What is the first thing you would change, if you were to start work here?Question 1: Why Do You Want To Work For Us?Its rare for an interview not to includ

13、e this question.The good news is that its an easy one to prepare for.Most companies want to recruit people who are enthusiastic about the company and its products. They dont want people on the team who “ended up there by accident”. So this is your chance to show why working for the company is import

14、ant to you and why you think you will fit in.They will be looking for evidence that you can make a contribution and will be able to grow into the role they are recruiting.This question is designed to screen out candidates who arent serious about the company or may be using it as a stop-gap, while th

15、ey look for something better.Its also your chance to make the most of the company research you have done. You can use this opportunity to add comments that show you understand the companys position in the market place; the role of its competitors and any challenges it may be facing.Sample Answer: “I

16、m not looking for just another pay check. I enjoy my work and am proud of my profession. Your company produces a superior product/provides a superior service. I share the values that make this possible, which should enable me to fit in and complement the team.Question 2: What interests you about thi

17、s job?When youre asked what interests you about the position you are interviewing for, the best way to respond is to describe the qualifications listed in the job posting, then connect them to your skills and experience. That way, the employer will see that you know about the job youre interviewing

18、for (not everyone does) and that you have the qualifications necessary to do the job. For example, if you were interviewing for a Human Resources Manager job where you would be responsible for recruiting, orientation, and training, you will want to discuss how you were responsible for these function

19、s in your past positions, and why you are interested in continuing to develop your expertise in Human Resources management. Another example would be if you were interviewing for a Programmer / Analyst position. In that case, you would mention your interest in learning and excelling at new technologi

20、es, your experience in programming both new applications, and your interest in and your ability to problem solve. In all cases, you will want to convey your enthusiasm for the opportunity to interview, along with your solid ability to do the job. Question 3: What do you know about Our Company?A typi

21、cal job interview question, asked to find out how much company research you have conducted, is What do you know about this company? Prepare in advance, and in a word, research, so, you can provide relevant and current information about your prospective employer to the interviewer. Start by researchi

22、ng the company online. Review the About Us section of the company web site. Google the company, read blogs that mention it, and check Discussion Boards and social networking sites. Use the information you have gathered to create a bulleted list of relevant information that you can easily remember du

23、ring the interview. Taking the time to research will help you make a good impression with how much you know about the company.Question 4: What challenges are you looking for in this position?A typical interview question to determine what you are looking for your in next job, and whether you would be

24、 a good fit for the position being hired for, is What challenges are you looking for in a position? The best way to answer questions about the challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you would like to be able to effectively utilize your skills and experience if you were hired for the job.You ca

25、n also mention that you are motivated by challenges, have the ability to effectively meet challenges, and have the flexibility and skills necessary to handle a challenging job. You can continue by describing specific examples of challenges you have met and goals you have achieved in the past. Questi

26、on 5: Who was your best boss and who was the worst?Ive learned from each boss Ive had. From the good ones I learnt what to do, from the challenging ones - what not to do. Early in my career, I had a mentor who helped me a great deal, we still stay in touch. Ive honestly learned something from each b

27、oss Ive had. Question 6: What have you been doing since your last job?If you have an employment gap on your resume, the interviewer will probably ask you what you have been doing while you were out of work. The best way to answer this question is to be honest, but do have an answer prepared. You wil

28、l want to let the interviewer know that you were busy and active, regardless of whether you were out of work by choice, or otherwise. As I said, it doesnt really matter what you did, as long as you have an explanation. Hiring managers understand that people lose their job - it can happen to anyone -

29、 and its not always easy to find a new job fast. Also, there are legitimate non-employment reasons for being out of the workforce.Question 7: Why did you choose this particular career path?Sometimes in interviews, you will be asked questions that lend themselves to be answered vaguely or with length

30、y explanations. Take this opportunity to direct your answer in a way that connects you with the position and company, be succinct and support your answer with appropriate specific examples.Sample Answer: I chose advertising because I have always been a strong communicator with a good eye for design.

31、 I have a particular interest in creating dynamic eye-catching pieces that support a new product being introduced to the market. I also like the fast-paced high-energy environment that seems to be commonplace in the advertising industry.Advice: Your answer needs to convince the interviewers that you

32、r skills are exactly what they want. They want to know if you have a realistic view of what it is like to work in their industry. Be specific; show them that their industry and your career goals are in sync.Question 8: What are your aspirations beyond this job?Again, dont fall into the trap of specifying job titles. Stick to a natural progression you see as plausible. How should this job grow for the good of the organization? T
