Best Answer:
- Can you tell me something about yourself?
This is the probably the most terrifying interview questions of all time and the most difficult to answer as well. As an applicant for a certain job, you’d be wondering what the employer wants to know. What’s the point of asking this kind of question? I suggest that you should relax and think of this situation as a great opportunity to impress your employer. Well, the technique here is you should answer them with something that supports your career goals. It would be better if you tell them something relevant about your qualifications and employment history.
- What are your strengths?
Should highlight accomplishments and experiences that relate to the position for which you are applying. Also give examples of situations where your strengths have been demonstrated.
Your strength needs to be based on reality and should be strong. This is your chance to shine, to bring your best qualities and abilities to the attention of the interviewers. Saying you’re quite good at working in a team won’t cut any ice. You must illustrate your team-working skills with an impressive example, something the panel will remember when they come to make their decision.
- What are your weaknesses?
Should not be a list of deficiencies. Don't mention anything that could make the interviewer question your ability to do the job, for example "I am always late for everything." Instead, discuss a weakness that could also be a strength such as "I am a workaholic!"}
- Why do you want to work in our company?
Here you should be specific in your answer. There may be thousands of firms with positions to offer, but it is now a question of “why us”?
Research the firm as best you can. Phone book ads often contain great information, such as how long a firm has been in business, what it specializes in, who are the key members of the firm, and whom they hope to serve.
Depending upon what you learn at the library, and from other local sources, possible answers might be:
"You have an expanding firm, and I believe there will be opportunities for me to prove myself and grow with you,” or
"Your firm is one of the oldest and most respected in our community, and I want to learn from, and be associated with one of the best,” or
"I believe you will reward people according to their value to the firm, and I am willing to prove my value to you,” or finally
"Your specialty happens to be my area of career interest.”
- Why do you want to leave your current job?
You need to think carefully about this one, as employers don’t want to think that you hop from job to job, get bored quickly or are more interested in your after work activities. If there is an obvious reason, such as the end of your contract, redundancy, or you are moving to a different area, say so. Many people are reluctant to say that they have been made redundant, but remember that it’s the post which has been redundant, not you. Also no matter how terrible your present job, the interview is not the time to discuss it. You must be professional and don’t forget, if you are offered the position, the people interviewing you will be your boss and colleagues and they don't want to work with someone who will complain about them at the first opportunity.
Interview questions are very tricky and you should be more careful in answering them. Your future career relies on how you deliver your answers. Respond appropriately, just relax and be yourself.
