Interview Questions to Prep for
?
As a minimum, go prepared to answer 3 questions:? 1)? Why you?? 2)? Why us?? 3)? And do you have any questions?
1.? Why you?? Why should we be interested in you?? What do you have to offer?? What skills/strengths/expertise can you bring to the role?
Prepare examples of your “strengths in action”.? Here’s an example of how it might sound in an interview:
I perceive* my greatest strength for this role would be that I am a revenue generator.
Probably* one of my better examples would be when I worked as a Sales Rep., from 1992 to 1997 at Sales Inc. (situation).? My job was to sell training courses to SMEs in the UK market and I chose to target sales rep’s in the pharmaceutical sector (action).? I successfully acquired 5 key accounts, and in doing so generated 68k in revenue over 3 quarters (result).
I think* I was successful because I researched my target market, I know my products and I try get the potential client in front of me or on the phone to do most of the talking.
Another of my strengths is that I am strong in client management.? The best example of this that I have is…
I am also process-oriented…
The following is the action of writing the structure of advantages:
a)? Name the strength.
2) to a strength, for example, the use of STAR: The Star representative: the situation and tasks, take action, the results of
c) to explain the power behind your approach: in explaining the secret behind the strength of your measure of the interest of your interviewer. Chances are, if your name and management of an operation strenghts couple, for example, you are doing great already.
* Use moderate and suggestive language. Do not know-it-all who says that he has super-heroic powers. Instead it shall be your strength.
To prepare for your dream job behind the trick – the first update times to prepare for interviews, and edit your resume accordingly. What are the strengths highlighted in the interview you want, and you want, please highlight in your resume.
2.? Why us?? Why are you interested in this company/role??
Research the company.? Look at company’s website for the company’s current CEO? ? annual revenue? ? mission statement? ? products, emerging products ? culture, etc.
Research the position.? Why do you think you would be suitable for this position? Why should we pick you?? Look at the job spec and job spec’s for the same position at different companies.
?
3.? Prepare 3-5 questions for the interviewer :
Your questions to confirm your interest in the position. Not asking questions if the answer is on the website. Do not ask salary and benefits that are brought up these issues by the employer. Possible questions could be the kind of person they are looking for the focus, the work itself and / or opened:
Ideal candidate:? What are the most important qualities are you looking for in a candidate? Can you describe an ideal individual for this position?
Actual job:? What are the day-to-day expectations and responsibilities of this job?? How will my responsibilities and performance be measured? By whom?
