These are some of the most common questions who will get asked in interviews.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Briefly tell the interviewer some highlights of your life so far. Say things that will liken your chances of being successful in the interview. Example: I come from a family of accountants, growing up in the family business; I left school and studied my diploma of accounting.
What are your strengths?
This is where you describe what you are best at - you need to persuade the interviewer that you are confident and know what your strengths are. Many jobs look for people with skills in team environment skills, administration skills, computer/technology skills, customer service skills, sales. Your strengths can also be things like being a hard worker and having a can-do attitude. All employers want their employees to have those skills.
What are your weaknesses?
This can be a tricky question - you don't want to make yourself sound bad. Some good examples are - In the past I have lacked self confidence but I am improving, or - I am shy, but once I get to know people come out of my shell in no time.
What makes you think you are the right person for this job?
Here you can use an example of a time in another job when you used similar skills and what the outcome was. For the last 2 years I have worked as an Administration assistant and have used my data entry and filing skills on a daily basis, and I have also learnt how to work as part of a team. This is why I am confident I fit this position.
What do you know about our company?
The internet is a great way to research companies. When you get asked this question, the interviewer wants to see that you have made an effort in finding out information.
You should find out -
How long the business has been running for?
What year did it open/start?
What their goals are?
Who their audience is?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Interviewers ask this question because they want to know if you are serious about this position with them or you are just using it until something better comes along. It is always best to say something like - In 5 years time I see myself making a long term commitment and am most interested in pursuing this position.
Do you have any questions for me?
This is an important question - the interviewer expects you to ask questions.
For example -
Are there possibilities that this role could take me to a higher position in the future?
Is there any training I will need to take part in?
When should I expect to hear from you?
