Attached are a few questions to be prepared for during the interview process. It's important to be at your best and it's necessary to pay attention. Pay attention and listen carefully to each and every question asked, for it is critical.


It is very important to keep your responses brief, simple, and to the point. It is also very necessary to demonstrate great listening skills and pay attention. Stay focused, and provide clear direct answers. Most interviewers have questions which were set up in advance and have a certain time frame in which to cover. Do not over-explain your responses. Keep in mind that "less is more".


What is your background?
Where did you grow up?
Which schools did you attend?:


Respond by speaking about the highlights in your life and career, be concise, and remember to avoid extreme details. It is also important to not shift away from the subject or go onto another tangent. List between 6 and 10 quantifiable achievements. Be prepared to speak briefly about each, and speak with confidence. Your confidence will radiate positive energy and attract the interviewer to you. They will become more interested in you.


What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Where do you perform well and where do you need to improve?


These questions should not be difficult to answer. Take time in advance to examine your strengths, and prepare yourself to discuss your achievements in detail. The questions should not be tough to answer because you are speaking about yourself. Make sure that you also add how your strengths may have helped in solving an issue or problem.


When addressing or discussing the weaknesses, do so carefully. Let the employer know that you have taken steps toward correcting your weakness, or how you are managing your weaknesses. If you've had experience in overcoming an overwhelming situation, you definitely need to share that information with the hiring managers. It is important to send the message that you are able, confident, and competent enough to handle each task. You must also send the message that you are humble and willing to improve in necessary areas.


Why are you looking for in your next opportunity?
What are you looking for in a career?


Be honest and quickly state your purpose. A few tips/examples are:


1. I was referred through a friend

2. I saw your ad in the newspaper

3. I saw it online

4. A recruiter called me

5. The company is downsizing or has already announced layoffs

6. I'm interested in advancement opportunities and I was told that you are an outstanding company to work for.

7. I'm interested in a company that takes care of it's own.

8. I'm attracted to your company because your employees love to work here.

9. I'm interested in your company because of it's reputation for integrity and honesty. I'm attracted to a company with high standards and emphasis upon personal growth.


You could provide other reasons but do not say anything negative about your current/former employer or company


Where would you like to be in terms of income?
What are your salary/wage expectations?
How much money are you looking to earn?


Let the employer know that you are more interested in an opportunity for growth and advancement. This should be expressed. I would not recommend that anyone quote an income. Let hiring manager know what you are currently earning, but that you are focused on a position where you can demonstrate your strengths and help the company grow. There are factors that can determine whether or not a candidate will accept a lower paying position (i.e. commute/ time with family), so it's important to have a clear idea of the wages prior to applying to the position. When you have an understanding of the compensation or the salary range, you can determine how flexible you are. You will also save yourself a lot of time, energy, and money.


Why did you leave certain jobs?


Give an honest answer. On a side note, if you have left because of performance issues, this could work against you. Get character references to assist you. References are an invaluable tool.


Where would you like to be in the next 3 years? 5 years? 10 years?


If you are serious about this new position, and you are excited, you definitely need to express that enthusiasm and interest, and share that with the hiring managers. You have to let them know that you want to grow with the company and explain how your accomplishments and abilities can prove to be a valuable asset to the company moving forward.


How much do you know about this company?


Perform your due diligence. Learn as much as you can about the company and the position you are applying for. Go online or use library references to gather that information.


Take the opportunity to relate your personal experiences to each specific question. Let the interviewer know that you've been in similar situations and explain how you were able to create solutions. This will show the employer that you can add values and also help the company reach its objectives. The more interest you show in the company, the more interested the hiring management team becomes in you. If you are able to resolve problems and can provide examples of how you performed and accomplished those tasks, the more impressed the hiring managers are. If you can back up your information with strong professional references, you should be well on you way to receiving an offer.


Why do you want to work here?


This should have been listed near the top of the list. It may be a good idea to list your interests in advance because the answers could be endless. There are so many variables involved in the hiring process (i.e. opportunity, family, wages, commute) and on many occasions, the candidate gets nervous, frustrated, or anxious and cannot decide how to answer this question. I believe that you should always focus upon the opportunity to be a part of the company and make them aware that you have skills and experience and enthusiasm to bring to the table. If you can show them that you have value to add to the company, you will increase your chances of being considered the best candidate for the position.
