Job hunters have to be sharp at
the interview. With the accessibility of information, there is no excuse for arriving
ill-prepared.Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO advises, “Applicants should anticipate
frequently asked questions, and be ready with suitable answers. Sometimes,
interviewers pose tricky questions just to test how prospects handle pressure.”
She dishes out sample questions that
can put one off guard, with tips on how to answer:
1. What
kind of boss and associates do you find easiest or most difficult to get along
with?
Always begin an
answer in a positive light. Say that you are able to adjust with differing
personalities, and that you get along best with a boss and associates who
communicate clearly, are positive, andable to set, clear, realistic
expectations that support the work.
2. Why
do you want to leave your job?
Avoid
bad-mouthing your boss, or anyone for that matter. Rather, say it is time to
move on to greater challenges that suit your goals and skills-set.
3. What
are your weaknesses?
Point out
shortcomings that will have no bearing to the work you are applying for.
4. What
interests you about this job/organization?
Do your
homework, and browse the company’s profile before you go for your interview.
Your interest in the company and the job is being tested, so be ready with information
gathered about the company, its industry, and your regard for these.
