sampel 3* Sample Job Interview Questions Kelly Services wants to help you successfully advance your career objectives. We've spent more than 60 years interviewing and being interviewed and have compiled a list of the top 18 most common job interview questions and effective, appropriate responses. Be prepared, be yourself and make sure you're ready to answer some tough questions.

Job Interview Questions 1 "Tell me about yourself..." Be prepared to talk for two minutes about yourself. Be logical. Start anywhere, such as high school, college or your first professional position. The interviewer is trying to evaluate your communication skills and linear thinking. You may try to score a point or two by describing a major personal attribute.

Job Interview Questions 2 "Why are you leaving your current position?" This is a very critical question. Don't bad mouth your previous employer or co-workers or sound too opportunistic. It's fine to mention major problems, a buy-out or a shutdown. You may want to state that after long personal consideration, your chance to make a contribution is very low due to extensive company-wide changes.

Job Interview Questions 3 "What do you consider your most significant accomplishment?" A good answer to this question can get you the job. Prepare extensively—discuss hard work, long hours, pressure and important company issues at stake. You may want to tell a two minute detailed story, discussing personal involvement.

Job Interview Questions 4 "Why do you believe you are qualified for this position?"

Pick two or three main factors about the job and about yourself that are most relevant. Discuss for two minutes, including specific details. You may mention a technical skill, a management skill and/or a personal success story.

Job Interview Questions 5 "Have you ever accomplished something you didn't think you could?" The interviewer is trying to determine your goal orientation, work ethic, personal commitment and integrity. Prepare a good example where you overcame difficulties and succeeded. Prove that you're not a quitter.

Job Interview Questions 6 "What do you like/dislike most about your current or last position?" The interviewer is trying to determine compatibility with the open position. Be careful; don't say you dislike overtime, like management, or get too detailed. It's safe to say that you like challenges, pressure situations, opportunities to grow, or that you dislike bureaucracy and frustrating situations.

Job Interview Questions 7 "How do you handle pressure? Do you like or dislike these situations?" High achievers tend to perform well in high-pressure situations. Conversely, these questions could imply that the open position is pressure-packed and out of control. Know what you're getting into. If you do perform well under stress, provide a good, detailed example. Be descriptive.

Job Interview Questions 8 "The sign of a good employee is the ability to take initiative. Can you describe a situation where you did this?" The proactive, results-oriented person doesn't have to be told what to do. To convince the interviewer you possess this trait, give a series of short examples describing your selfmotivation. Discuss one example in-depth, describing the extra effort, your strong work ethic and your creative, resourceful side.

Job Interview Questions 9 "What was the worst/most embarrassing situation of your career? How would you have done things differently with 20/20 hindsight?" Your interviewer wants to know how introspective you are, and to see if you can learn from your mistakes. Don't be afraid to talk candidly about your failures, especially if you learned something significant from them.

Job Interview Questions 10 "How have you grown or changed over the past few years?" Maturation, increased technical skills and increased self-confidence are important developmental aspects. To discuss these effectively is indicative of a well-balanced, intelligent individual. Overcoming personal obstacles or recognising manageable weaknesses can help identify you as an approachable and desirable employee.

Job Interview Questions 11 "What do you consider your most significant strength?" Know your key five or six strengths—the ones most compatible with the job opening. Discuss each with specific examples. Don't include your management or interpersonal skills unless you can describe specific examples of good management, or how your relationship skills have been critical to your success.

Job Interview Questions 12 "Deadlines, frustrations, difficult people and silly rules can make a job difficult. How do you handle these types of situations?" Most companies, unfortunately, face these problems daily. If you can't deal with petty problems, you'll be seen as uncooperative. How you overcome these are important. Diplomacy, perseverance and common sense will prevail in difficult circumstances.

Job Interview Questions 13 "One of our biggest problems is… What has been your experience with this? How would you deal with it?"

Think on your feet. Ask questions to get more details and break the problem into subsections. It is highly likely that you will have had some experience dealing with the subsections. Answer these and summarise the total. If you can't answer directly, state how you would go about solving the problem. Be specific and show your organisational and analytical skills.

Job Interview Questions 14 "How has your technical ability been important in accomplishing results?" A potential employee needs a strong level of technical competence. Most strong managers have good technical backgrounds. Describe specific examples of your technical abilities, and how you resolved a technical issue.

Job Interview Questions 15 "How would you handle a situation with tight deadlines, low employee morale and inadequate resources?" Your interviewer is looking for strong management skills. You need to be creative and describe your toughest management task, even if it doesn't meet all the criteria. Most situations don't. Organisational and interpersonal skills, handling pressure and good handling of this question are indicative of effective management skills.

Job Interview Questions 16 "Are you satisfied with your career to date? What would you change if you could?" Be honest. The interviewer wants to know if you'll be happy. Are you willing to make some sacrifices to get your career on the right track? Your degree of motivation is an important selection factor.

Job Interview Questions 17 "What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself five or ten years from now?" Be realistic! Pie-in-the-sky goals label you as immature. One or two management jumps in 3-5 years is a reasonable goal. If your track record indicates you're in line for senior management in 10 years, then mention it. If you've had a rocky road, be introspective.

Job Interview Questions 18 "Why should we hire you for this position? What kinds of contributions would you make?" This is a good chance to summarise. By now, you should know the key problems. Restate and show how you would address them. Don't be arrogant—instead demonstrate a thoughtful, organised and strong attitude.

Fay: Hi Jerry. I'm thinking of applying for a job with a multinational company, but I'm worried about having an interview in English. Can you give me any good tips? Jerry: Hmmm. That's a tough one. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good impression. We often say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression". You really need to get off to a good start. Fay: That sounds like good advice. Maybe I could sing and dance for them, ha ha ha! Then they'd really be impressed! But seriously, how do I make a good first impression? Jerry: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer's hand while greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially when listening to the interviewer. Fay: Ah, "body language" is really important, isn't it? Jerry: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence from being prepared. You should learn a little bit about the company before the interview. Find out what they do, how long they've been in business, what their business motto is, that kind of thing. You should also anticipate possible questions, and think about how you will answer. Fay: Should I memorize my answers beforehand? Jerry: No! Definitely not! That sounds very mechanical. You should be natural when you speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right words at the time of the interview. That way, you can use the interviewer's own words in your answer, which shows you've been listening. Then you're sure to make a good impression. Fay: I never thought about that before. You're really smart, Jerry! But what should I do if I can't remember an English word when I'm answering a question? Jerry: In that case, you have to paraphrase. In other words, you have to explain what you want to say. For example, if you forget the word "manufacturing", you can say "making a product" instead. Or instead of "statistics" you could say "using many big numbers to describe something". Fay: That's very helpful, Jerry. Thanks so much. Ah, one more thing. Should I ask about the salary during the interview? Jerry: No, either let them bring up the topic of money, or else wait for a second interview. If you prepare well, make a good first impression, have confidence, and use English naturally, you're almost certain to be interviewed again. Good luck!

I was reading it only yesterday. Now, where is it....ah, here it is, here we are. Pia Grandez, 26 years old, born in Rome...hmmm...ok, let's see. Where did you hear about Rosco International? Pia: My brother worked for you a couple of years ago and has always spoken well of you. John: Mikael Gomez, yes I remember him. How long did he work here for? Pia: I think it was about 10 months. Now he's living in the UK. He's been working for a magazine in London for around a year. John: You'll say "hi" to him from me, won't you? Pia: OK, sure. John: Now, tell me something about your work experience Pia. Pia: Well, I worked in the offices of my mother's company when I left university. John: And what sort of company does your mother run? Pia: It's a caterers. She does the catering for weddings, graduations, funerals, that type of thing.

John: And how long did you work there for? Pia: About a year or so. They put me on the phones and I was also responsible for all the advertising and our leaflets, business cards and the website. John: So you didn't do any of the cooking? Pia: No ...they kept me a long way from the kitchen. John: So what did you do after that? Pia: Well, I traveled for a little while, mostly in Europe and a little in South America. John: How long did you go traveling for? Pia: Oh, it wasn't too long. Maybe about six months. I had a job that was going to start at the end of the year so I had about six months free, so I though "why not?". John: Did you have any problems with the languages where you went? Pia: Not really. I speak Italian and Spanish quite well.... John: Oh yes, it's written here on your resume, isn't it? How long have you been studying those languages? Pia: Well, my father is Italian so I am fluent in Italian. I have studied Spanish for about seven years so I can get by pretty well in that too. John: Actually, we do have a lot of business with Sicily so your Italian could be really important. Pia: I would really like the chance to use my Italian for work. John: What did you do when you came back from your travels? Pia: Well, as I said before, I already had another job lined up and that was in a small shoe company just outside town. John: Err...Bradley Footwear, it's called, isn't it? Pia: Bradford Footwear. John: Ah yes, here it is. It says here you worked in their sales department. How long did you do that for? Pia: I was there for three years and I worked in the sales department for two of those three years.

John: Did you enjoy the work? Pia: Well, it was fun at the beginning, but it's not a very large company and they only have a few customers in the region, so it got pretty repetitive after a while. That's why working for an international company like yourselves would really interest me. John: OK, let's go and get a cup of coffee and we can continue this conversation afterwards.
