Ten Commonly Asked Interview Questions

and Tips on How to Answer

1. Tell me about yourself. Tip -Talk about a couple of your key achievements
and the interviewer will likely select an accomplishment and ask you to tell
more about it.

2. What is your greatest strength? Tip - Figure out what your number one
strength or skill is, then talk briefly about it and provide a good example.
Before going into an interview, write down several of your top strengths and
examples of each.

3. Can you describe a situation in your past where you learned from a mistake?
Tip - The best mistakes to share are those from which you learned
something. Use your mistakes to show how you have matured and grown.

4. What is the most difficult situation you have ever faced? Tip - Pick an
example in which you successfully resolved a tough situation. Tell your story
briefly but try to reveal as many good qualities as possible. Your interviewer
wants to hear about qualities such as perseverance, good judgment and
maturity.

5. Is there anything you would like to improve about yourself? Tip - Pick a
weakness (for example, not being comfortable with public speaking or even
oral presentations in the class), then show how you're working to improve it
(being part of a debating team). Your goal here is to provide a short answer
that satisfies the interviewer.

6. What is the most important thing you are looking for in a job? Tip - Figure
out what you want most in a job. You might value challenge, good working
conditions, or friendly co-workers. Talk about one or two items and explain
why they are important to you.

7. What are your career goals? Tip - The interviewer likes to see if you are a
person that plans your future and if you might be someone that would meet
the company's needs after you finish school. Your task is to talk about the
goals that you think the company can help you achieve. You score points if
you leave the impression you are a growth-oriented person with realistic
expectations. As a teenager, you may be working to earn spending money or
to pay for a car and gas. That shows initiative and planning.
8. What motivates you? Tip - Challenge, creativity, success, opportunity and
personal growth are most frequently mentioned. You can also mention
specific skills that you are motivated to use, such as problem solving,
decision-making, listening, writing, speaking, planning or counseling people.

9. Why would you like to work for us? Tip - This is a great opportunity to
impress the interviewer with what you know about their organization. Talk
about the positives of their organization.

10. Why should I hire you? Tip - This is a great opportunity to sell you. Talk
about your strengths and how they fit the needs of the company. You can
briefly talk about skills or strengths that haven't already been discussed.
