Try to think about what the interviewers are looking for and keep this in mind as you answer interview questions. Remember the job advert? Were they looking for initiative, a good communicator, someone with good attention to detail? Describe yourself in these terms. Start with \am..\and not with \think...\or \believe..\so that you sound self aware and confident. -----------------------------------------------------------
When you're interviewing for an internal position within your company, you may be asked what you will do if you don't get the job. The interviewer wants to know whether you are concerned about just the advancement opportunity or the company. 内部职位竞聘常会被问到如果你没有得到这份工作的话你将会怎么办的问题。 最佳答案
I am committed to this company and its advancement so, should I not be selected, I will work with and support whoever might get selected. However, I do feel that my experience in the department and with the team would make me the best candidate
How would your boss describe you?
If you get the job, your interviewer may be your future boss so you need to answer this question carefully. Describe yourself as any boss would want to see you. You might say:
\boss would describe me as hard working, loyal, friendly and committed. He would say that I work well on my own initiative and deliver what he wants on time and to a high standard\
Again, don’t use the term “I think my boss would say..” as it gives an element of doubt. Be positive and certain with the interview answer you give.
* What motivates you?
I am motivated by being around other positive people, we might question if working alone would suit them. I am motivated by targets.
* What do you look for in a job?
This is really a question about suitability, though we've included it here.
Remember the advert? Focus on the advert criteria and you won't go far wrong. For example, if the advert called for someone to lead others, you might say:
\like a job where I can lead and motivate others and enjoy seeing improvements in team performance\.
If the advert called for a target-focused individual, you might say:
\like having targets. They encourage me to stretch myself and beat them!\
* What is your personal mission statement or motto?
Not everyone has one, but because you might be asked, think what yours would be.
\do it!\
\first time, every time\ \talk, more action\
\others as you'd wish to be treated\. \favours the brave\ \quality, quality...\.
Our advice: This is one of those times when we ask candidates to explain their answers to our interview questions. So, whatever you say, it's likely you'll be asked to give a reason or example so have one in mind. For most jobs, you want to sound positive and motivated, but possibly not ruthless or inconsiderate.
* What do you enjoy most about what you do now?
\really enjoy the technical nature of the job and the speed at which I'm able to fix faults. I get a lot of satisfaction from getting people back to work as soon as possible\
If working as part of a team is mentioned as a requirement of the job, you might answer:
\really enjoy being part of a team. I like it when the team pulls together to achieve something and everyone can take some credit\.
* What do you enjoy least about your current role?
A good interview answer might go something like this:
\I enjoy everything about what I do. I suppose if I had to give something up, it would be...\
The 'something' depends on you, but it's best to mention something incidental to your job, like admin or paperwork. So you might say:
\not sure (pause). I suppose if I had to pick something to give up it would be paperwork. I know it's important, and I do it well, but if someone else did if for me, that would be great!\
* Why do you want to leave your current job/company?
If you're applying for a more senior job, you might answer:
\really enjoy what I do, but I'm ready for more responsibility and challenge which your job offers. Unfortunately, my current job/employer can't give me this.\
If this isn't the reason, use yours instead, but always be positive in your answers to tough interview question
* What do you think of your current boss?
\current boss is great. He sets the team challenging but realistic targets and motivates us to achieve them...\
\current boss is very good. She deals with her team firmly but fairly and enjoys our respect because of this...\
If your current boss is not great, and you are prepared to answer more interview questions about this, say so, but do balance each criticism with a positive point. Remember the need to appear positive in your answers to interview questions. You might say:
\current boss has strengths and weaknesses. He is very good at listening to people but sometimes, in my view, doesn't deal with underperformers firmly enough. This affects team morale sometimes...\
* What will you miss about your present job?
People is the best interview answer here. Say anything else and you're suggesting the job you're applying for won't give you everything you had and more, and might even leave you wanting!
As you think about answers to interview questions, always have in mind the need to create a positive impression.
\I'm confident that the job you're offering will give me everything I have now and more so I don't think I'll miss anything about the job itself. But I'll miss some of the people of course...\
* What can you tell me about XYZ Company?
If you need to, start by saying \it ok if I refer to my notes?\When you get the nod, off you go.
A good interview answer should include short factual statements covering such things as the Company's history, its products, staff numbers, turnover and future business objectives. Something like this is fine:
\believe the Company began in 1967, with just one outlet, but now has 25. From what I've read, you sell A, B and C products across Europe and the States and have a turnover in excess of $5 million. You employ 125 staff. I beleive you hope to enter the Asian market by 2010\. \done some research and can tell you more if you like\
You will likely hear \that's fine. Thank you.\
Your interviewers will be impressed that you prepared and made notes and you're off to a good start.
* What do you think XYZ Company can offer you?
There are two bits to this interview question, the role and the Company. Mention both. You might say:
\told the Company has a firm commitment to individual training and development. This is great news for me because I'm keen to learn and advance in the Company. The role itself appears challenging and rewarding which I'll find very motivating\
* If you're successful, what do you think you'll be doing day-to-day?
You might start by saying %understand that I'll be...\. Then you could talk about the main role, any other activities and any targets you expect to be given.
What are your strengths/weaknesses?
IMPORTANT -- this common job interview question can be asked in many different ways, such as \qualities do you admire in others that you would like to develop in yourself?\
Strengths should be easy enough to think about (keep the position in mind).
Talking about weaknesses can be harder but good interview answers are still possible. Many people choose to mention something which they've recognized as being a weakness but have overcome.
