Job Interview Questions You Must Know!!! by PallyG(m): 5:46pm On Mar 17, 2013
Today I bring to you some common interview questions and how to answer them. You guys know that moment when you are seated on that "hot seat" and those stern looking guys start to interrogate or to make it less harsh let’s say question you, what will make the difference is how prepared you are. So let’s prepare and be at an advantage. Study these questions and practice with the answers that follow. You can add yours and modify these answers too suit you.

Check these typical interview questions and think about how you would answer them.

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 any 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. Say something positive.!

7. What are your salary goals or expectations?
8. Compared to others with a similar background in your field, how would you rate yourself?

I bet you, sitting on the 'hot seat' is not funny at all.
