وان شاء الله تفيدكم
Questions start the minute the interview does, and to show that you are
an exceptional candidate, you need to be prepared to answer not only the typical questions, but also the unexpected.
You can expect questions
regarding your qualifications, your academic preparation, career
interests, experience, and ones that assess your personality.
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.
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 of your 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.

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 between others.
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
