Interview questions may vary but in essence they are all trying to establish the following:
This question or something similar usually starts every interview. Your answer should be well-rehearsed, confidently delivered and last between 3-5 minutes. It should also:
- Focus on the areas of most relevance to the job in question
- Include some impressive achievements.
e.g. improvements made
- Convey your enthusiasm for the job
- Avoid personal or irrelevant information.
e.g. your children, un-related jobs
Your answer should be positive and upbeat even if the circumstances were difficult. If you were made redundant, depersonalise it by talking about company restructuring rather than your individual circumstance. Never criticise a previous employer no matter how tempting.
Choose a weakness that:
- Doesn't matter for the job.
e.g. languages for a UK firm.
- Is a positive.
e.g. "I like to make things happen and get frustrated if too long is spent sitting around discussing it without action."
- Used to be a weakness but which you have improved upon.
e.g. presentations
Your answer should be positive and upbeat even if the circumstances were difficult. If you were made redundant, depersonalise it by talking about company restructuring rather than your individual circumstance. Never criticise a previous employer no matter how tempting.
Your answer should reinforce why you are such a good fit for the job and then convey your enthusiasm for the role. e.g.
- Good match between your skills and their requirements.
- Interested in the product / market / sector.
- Company's excellent reputation, exciting challenge etc.
- Do not say (even if it's true) that you just need a job, or you want it because it's local.
They are testing how you cope under pressure as well as your problem-solving and communication skills. Good examples are where you:
- Helped resolve or improve a difficult situation.
- Were resilient in adverse conditions
- Showed emotional intelligence and cool-headedness.
- Avoid any examples which still feel sensitive, because in a high-pressure interview situation, old emotions can easily resurface and throw you off balance.
Choose work-related examples that shows a tangible benefit to the business. Personal achievements should only be included if they are very impressive or prestigous. More experienced candidates looking for a specific roles eg Sales Director Jobs should focus on closely related areas.
e.g. driving an increase in sales or building a successful sales team.
They are checking if you are likely to stay and if so, for how long. Reassure the employer that the role you are applying for fits your career plan and your longer term commitment to the company.
Salary negotiations are best handled at the job offer stage so try to avoid this at interview if you can. If forced to name a price, give a realistic but wide salary range and say that you feel that salary won't be an issue if you decide to work together.
You need to know the following:
- Company structure, finances, products and services, key staff;
- Customers and competitors;
- Market trends and challenges.
