your feed backs on this site. Thank you to the owner of this site.
So questions they asked me, as I remember (I’m not going to post all technical questions as I’m sure nobody would like to know this):
1. where do you see yourself in the next 5 years;
2. what makes you think you’re better then other competitors;
3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, …, X (X = unknown) – technical questions;
4. What is the salary you’re looking for (Here I told them: As I’m sure you’re aware of, you know what the salary market is at this moment, especially in this economics times. I’m open for negotiation, and would rather allow you to bring up some numbers and we’ll figure it out something together. (Guess what, they gave me the same salary I got to the previous company – and yes, I’m very satisfied – thinking that due to these issues USA has, they will exponentially reduce my income).
5. Do you have questions? My answer: Yes – what is the management like – do you guys provide feedback to newbies and how often you review their performances; how would you rank your management when it’s about simple workers relationship with the mgmt team; … and I told them: I still have lots of questions, but I’ll rather refrain from posting them as I’m affraid I’ll get you tired. LOL. The director laughed, so did the other mgmt guys (there were 1 interviewer first, 2 interviewers thereafter, and 3 interviewers thereafter again). So yeah, 3 times they called me for the interview.
I want to mention something: Show the interviewer you don’t know anything, but you’re willing to learn. They asked me tech questions that I wasn’t aware of, and they were really ready to explain me what I “should have known” – and yes, they were happy – I saw that in their faces – when they explained me very happily what the resolutions supposely would have been there.
So yes… I got a job and today I’m already in the second week with them. Initially, I was supposed to start this week’s Monday, but they called me the week before cause they said they really need somebody asap. I was happy they got me, cause I was so bored with no job for 3-4 days. Thanks God, I got this job, and the Corporation I start working for is not a big one, but… it’s the best so far. People are really friendly and willing to share information like never before. I’ve been through many corporation, and all of them were like – people won’t want to talk to you being affraid you’ll steel their place. I’m not that kind of person, but… everyone has the right to think the way they want.
Love you all, and thank youuuuuuuuuu allllllllllllllllllllllllll again.
God richly bless you all… If you have questions, send me e-mail to kindn3ss@yahoo.com, and I’ll be happy posting more here on this site.
That’s a great list of questions. Very similar questions are brought up for pharmacy school and medical school interviews.
Study yourself, so you can formulate great answers!
What is your greatest weakness?
At my current job I am a shift-supervisor so I am responsible for giving the Team Members certain tasks to do while on their shift. My boss has told me that I need to work on delegating the work out more. She says that I have been there for so long and know how to do everything better and faster then everyone that sometimes I just do the whole checklist and don’t delegate the work out and it is essential for the other Team Members to do the work so they can gain skill and move up in the company. So whenever I am asked this question I simply reply “My old boss always told me I need to work on delegating, I try too hard to get everything done myself when I should be giving the Team Members tasks also.”
The “Are you a team player” question has to be one of the most useless questions in an interview. The whole notion of a team is such an outdated concept. Collaboration does not equal “team work”.
“Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude.”
That is complete hogwash. Doing one’s job is good evidence of your team attitude. It means that you are not a drag on the business or the ‘team’.
Another good question to prepare for is: what is your 30-60-90 day plan. This is also a good question to prepare for an interview as it encourages you to study the industry, competition, etc. and shows the employer you’ve given some thought as to how to make an impact.

I would add that – As you’ve indicated so well, there really is no magic formula to interviewing. I always figure that if you act like yourself and talk about the things that are meaningful to you, people will hire you based on those qualities. A position is more likely to make you happy if you got it because they like you, not because you made yourself seem like someone you’re not.
Pls give me a best answer for this..Why should we hire you? Thanks!
No. 39, answer with “never really had that problem”; I will never hire you.

I was devastated when I was terminated from my job issues with supervisor. It was a hostile environment.
How do I answer:
Why were you terminated without sounding like an incompetent employee?
Great post guys, wish I had traversed through this blog sometime last week before sitting for an interview with one of the many multinationals.
Damn, I must have failed 15 of the 20 questions I was asked.
This has been helpful, thanks
:o)
Thanx for the useful info
I have on site interview on august 31st will let you guys know details soon!
Hi
I would like to ask one thing about this discussion??? What all questions can a candidate can ask the interviewer to know the state of his/her about him/her. In other words he/she is select or not. Second question, most of the interviewers never disclose the salary, in this situation what questions can be asked to get the information about the brackets for that particular position. In general candidate can’t ask straight questions? What all questions a candidate should ask to the interviewer???
Please do reply 🙂
hey
i was asked to act lyk a dog and bark during the interview…
wat shld i do in such a case???
Thanks guys. Have an interview 2moro and most of my questions have been catered to!
Interview went well, questions I was asked..
1. where would you see yourself after 5 years from now?
2. your strengths?
3. why should we hire you?
@ Lina
Depends on what field or person interviewing you,
My Views-
if HR: ask him how he enjoys working with xyz company and why he would recommend to work with xyz
if technical: ask questions related to their field
I have major problem in answering the following question?
please help.
1.What aspects of company’s Mission and Core Values are in alignment with your own goals and values and how will you realize them in company?
well the company’s mission is defined as Sustain IT’s position as one of India’s most valuable corporations through world class performance, creating growing value for the Indian economy and the Company’s stakeholders

Job interviews are a joke
[…] https://bhuvans.wordpress.com/2006/08/19/50-common-interview-qa/ a few seconds ago from web […]
I had an interview today for an admin job in the fire & rescue service. I was asked around 8 or 9 questions. The ones I remember are:
What have you done to prepare for this interview?
What qualities do you think are important for this role?
What personal abilities do you think you could improve on?
Give me an example of a time when you made a mistake, how did you overcome it and what did you learn?
What is your greatest achievement?
What do you understand about diversity in the workplace?
I asked a couple of questions at the end, but I think the one they were most impressed with was ” would it be ok if I had a look at where I might be working?”
This article has helped me a lot. Fingers crossed to get the job, I find out tomorrow!!!
fuck you
Hi,
Dont you think the interview is absolutely idiotic. Indians are very good in following foreign culture without knowing the reason. It is foolishness to think if somebody can speak good english, he is best fit for the job.
All the above questions can be answered easily in your mother tongue or language which you are fluent in and we like fools are trying to answer in english and create problems for ourself and think we are not fit for the job.
Well, all the entreprenuers are mostly not so educated and the people who are educated are fooling them to the maximum.
Sample Interview …..
Inerviewer ..Do u know car driving (maruti 800) ?
yes sir,
Inerviewer..Which car you drive?
Maruti 800
Inerviewer..Oh no…we have Hyundai santro, Sorry to say you are not selected.
This is all about INTERVIEW and INTERVIEWER.
In my opinion, If the Manager knows the job, he can select a candidate by evaluating CV, talk over the phone and probably meet once and put him on job. No need to talk toomuch and waste time, money and energy.
ENTERPRENEURS WAKE UP !!!!!!!
Top Management people are responsible for downfall of company, not a employeee…….Top management people are earning more money than owners without taking any risk.
Two questions that always pop up in interviews I’ve had are ‘Why do you want this job?’ and ‘What makes you think you deserve this job?’
I never know what to say and usually end up tripping over my own words. Any advice?
hi.what is the best answer when they ask me if why should i want to shift to other job? pls help me. i resigned to my previous field job for it seems i dont like it, and now, i feel that office base is much better for me. tnx a lot
interview
Thanks soooooooo much Bhuvana! Great Site and really useful. I’ve had some trouble getting jobs for a while now and this will help.
Thanks again
THIIIIIIIIIIS REALLLY HELPS A LOT FOR A BETTER N BOOST START
Its really helpful to the freshers those who really keen abt their job. It help me a lot.
Thank U.
Will read the entire comment thread later because right now I do not have four or five hours to comb through the rice and the chaff. But so far I can declare that many questions of mine on the topic of interviewing, questions that have gone on unanswered for years, are now resolved and that I now have more confidence to face down the standard interview questions. Thanks!~

Thanks so much for the help.
Great list. I’ve also been asked whether I like to work individually or in a team (tricky question) and whether I consider myself more introverted or extroverted. I just completed a short list of my most common interview questions on my new blog, Jobless Genevieve, created especially for recent jobless graduates and unemployed young people. Feel free to check it out!
I appreciate the effort taken to list them..It really helped my son Nouman Owasie , a fresher and just completed in B.E. In an interview in Dubai I was selected as Business Development Manager just because I presented a SWOT analysis in brief ..

interview questions /
Tell me about yourself?
(What are they really asking /what they want to hear /what they don’t want to hear?)
Why do you want to work for our co? // Why should we hire you?
I really think I have a lot to offer to your co and your co has lot to offer me.
I will be an asset to your co. I look forward to being a part of your team.
I have keen interest in research, I can learn things fast and execute them correctly in short span of time.
Best thing about joining a research job you get exposed to lot of businesses and that’s a great learning. I would love to do a job where I have to analyze particular sector/company.
Why do you want to leave your present job?
I feel that it is now time for me to enhance my career prospects and that’s why looking for other options
Since my present job provides me very little scope of opportunities.
I feel that it is now time for me to enhance my career prospects and do something better and I see no future growth possibilities in my existing company and therefore looking for other options
Now being with the co for more than 1 and a half years and after interacting with people in same industry I have come to realize that sector /co doesn’t have 2 much 2 for a young professional like me.
People who are in this sector for more than 5 years they are still doing the same kind of work which they started doing it when the joined.
So there is very limited scope of learning growth and responsibilities.
I am looking for a change as there is a very little scope of growth. I don’t foresee and growth and learning in my present co.Then in last 3 – 4 months there is significant drop in volume both in exports and imports. I am hearing that things are not growing to improve for next 8 to 12 months.
Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
What kind of salary you are looking for?
I hope compensation offered to me will be according to my qualifications, skills and experience.
When are you able to start?
I have to inform my current employer and serve the notice period of around one and half month; I could immediately start after that.
How long would you stay with us?
If I can learn and grow along with the company growth I don’t foresee any change.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I would like to see myself in the management position and I am going to be learning and gaining practical experience until then.
What kind of challenges did you face in your last job and how did you overcome it?
The challenge which I faced in my last job was to establish myself in short span of time and I achieved it by hard work I put in lot of efforts and find out ways so that I can get maximum results in short span of time.
If you could start your career again, what would you do differently?
Looking back what would you do differently in your life?
It’s been a good life, rich in learning and experience. I have learnt a lot from my past so; I wouldn’t want anything to be changed. I have learned from each of the experience I have had and the best is yet to come.
Well looking back I know am happy with how my life is going on. It has taught me lot .I have learnt a lot from my past so; I wouldn’t want anything to be changed.
I have learn from each of the experience I have had
I never look back because past is past and i have to live my rest of life in future. although i will never repeat the mistakes which i had done earlier in my life.
Its been a good life, rich in learning and experience, and the best it yet to come. Every experience in life is a lesson it its own way. I wouldn’t change any thing.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how do you rate yourself?
I strive to do best in whatever I do.
8/10..there is always scope for improvement
Are you willing to relocate?
Yes
I guess it would depend on the location and the pay. If everything is the same, I would rather stay here. But I would be willing to consider it.
What are your strengths?
I am very headstrong. I really like to be challenged in my job, and I just want to learn as much as I can in my position. At the end of the day I need to be able to look back on my day and feel good about the job that I’ve done. I guess you could call it sense of self worth. That’s why I always put my all into everything I do.”
1. Get along well with people
2. Attention to detail
3. Learn new information quickly and apply it correctly in a time constrained environment/ I am a quick learner. I have great problem-solving skills and am willing to learn new things to get the job done
4. Determined
5. Able to prioritize
6. Believe in myself –self confidence
7. I have the ability to cope with failures and learn from my mistakes
8. Love to learn new things
9. Having good interpersonal skills
10. Highly energetic
11. I like to work in team and have been an active participant and organizer at several places
12. My strength is my flexibility to handle change. As customer service manager at my last job, I was able to turn around a negative working environment and develop a very supportive team.
What are your weaknesses?
I’m sure I have short comings, but no one has ever enlightened me to them nor have they ever interfered with my productivity or work.â€
Simple answer: “Well I used to have a problem saying NO to people, today I prioritize my day completely and in so doing I let my time management skills decide what I can truly say Yes & No to
i can sometimes get frustrated if i am working hard and others around me do not seem to beâ€
I have to work on having more patience because I always want everything done at once.
I’m over-friendly
What does success mean to you?
To me success means completing a task and when looking back thinking I could nt have done it better
What does failure mean to you?
I feel failure is not reaching true potential, if a person is not able to utilize the resources he has and resources around him it’s a failure because the work could have been done better.
What type of co you would prefer?
I will prefer a company where I can contribute and contributions are appreciated and rewarded.
I would like to join a company where I can enhance my skills, competitive environment, and cooperative colleagues.
Do you prefer working alone or in a group?
// Do you prefer to work in a group?
Yes I prefer working in a group
How do you make imp decisions?
I make imp decisions by examining all the details and then weighing the pros and cons for each decision.
How do you feel about overtime?
I don’t have any problem in working overtime and I am flexible with my hours.
Do you work well under pressure?
Yes
Working under pressure is really a good experience in my sense, where our capabilities will be known to our self & others, so i like to work in these situations rather working in normal situations.
What is the most recent book you read? / Who has inspired you in life and why?
I read Autobiography of George Soros. He was a respectable and successful currency speculator. Chairman of Soros fund management
On sept 16 1992,He became famous when he sold short more than $ 10 billion worth of pounds , profiting from the bank of England reluctance to raise either its interest rates to level comparable to those of other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency and made in excess of $ 1.1 billion on a single day.
Is there anything else you want to add?
I don’t know if I expressed it that well but I am confident that I can do well.
Are you an organized person?
Yes
If you won 10 crore lottery, would you still work?
Yes I would still work, since I cannot sit idle.
What qualities should manager possess?
Competencies Teamwork Responsibility Commitment to career Commercial awareness Career motivation Decision making Communication Leadership Trustworthiness & Ethics Results orientation Problem solving
What are your short term goals?
My short term goal is to find a position where I can use the knowledge and strengths that I have. I want to partake in the growth and success of the co I work for.
How do you handle conflict? // what do you do when people start arguing? // tell me about a time when you disagreed with somebody else?
I feel all problems have a solution. Whenever I am confronted with a conflict, I analyze it and create a list of steps I can take to resolve it.
Arguments come about when two people have different perspectives on the same issue and both are trying to persuade, sometimes aggressively, to get the other side to see the issue THEIR way. Simply put, arguments happen when two people are talking, yet no one is actually doing any real listening.
If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be and why?
Generally each day has brought new things in life on personal and professional front.dont want to change anything
To be less defensive and less impulsive
What you do when you are angry
Empathize with them. When I get angry at another person for the stuff he /she did, I try for a moment to put myself in their shoes and see things from their perspective. By seeing things from the perspective of the other person, it will allow you to see the bigger picture
Why you have done MBA after professional course like engg.
MBA -2005 07 B tech is not used
Great great question. And I’ve asked myself the question several times. (The engineering makes you analytical and the MBA makes you structure your arguments well.)
Why changed and change the sector
I changed the job because at that point of time shipping sector was booming, freight rates were at an all time high /compensation was also good and I changed it because I thought it was a good opportunity to learn something new as I already knew about stock market as I have been investing in market since 2005.
If you could relieve the last 10 years of life. What would you do differently?
Really nothing. I‘ve learned from each experience I‘ve had.
What motivates you?
I’ve always been motivated by the desire to do a good job at whatever position I’m in. I want to excel and to be successful in my job, both for my own personal satisfaction and for my employer.
I was responsible for several projects where I directed development teams and implemented repeatable processes. The teams achieved 100% on-time delivery of software products. I was motivated both by the challenge of finishing the projects ahead of schedule and by managing the teams that achieved our goals.
What kind of team you would like to join?
I have gone thru your co website/I would like to join your research/commercial team
How do you handle criticism?
I try to see criticism as an opportunity to improve my work’ I decide whether the criticism is valid or not’
This is awesome! If you could leave an email address, I would love to ask your opinon on answers to other interview questions.
how to tell about my self and my family background?
please do a needful .
Thank you
If you are in the US, no employer or school is legally allowed to ask you that.
This site really helped me. Tomorrow I have an presentation. And I got what I want here. please pray for me…….

I had a job interview yesterday and was asked a question that completely threw me off. I have not come across this question when doing research on interview questions and answers.
The VP asked me, “What do you consider the most important thing in life?”
Can someone please contribute what will be the best answer to this in case this type of question comes up again in future interviews.
Thanks vm and good luck!

Those who are reading this interview tips,

Because it helped me.
Thanks!
I teach English at a night school for adults. I thought this article was excellent, and a good resource for my students. However, I’m not going to bother suggesting this site. The insulting comments with foul language that follow are a distraction. It’s unprofessional, and I’m not sure why the owner of this blog doesn’t edit the garbage out. Take out the idiotic flaming.
it was very good to go through the blog we must have gyan session like this
This is a great article !!
These interview Questions are very essential.
Damn after reading this debate on racism I feel like I just got through watching a Jerry Lewis marathon. Holy shit people!!!
Sure it isn’t nice talk bad about any race. However, opinions are just that. If someone has an opinion you do not like then hey move on and be the better man or woman in that matter. Don’t sink to their level (which is what they want by the way). And don’t forget your flaming someone on the fucking internet for crying out loud. Generally speaking most of the people that post shit on forums don’t even bother to see the reply and if they do see a flame you are simply feeding the troll and they will continue more and more cause they know it is getting to you. So be smart and don’t fight with the mentally challenged. It is degrading to do such and pointless at that
good collection of interview tips, Best practice of these interview questions will defenetley bring success in interviews.
The best prepared-most informed candidate will generally out perform his competition. In this battle knowledge is king
To the Jessica person at the top as well as the other racist lot, how incredibly stupid can you get? judging people based on their skin colour. It is the person not their skin. For example murderers, rapists, pedofiles etc aren’t all brown skinned are they? and as for the “stupid nigger” in the white house how stupid is he if he is running your country? yeah. not so stupid is he.

#27. what is more important to you? money or the work?
I would be lying if I say that money is not an important factor. However, I believe that someone working for the money cannot be satisfied with their job for too long. If I had to choose between a job that I like which pays less and a job that I have no interest in which pays a lot of money, I would hesitate for sure, but in the end choose the work that I like to do. Working has to be fun and motivating. If I am stipulated, then obivously I would work harder and that would give me a raise which is much better than working 13-14 hours a day at a job that I don’t even like.
-What is your greatest weakness?
sometimes someone’s weakness can be exposed easily by some strangers.. but in my case,im not good at hiding myself something. stuff or anything.. my feeing.. and some situation should be controlled.
i expose them well. but it doesnt mean i do reveal some secrets of others..
concealing my emotion is really hard for me. some say it’s very
honnest thing. but even that is honnest, i don’t want it, i want everything under my control..
i am a good team player.I can absorb into the organisationwithout disruption to the existing dynamics.I can easily take out their potentials and put them on right track.
hey….the ques are great…and they really helped my dad out with his great post which he nw enjoys
28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
My previous supervisor always told me that my strongest point is my ability to prioritize tasks. Whenever I’m given a list of tasks to solve, I sort them out into a different set of lists in order of priority. Of course, I logically come up with what I think is the order of importance. Thus, if was to be placed in one work category, I’d probably be a ‘Problem Solver’.
Great. I feel I now have much confidence to face a panel in a job interview.
thankyou for these questions i will use them confidently at my next interview
i enjoy men(y) questions on iterviewing
My greatest weakness in the workplace is that I’m easily distracted. I take care of this by being conscious of it, and taking steps to ensure that distractions are at a minimum. I keep my desk fairly clear, ensure my work area is set up to maximise my focus on my tasks; and if coworkers tend to drop by and chat randomly, I set limits on how long they can stay in my cube – “I’m sorry, I really need to get this done – can we pick up at lunch?” – or some such. There’s no need to make anyone mad or hurt any feelings, but I am at work to work. In addition, in my current workplace we’re permitted to listen to music on headphones/earphones, and I use this to help me concentrate; it blocks out the general office noise and any conversations that are going on around me, so I can get down to business.
fuck u bigot bitch
this website is fucking gay and everybody on it are stupid cunt bitches
meanwhile, you’re on it too
I always ask the interviewer “How would you describe your organisational culture?” Not only does it usually surprise the interviewer and put them on the spot, but it also shows you are interested in what their working environment is like and how you might fit in. Sometimes they may counter with “what kind of culture are you looking for?”.
Another ‘trick’ question can be “What is the best way to motivate you in your work?” One girl I was present at an interview for replied “well…. i guess if you gave me stuff like movie tickets and that, that could be a way”. Naturally, she was crossed off the list immediately. If I were answering this question, I’d say I like to be recognised for hard work and a job well done. I don’t need to receive bonuses or the like, but positive reinforcement that I am performing the job to the standard you expect or beyond motivates me to perform even better.

You all seem like a bunch of illiterate morons, including the Original Poster. I wouldn’t hire any of you for anything more intellectual than spearing garbage at the side of the road in an orange jumpsuit. Possible exception being that chick who told the racist joke, that was pretty funny.
Plz give the best ans for these questions
1.Tell Me about urself?
2.what u will be after 5yrs?
3.tell me ur negative pts?
1. You should not start from your birth canal cz the interviewer doesnt want it to hear. tell about your experience(if experienced), your skills, competencies that is related to the job u hv applied for. show example to back up your qualities.
2. dont tell that you will start ur own bizness. this will distract u from the rail line. you better analyze the best projection that can be after 5 yrs. say that you will be the best staff(in ur job field) that other can rely upon u.
3. your negetive point should be something which you are trying to overcome and which has a significant impact on your job result. like- priority settings, to much optimistic, had lack of knowledge in a particular field,overlook the small things etc.
Matthew,

Very useful writeup.
Greatest weakness question:
Please consider this question is meaningful only in the context of the interview. After all, answer in another context will be a waste of their time.
The question is not asking for your personal “secret” weaknesses, nor if you hate other people’s driving.
This question is for finding where you are in relation to what they can get from you and what they can do for you.
The best answer will be a true weakness, you can and are working to reduce, and perhaps (or perhaps not) one the organization has excellent ability to assist you with.
This is a good question, as it gives you chance to show you look for ways to improve yourself.
It is not hard to believe that some of the people on this blog are looking for jobs
[…] sits on your arm, forget it. You can read yourself silly with everything out there concerning job interviews. It all comes down to knowing exactly what they want to hear and whether or not the interviewer […]
I would simply ask the interviewer what their ratio of niggers to whites is. If there are too many niggers then the organization is an easy one to work for. You can be lazy, not use deodorant, brush your teeth. You wouldn’t even have to show up to work on time.
This is a job us white people need to seek out and take over. Quit letting niggers get all the breaks.
I have a dream.
I have a dream that we can be shitty people like them. We don’t have to be help raise our children. We too can smoke crack and drink malt liquor all day too.

All of you that have put racist/childish comments just show exactly why you are looking for a job! either by making these comments you are trying to show how thick you actually are or you are being silly.
Either way this is very useful stuff and if you had any brain power at all you would realise this!!

i got the good question for job interview. i am very happy for easy got interview Question and answer.
I worked in cookies store last 15 years and have interviewed many people. Apart from technical knowledge which is easy enough to measure what I always looked for was some one I could work with on a day to day basis. Somebody who appears confrontational or arrogant is doomed from the start. Be yourself, use common sense, and most importantly try and enjoy the experience. Life is too short to be stressing about things which are really out of our control.
In my personal experience, I found out the general interview which taken by woman to a man is basically a serious waste of time. First of all, God creates man and woman differently . Honestly most of my anwsers to her question may NOT please her due to the fact, she is looking for a woman kind just like her even in a very technical position. I personally think in many organizations in North America, Should hire qualified men even in HR who really have sound judgement to hire an appropiate person for an appropiate position. Understanding human’s mind and his or her capability is not a job of some poorly educated woman who happen to get a job in HR department . Some women are certainly qualify without any doubt but my question is are we hiring the right people in HR who will hire others in near future. Think about it.
I know some point about the question but do not say proper answer

32. Give me an example of a difficult decision or task you had to deal with
i got a question that why do you want to work with us.
I said, just for experience was that right.
That makes it sound like you’re not planning on staying long. For some jobs that’s okay (part-time, seasonal), but most employers are looking for long-term commitment, someone who wants a “career” rather than a “job”. It also sounds like you think you’re too valuable to stay at the job long. You should research the company and know about the benefits and mention one, and say something like “this position sounds very rewarding” or “I’d really like to take on these challenges”.
The writer of this is a genius! I have newly left school and have no experience but used this to help me understand what the interviewer wishes to hear!
Thanks

The above Qs have 100% potential to prepare for interview.
Following 25 Qs & recommendations would put more light.
The 25 most difficult questions you’ll be asked on a job interview
Being prepared is half the battle.
If you are one of those executive types unhappy at your present post and embarking on a New Year’s resolution to find a new one, here’s a helping hand. The job interview is considered to be the most critical aspect of every expedition that brings you face-to- face with the future boss. One must prepare for it with the same tenacity and quickness as one does for a fencing tournament or a chess match.
This article has been excerpted from “PARTING COMPANY: How to Survive the Loss of a Job and Find Another Successfully” by William J. Morin and James C. Cabrera. Copyright by Drake Beam Morin, inc. Publised by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
Morin is chairman and Cabrera is president of New York-based Drake Beam Morin, nation’s major outplacement firm, which has opened offices in Philadelphia.
1. Tell me about yourself.
Since this is often the opening question in an interview, be extracareful that you don’t run off at the mouth. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years, education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question. Don’t waste your best points on it.
2. What do you know about our organization?
You should be able to discuss products or services, revenues, reputation, image, goals, problems, management style, people, history and philosophy. But don’t act as if you know everything about the place. Let your answer show that you have taken the time to do some research, but don’t overwhelm the interviewer, and make it clear that you wish to learn more.
You might start your answer in this manner: “In my job search, I’ve investigated a number of companies.
Yours is one of the few that interests me, for these reasons…”
Give your answer a positive tone. Don’t say, “Well, everyone tells me that you’re in all sorts of trouble, and that’s why I’m here”, even if that is why you’re there.
3. Why do you want to work for us?
The deadliest answer you can give is “Because I like people.” What else would you like-animals?
Here, and throughout the interview, a good answer comes from having done your homework so that you can speak in terms of the company’s needs. You might say that your research has shown that the company is doing things you would like to be involved with, and that it’s doing them in ways that greatly interest you. For example, if the organization is known for strong management, your answer should mention that fact and show that you would like to be a part of that team. If the company places a great deal of emphasis on research and development, emphasize the fact that you want to create new things and that you know this is a place in which such activity is encouraged. If the organization stresses financial controls, your answer should mention a reverence for numbers.
If you feel that you have to concoct an answer to this question – if, for example, the company stresses research, and you feel that you should mention it even though it really doesn’t interest you- then you probably should not be taking that interview, because you probably shouldn’t be considering a job with that organization.
Your homework should include learning enough about the company to avoid approaching places where you wouldn’t be able -or wouldn’t want- to function. Since most of us are poor liars, it’s difficult to con anyone in an interview. But even if you should succeed at it, your prize is a job you don’t really want.
4. What can you do for us that someone else can’t?
Here you have every right, and perhaps an obligation, to toot your own horn and be a bit egotistical. Talk about your record of getting things done, and mention specifics from your resume or list of career accomplishments. Say that your skills and interests, combined with this history of getting results, make you valuable. Mention your ability to set priorities, identify problems, and use your experience and energy to solve them.
5. What do you find most attractive about this position? What seems least attractive about it?
List three or four attractive factors of the job, and mention a single, minor, unattractive item.
6. Why should we hire you?
Create your answer by thinking in terms of your ability, your experience, and your energy. (See question 4.)
7. What do you look for in a job?
Keep your answer oriented to opportunities at this organization. Talk about your desire to perform and be recognized for your contributions. Make your answer oriented toward opportunity rather than personal security.
8. Please give me your defintion of [the position for which you are being interviewed].
Keep your answer brief and taskoriented. Think in in terms of responsibilities and accountability. Make sure that you really do understand what the position involves before you attempt an answer. If you are not certain. ask the interviewer; he or she may answer the question for you.
9. How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our firm?
Be realistic. Say that, while you would expect to meet pressing demands and pull your own weight from the first day, it might take six months to a year before you could expect to know the organization and its needs well enough to make a major contribution.
10. How long would you stay with us?
Say that you are interested in a career with the organization, but admit that you would have to continue to feel challenged to remain with any organization. Think in terms of, “As long as we both feel achievement-oriented.”
11. Your resume suggests that you may be over-qualified or too experienced for this position. What’s Your opinion?
Emphasize your interest in establishing a long-term association with the organization, and say that you assume that if you perform well in his job, new opportunities will open up for you. Mention that a strong company needs a strong staff. Observe that experienced executives are always at a premium. Suggest that since you are so wellqualified, the employer will get a fast return on his investment. Say that a growing, energetic company can never have too much talent.
12. What is your management style?
You should know enough about the company’s style to know that your management style will complement it. Possible styles include: task oriented (I’ll enjoy problem-solving identifying what’s wrong, choosing a solution and implementing it”), results-oriented (“Every management decision I make is determined by how it will affect the bottom line”), or even paternalistic (“I’m committed to taking care of my subordinates and pointing them in the right direction”).
A participative style is currently quite popular: an open-door method of managing in which you get things done by motivating people and delegating responsibility.
As you consider this question, think about whether your style will let you work hatppily and effectively within the organization.
13. Are you a good manager? Can you give me some examples? Do you feel that you have top managerial potential?
Keep your answer achievementand ask-oriented. Rely on examples from your career to buttress your argument. Stress your experience and your energy.
14. What do you look for when You hire people?
Think in terms of skills. initiative, and the adaptability to be able to work comfortably and effectively with others. Mention that you like to hire people who appear capable of moving up in the organization.
15. Have you ever had to fire people? What were the reasons, and how did you handle the situation?
Admit that the situation was not easy, but say that it worked out well, both for the company and, you think, for the individual. Show that, like anyone else, you don’t enjoy unpleasant tasks but that you can resolve them efficiently and -in the case of firing someone- humanely.
16. What do you think is the most difficult thing about being a manager or executive?
Mention planning, execution, and cost-control. The most difficult task is to motivate and manage employess to get something planned and completed on time and within the budget.
17. What important trends do you see in our industry?
Be prepared with two or three trends that illustrate how well you understand your industry. You might consider technological challenges or opportunities, economic conditions, or even regulatory demands as you collect your thoughts about the direction in which your business is heading.
18. Why are you leaving (did you leave) your present (last) job?
Be brief, to the point, and as honest as you can without hurting yourself. Refer back to the planning phase of your job search. where you considered this topic as you set your reference statements. If you were laid off in an across-the-board cutback, say so; otherwise, indicate that the move was your decision, the result of your action. Do not mention personality conflicts.
The interviewer may spend some time probing you on this issue, particularly if it is clear that you were terminated. The “We agreed to disagree” approach may be useful. Remember hat your references are likely to be checked, so don’t concoct a story for an interview.
19. How do you feel about leaving all your benefits to find a new job?
Mention that you are concerned, naturally, but not panicked. You are willing to accept some risk to find the right job for yourself. Don’t suggest that security might interest you more than getting the job done successfully.
20. In your current (last) position, what features do (did) you like the most? The least?
Be careful and be positive. Describe more features that you liked than disliked. Don’t cite personality problems. If you make your last job sound terrible, an interviewer may wonder why you remained there until now.
21. What do you think of your boss?
Be as positive as you can. A potential boss is likely to wonder if you might talk about him in similar terms at some point in the future.
22. Why aren’t you earning more at your age?
Say that this is one reason that you are conducting this job search. Don’t be defensive.
23. What do you feel this position should pay?
Salary is a delicate topic. We suggest that you defer tying yourself to a precise figure for as long as you can do so politely. You might say, “I understand that the range for this job is between $______ and $______. That seems appropriate for the job as I understand it.” You might answer the question with a question: “Perhaps you can help me on this one. Can you tell me if there is a range for similar jobs in the organization?”
If you are asked the question during an initial screening interview, you might say that you feel you need to know more about the position’s responsibilities before you could give a meaningful answer to that question. Here, too, either by asking the interviewer or search executive (if one is involved), or in research done as part of your homework, you can try to find out whether there is a salary grade attached to the job. If there is, and if you can live with it, say that the range seems right to you.
If the interviewer continues to probe, you might say, “You know that I’m making $______ now. Like everyone else, I’d like to improve on that figure, but my major interest is with the job itself.” Remember that the act of taking a new job does not, in and of itself, make you worth more money.
If a search firm is involved, your contact there may be able to help with the salary question. He or she may even be able to run interference for you. If, for instance, he tells you what the position pays, and you tell him that you are earning that amount now and would Like to do a bit better, he might go back to the employer and propose that you be offered an additional 10%.
If no price range is attached to the job, and the interviewer continues to press the subject, then you will have to restpond with a number. You cannot leave the impression that it does not really matter, that you’ll accept whatever is offered. If you’ve been making $80,000 a year, you can’t say that a $35,000 figure would be fine without sounding as if you’ve given up on yourself. (If you are making a radical career change, however, this kind of disparity may be more reasonable and understandable.)
Don’t sell yourself short, but continue to stress the fact that the job itself is the most important thing in your mind. The interviewer may be trying to determine just how much you want the job. Don’t leave the impression that money is the only thing that is important to you. Link questions of salary to the work itself.
But whenever possible, say as little as you can about salary until you reach the “final” stage of the interview process. At that point, you know that the company is genuinely interested in you and that it is likely to be flexible in salary negotiations.
24. What are your long-range goals?
Refer back to the planning phase of your job search. Don’t answer, “I want the job you’ve advertised.” Relate your goals to the company you are interviewing: ‘in a firm like yours, I would like to…”
25. How successful do you you’ve been so far?
Say that, all-in-all, you’re happy with the way your career has progressed so far. Given the normal ups and downs of life, you feel that you’ve done quite well and have no complaints.
Present a positive and confident picture of yourself, but don’t overstate your case. An answer like, “Everything’s wonderful! I can’t think of a time when things were going better! I’m overjoyed!” is likely to make an interviewer wonder whether you’re trying to fool him . . . or yourself. The most convincing confidence is usually quiet confidence.

For #21, “What irritates you about co-workers?”
You could answer, “It irritates me when my co-workers slack off and don’t get things done.”
this blog has a good post, thanks
Fact: black people kill more people then cigarettes
Fact: Agreeing with Belinda Australians are faggets
Fact: Its not racist if its a fact
Fact: More black people are seriously racist
Speculation: most white people are not seriously racist
Complete fiction: niggers jews and women are hard working
Fact: Mexicans will take over the US so stop bitching and learn fucking spanish, you should consider yourselfs honored that we would even consider coming to this country of freedom and opportunity and showing what it is supposed to be about!
thank you
Love,
Robert
p.s. GET OFF MY LAWN NIGGER
p.p.s. kill whitey
This was uncalled for on a website for a job…what the hell is your problem and guess what f.y.i ….white people are racist and more than black people… Niggers is an ignorant person like u u must be a nigger for this to come out of your mouth. Mexicans ain’t takin over nothing but the minimun wage jobs u fuckin jerk……….u need to grow up Robert…………..Honored i bet u couldn’t make those comments in your own country because it’s poor and they are what over there dying so u should be honored to be here to have the opportunity from us u coward
it helps me! thanks a lot!
For all you idiots……. I live in a free country and I have the freedom of speech at my will so, I have the right to criticize and curse any and everybody. I am a honest person and by that Ive clearly mentioned my preference regarding ,niggers, Jews, Mexicans and retarded third world Indians. In my opinion if all these outsiders are thrown out of our countries then there wont be such of a hassle of jobs and interviews.
Interesting
Cool story indeed. I’ve been seeking for this info.
Can you recall Obama’s recent India trip, Jessica? He literally begged to Manmohan Singh to create job and business opportunities for Americans.
LOL!
So, back to the post! To the author, I wanted to thank you for these interview tips. My interview skills are very rusty, as I have been at my current job for nine years. I had an interview today, and prepped myself with these questions. Literally every question the 2 HR people asked me had been covered here. You saved my ass, so THANK YOU.
It is very useful to us. This is my first time to apply in electronics company..give me some easy and difficult question..thank you and i hope u answer my question.
To “Jessica” please tell me that u r not racist I seriously wish that all hitler like people would go where he is right now and guess what sweetie it ain’t heaven and I highly doubt that u got the job and I’m a white person but you are a disgrace to the human race who cares what skin color or religion they r u r really pathetic seriously when I saw this no mate you are just an attention seeking wannabe !!!!!!! >_<

Why cant we say we don’t like other races in a job interview if we really cant stand them? I hate working with smelly niggers, indians (brown ones), mexicans, and the retards. Fuck all them equal opportunity employers letting the lessers steal all the jobs from us hard working white people because I am clearly better suited for these jobs.
Kirk, isn’t there enough noise in this world without people like you trying to turn up the volume?
I’ve got your solution, though: go sit in a closet with the door closed and scream your bloody head off … literally.
LOL! You guys are posting racial remarks on a blog that’s meant to help us prepare for job interviews?! If you hate black people fine. Hate mexicans? Fine…but the one thing I hate more than ignorant assholes is being BROKE! And this is why you don’t have a job in the first place!
Hi Bruvans,
You posted this one from 2006. But now it is still useful for community.

Behavioral questions are becoming the norm for job interviews. Find out more about this type of interview before attending your next job interview.
i dont know why but all of theses comments gave me a hard on is that normal???
“What is your biggest weakness”
A: I am a terrible liar.
LOL just kidding. DO NOT say that in an interview.
I live in Ireland in an economy that is gone down the sink and there is mass emigration and huge un-employment with 100s of people applying for the same position
Luckily, I am an IT graduate and that is about the only sector in which there are still jobs in Ireland. Each time I have an interview I look at this web page because it provides you with the basic competency Qs that we should all have prepared in our heads before an interview.
Hopefully, any day now Ill land myself a career!!!!
this is a very good informative content for me i relly need this kind of help.
it help me a lot
thanks(www.askinterview.com)
Nigger and Jews ARE THE WORST! World would be better without them.
Hahaha
Niggers.
So TRUE.
Niggers and Jews are Sick. They all smell gross. They all talk like the ignorant fucks that they are and keep to their stereotypes very well. Thats all they are good at. Thank you for the post Nigger.
Sincerely,
Your neighborly Nigger Hater
HAHA

Great information. I got lucky and found your site from a random Google search. Fortunately for me, this topic just happens to be something that I’ve been trying to find more info on for research purposes. Keep up the great work and thanks a lot.
hello friends,the first question ask by me on my first interview is that are you ready to work ouside your city or we offer you somewhat around 10thousand INR .YES OK -GAURAV BHATIA
Hi Bhuvans
These interview questions are very useful.
Pls keep posting.
rgs
Great job
HAHAHAHAH!
awww shit.
funniest comments.
but one of the funniest things about it is its your opinion. everyone has their own opinion, and some of you “tough” dogs on the internet are bound to have the same opinions. your nothing special.
like who the fuck do you think you are? I would bet $2000 dollars you wouldn’t walk up to a group of black people and say “fuck all you niggers”.
your weak for even posting shit like that. like seriously you need a wake up call or a smack in the head.
you probably don’t even have a family.
like seriously, you think your tough because you can attack people over the internet. wow wish i was that “tough” (N)
like that is the saddest thing. you sit at home on your computers being depressed trying to put others down. Grow the fuck up. Your probably like 14 Years old. And Don’t even know what Nigger means for fuck sake, Its actually sad how it makes you feel good. I start to feel sorry for you, then realize its your own fault you probably have no friends or family that love you.
Y O U B E T R O L L I N G !
Grow Some fucking balls and man up.
Bloody keyboard Warriors.
questions are good but dont have answers. Why?
Gr8 tips they are better questions for a fresh graduate to answer these question according to tricks shown above But can you please send me some (procurement) related interview question i would be really thankfull to u

Dear Sir/Madam
Could you please help me out with the following question:What were the main reasons for moving from one job to the other?
Regards,
Khaled
I need answer for the following question please:
Why are you seeking a move from your current job?
Regards,
Khaled
Hey Khaled, the best answer which has worked for me would be that “I feel I have so much more to contribute to my current job, but unfortunately there are no other promotional opportunities available.” Good luck!
oh heyyyyy guys.

hi everybody enjoy ur work and ,got success every field in life.
Great Questions suggestions!
i’ll be interview 4 teacher’s course tomorrow,,although this blog is 4 job interviews but at has help me so much,,,good job,,,
In todays world, yesterdays too for that matter, race should have never played any sort of role at all. In all races we have people of all types good and bad and it has nothing to do with skin color or creed.
I think if the people who find it humorous to offend others with racism should look in the mirror and try some empathy for a change.
Remember, we all are very different but if you think about it, that is our strength, not our weakness. Besides, why would anyone want to live in a world that believes their race is superior? Where would such a thought come from I wonder?
Love each other and help each other, that’s the way we all make a better world. Sincerely, Bill
@ JESSICA and GARY,
dude shouldn’t make such comments about our employers. Don’t you know The President just visited Indians to ask for jobs..and they just gave out 22000 of them if not less.
‘m sure you didn’t end up getting that job and must have been kicked out.
Regards,
NANCY.
Great article, but some of the answers are a little to passive.
I agree that you should not be petty in what you don’t like about a boss, past employer or co-workers, but you should be honest if you had a boss that was repugnant.
I have disclosed that as the Director of IT I was directed by my new boss, VP of Operations, and the president of the BOD to give the new VP access to the CEO’s “my documents” and e-mail. I refused the directive based on written company rules and regulations. It was made clear that I could follow the directive or face the consequences when the CEO was replaced by the new VP. I made the decision to act ethically and look for a new position in another company.
My favorite answer to the question on your greatest weakness: “I am very detail oriented and I have a tendency to want things perfect. I sometimes have to remind myself not to get lost in the details and to keep my focus on meeting the project objectives.”
mobiles games ,apps.,mp3,videos,themes, etc.

I’M A PERSON WHO SURVIVED AT MY FIRST INTERVIEW IN HR ROUND. DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION.
Tommarow i have a interview i did QA training. They are asking “Tell me About your self” Please some one help me
“why should i hire you”
Hey my name is Fernanda, I am preparing myself for an english interview, but after reading all your comments I will think twice before going there again for vacations.
Oh and I am from Uruguay(between Brazil and Argentina), here you you will be more than welcome no matter the colour of your skin or whatever, after seeing Crash(the movie) i thought “wow” but it was just a movie…now that you are all fighting eachother I think is not so far from reality.
Excuse me for my bad english I am just learning
Fernanda, Please notice that your English is as good, or better, than 99% of the individiuals on this blog; so you have nothing for which you must apologize. Please also be aware that the offenders are a noisy minority of the population of America simply seeking attention. My suggestion to you, and everyone who is displeased with their statements, IGNORE THEM and they’ll go away. This is a format where they have no teeth, they’re simply agitators and if one responds they win. Let the rest of us stick to the subject at hand. AaronP

This is a really great article. It should help many people who are in need of work get back into the workforce. For some people who have lost jobs from injuries at work, this should assist with answering difficult questions that may arise.
Wow! This article has a ton of great information! I have an interview tomorrow and I know I will use some of this information. Some of these questions were asked at the last couple of interviews that I had and I wasn’t quite as prepared for them as I will be now.

What Bonnie forgot to mention is that our HR people find this really helpful in giving them a better idea about what questions to ask our admin staff and lawyers we continue to employ at our law firm. Being in a personal service industry, it’s really important to our business that we employ expert compensation lawyers who are not only familiar with the Personal Injury industry, but also have excellent people skills.

After suffering an injury at work getting back into the workforce can be hard. At Claims Australia we run Compensation claims on the no win no fee scheme, which aids people who would not usually be able to obtain legal representation. To overcome the stresses of finding a new job is difficult and this blog will be very helpful for those who are struggling with this issue.

Hey everybody whom is speaking please stop talking on caps lock and I agree with some of you because jessica is a racist sun of a bitch. I what to know why some of you say the dumbbies things you have ever written down and why some of you do the same things twice and some of you do the same dam things over and over a gain but by the way some of these

One of your job interview objectives is to determine if the prospective employer and the job would be a good fit for you.
hey I think these are great tips to have on a interview its better to have them in weeks advance than to have them the day before because you get to study for the interview. The biggest problem I think that I have had is saying I dont know to some of the questions or letting the interviewer now my weakness.
Funny how the whole interview question and answer session (which was very interesting to read and was going swimmingly well ) degenerated into a racist free-for-all.
People like the person who commented about the other races are not serious and are plain lazy. Other people should just ignore them as they are not worth the effort. If you cannot respect others, then you have no respect for yourselves.
I’ll bet that they are a bunch of underachievers with no specific goal in life.
How can I incorporate “I eat Wheaties for breakfast every morning which makes me a better candidate for this position.” into my interview.
[…] Rehearse the gotcha questions. These are ones like “What do you like least about your current job?” What a bad question. This is a lose/lose question for most. If you say “difficult customers,” then they think you can’t handle customer service. If you say “to much work,” then it may come off that you can’t prioritize. I thought about this one and have a pretty good response. Speak to the one thing that I really do get bothered by. It is when my co-workers who become really good friends almost family leave for a new job. I’m very close to my co-workers and I hate to see them leave. That for me is the truth and it speaks to relationships. This response is also very neutral and disarms the teeth in it. We all have aspects of our jobs we don’t enjoy – but this question always paints someone in a bad light. For a list of commonly used questions so you can be prepared check out this blog. […]
i could not stop laughing …. at Jessica….
Basically, the goal is to tell the interviewer what they want to hear. They want to hear how you’re going to help make the company better and how better you’ll perform than others. Always be positive in your answers and examples even if you’re asked about your weaknesses/struggles. That’ll give you the opportunity to explain how you’ll “better” yourself for that company.
Think of yourself as a “product” and sell yourself to the “buyer”.

Right now is probably a scary time for you. I’ve been there before and everyday I help people who are in the exact same position.
It probably seems that you’re caught in a never-ending blur of:
Searching online job posting sites while wasting hours and getting no where.
Applying to dozens of so-called positions and never even getting a courtesy call from the HR departments.
Getting excited about promising “we’re reviewing your resume†messages but never getting the chance to interview.

Great list of interview questions and alot of them are very original. Asking about the qualities of a boss is something that is very important to some employers because they want to know what you expect of them as a leader in the company.
Great post – lots of good interview questions here….thanks for sharing!
I wanted to share this with you as well (I’m hoping it can help others reading this blog) There’s this great iPhone app for 600 interview questions in a flash card my friends and I have used to prep. I actually created it because I started getting frustrated with paper flash cards… It’s pretty easy to use and it’s the most comprehensive set of Questions and Answers I’ve seen to date…

this is great advice. companies often ask trick questions. its best to research the company and make sure you know as much as possible before the job interview. also do practice interviews with a friend
thank you jessica
Very exhaustive resource for both interviewers and job seekers. I’ve got several applicants to interview for the position of Front Desk Officer in my startup company. Would sure be using something from here
We regret to inform everyone from (and including) Jessica’s Comment downwards, the position you have applied for has been filled. Thankyou for your application, into heaven. God
I like this post because it’s very useful in my internship as HR assistant specialization in recruitment…

I like this post. It’s great article in my opinion.
Thanks
wow, I thought this was a informative blog on interviewing questions.
oh how sad it is to see another idiot added to the masses, I’m reminded every day how ignorant and stupid people are, and frankly, its fucking crazy how often I face palm at the blatant and ridiculous statements regarding peoples race.
its sad really, that people actually hate each other based by the color of the skin, for fuck sake, some days I wish we couldn’t see in color.
But then, my rational comes in, and tells me “Its the human condition that some people abide by, to find a weakness in their eye’s any exploit it by whatever ridiculous means necessary”.
And really, she probably posted that as a complete joke, in her eye’s, it may not be the perspective she holds, but she mainly wished to start a flame war towards her.
Maybe i’m wrong, and she really is as ignorant as the waste of space comment she left, which at the least, i’m hoping is not the case.
Its unfortunant that idiots like this are aloud to bread there ignoramus ideas among the populous, but, that’s free speech for ya, even the idiots are aloud to have there opinions

Hey Jessica I totally defend you as it was just a joke. I understand that you didn’t meant to hurt anybody’s feelings. But I feel sorry for people who r abusing you so much specially Micheal with a black girl friend. dude you r sick and should be staked because its people like you that has increased racism among people. You don’t fight for equality instead you are a part of those social outcasts who has a total failure in the society, so taking out the frustration upon other people. you fucking LIABILITY upon human race go and die.
Excellent Questions and Clarification and sugestions. defnatly it will be help full to all freshers and experience persons. i am going to an interview on tomarrow. i thing these questions will help to me.

A great list of questions, its nice to see such a wealth of information in one place. Having the right question on hand will leave your interviewer with a lasting impression so it is important to spend a signifant amount of time preparing them.
Definitely consider that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be at the internet the easiest thing to take into accout of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other people consider concerns that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
jessica,
i know who you are….and guess what..last night while i was fucking your mom..the bitch was yelling…eso papi arribaaaaaa fuck this taco baby, and then i came all over her enchilada.
When people are going to interview they should be prepared for the questions.
dear god so many comments
ikr!
you all seem to be a bit silly folks, thats a page for interview skills and some people really look for help at this. its not a page for dicussion about rasismn justy caz someone made a joke. tnx to all who really helped, interviews are tough enough, and good luck to all jobseekers. 🙂
You know what I laugh at stuff like this. Whether it is a joke or not, it should not have been said or even thought of. We all were created from the same GOD and in his image. There is no reason to be racist or ignorant. But, I notice some of the comments in response, were serious. It is ok to express yourself but be smart about it. Only because someone raised you to be that way is the reason you would feel this way. WoW! gotta love ya anyway, but God love you more.
FYI: Vengence is the Lord’s and he will get the last say so, believe it or not. You may have gotten the attention you wanted #lame# but this doesn’t make you popular….well, for just a lil’ while. Maybe you’re not happy with your pathetic of a life…#laughing# (ha,ha)! I will be praying for you. You just had a bad day and decided to make an ignorant comment. This also goes the eggers…Stop being a follower and be a leader. #enuffsaid…you are the weakest link…GOODBYE!gotta love ya!
@JESSEICA AND FOLLOWERS:
SMH! #LAUGHING AT YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE. IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL FUN, THE JOKE IS ON YOU. #ifeelsorry for you, joke or no joke. #idiot.
I HOPE YOU GET THE JOB. #laughing

Interesting ideas and really helpful pratical detail in the Q and A, thanks for posting
hi friends… if anyone can answer these questions, pls help me..i was asked in an interview the following questions
1.what’s your age?
2.what’s your height?
3.finally he asked what’s your ambition?
i said my age, my height, upon which he asked me to convert my height into inches which i forgot the exact conversion value, later i said my ambition too.. is there anything wrong in saying the age?
I was going to refer someone to this list of questions, right up until the point I saw all the angst and drama in the comments that have been allowed to stand. If you wanted this list to be taken seriously, you failed miserably by not deleting the hate and angst in the comments. Just a thought.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Very good one, I really love it!!!!!!!!.
Wow, this was a discussion about interview questions (thanks for posting btw). But then it manifested into a long heated debate. Who cares what Jessica said. She sounds very immature. She was probably trying to be funny or controversial (albeit stupid, tasteless, tactless humor). The best response would have been to completely ignore her and all those others who agreed with her comment.
Great and useful tips here. I suggested this to one of my friend and he said it helped me a lot in appearing one. Thanks for sharing

Wow… this page was good until the comments and Jessica’s input. This is why a moderator would be helpful.. Those kind of comment should be removed unless the original poster agrees, isn’t offended or wants lots of comments. I know it’s a joke, but it’s not funny.
I can’t believe i read most of the comments on here.I just have one thing to say, Everyone-shut-the-fuck-up. That Jessica chick posted that comment in 2009.
“October 19, 2009 at 6:24 am”
To be exact.
Get the fuck over it people. It isn’t that big of a deal. It wouldn’t have even bothered me now until i saw how many mindless people started to freak out because someone said something that people say everyday. Now that my jimmies are rustled, stop living in the past and go on living your pathetic lives and actually try and get jobs.
What was your biggest mistake at work and what did you do about it?:
I wanted to say “I once vacuum under a bed without looking.. I was just using the Vacuum hose.. well.. A dildo got stuck in the hose… I learnt the HARD way to always look under beds before vacuuming” HAHAHAHAHA

“Bob, I am very impressed. It’s so easy to learn the perfect comebacks for questions like ‘what is your biggest failure’ or ‘why should we hire YOU instead of someone else’ … or for me in particular ‘can you explain this gap in your employment history’ … I have been through many uncomfortable interviews, but you’re right — the answers in the this Guide are definitely effective. I was able to use these scripts right away. It’s amazing how well they worked in the interview and I got the job I really wanted! Thank you.”

I know a few who have a job at a VERY low paying job. Just because its the internet doesn’t mean being abusive wont catch up with you. Peace!!!!
Though it’s referring to a specific interview questions; I would like to share this with you, phpinterviewquestions.com, cheers !
that are the good questions for the people who are in the search of jobs.
What’s up, its good post about media print, we all be aware of media is a fantastic source of information.
very sad to this
To everyone on here that posted racial comments…I sincerely pray for you all. Do you realize that having HATE in your hearts will keep you out of HEAVEN? We are ALL made in the image of GOD (Father of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST). Hate is a product of the god of this world (satan), that he uses to turn people one against another. I won’t preach and make this a long post to try to convince you to replace the HATE that’s in your hearts with LOVE. Your soul will be very conscience and remember the words in this post when you are lifting up your eyes from hell when GOD judges you and condemns you to eternal suffering.
May GOD bless you all,
David

Preparing for that crossroads in the interview is crucial, say recruiters and hiring managers. It’s the time to turn the table. And you don’t want to be caught off-guard with crickets in your head. You’ll appear indifferent, or worse,
getsoftwarekey.com clueless. Alternately, if you’re buzzing with questions and give the interviewer what feels like the third-degree, it will immediately signal that you are unfocused or too aggressive.

do you guys see the black freakin dots ? if so why?
EVERYBODY THAT criticised and curse here will definitely not get the job… look at
“38. Describe your management style.
Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.”
suit the situation and manage it… Dun just scold and curse… u shud probably say
“jessica, i know you are trying to lighten the mood, but it is actually making it worst.Perhaps a message to apologize would do…. oh *whisper… u dun have to mean it to say it =P”
I think the admin of this site is genuinely working hard for his
web site, because here every material is quality based information.

familiarity all the time by reading thes nice content.
Hi to every body, it’s my first visit of this blog; this web site carries remarkable and in fact good stuff for visitors.
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts
more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in
its field. Fantastic blog!
Great suggestion, though I believe the blogger may care more about disseminating information than making it colorful and “popping”.
Sorry. If you click BRicK, it says the website doesn’t exist. Try brickwritinglab.blogger.com instead.
Okay, that doesn’t work either. It is brickwritinglab.blogspot.com. Click on the BRicK directly above this comment.
I learned a lot from this site!! 🙂
I don’t understand why people are so racist! We are all the same in Gods eyes so we should treat everyone the same! There was a lot of comments that were hurtful to people! This is a website to help you with a job interview not to fill the page with stupid comments that are pointless!
Thank you

I thought I one day would buy items containing “sustainable palm oil. Did you know that each and everyone of us is fueling one of the world’s biggest ecological disasters and acts of animal slaughter and genocide in history.
