How to Answer Common interview Questions?
"An interview is a great opportunity
to reflect on your past accomplishments and future goals, Take the time
to review what you have done, where you want to go, be honest and to
the point. If you engage in conversation in a compelling, relevant and
positive way with your prospective employer, you'll give yourself the
best chance to land the job you want."
1.Tell me about yourself?
This question may be challenging because you need to find a good
balance between providing enough information about yourself, without
rambling. The key is to keep your answers focused on information
relevant
to the position.
2.What are your weaknesses?
This is one of the questions job seekers fear the most. The best way to
answer is by choosing a professional trait and explain how it can be an
advantage if well managed. When you identify a weakness, remind the
employer you are actively taking actions to correct it. For example, "I
used to have trouble with procrastination, now I have learned to write
down a list of things that I need to do, and keep a calendar to keep
track of deadlines."
3.What are your long-range career goals?
The employer wants to know if you can see yourself working for the
company on a long-term basis. Emphasize that you want to secure a
position that offers opportunities to grow, develop skills and take on
challenges and responsibilities. Do not indicate that you hope to start
your own business, change careers or are thinking of going back to
school full-time.
4.What’s your definition of success?
This is a challenging one for many a job hunter because success can be
subjective. You might think that success means landing this job and
working your way up in the company, but your employer wants to know why
you would be successful with the company. What would you be doing on a
day to day basis that would lead to success? You might talk about how
you maintain a strong work ethic, work with feedback from your boss and
peers, and maintain a high level of integrity at all times.
