INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

If you have been on many interviews you will have noticed that you are asked the same questions over and over again or as we say "typical interview questions" so its important to have the right answers, you need to be ahead of the game at all times "you want to secure that job" Below is a list of some typical interview questions and answers.

Tell me a bit about yourself
you want to keep your answer tight do not wonder off in different directions, tell the interviewer your educational background and employment history, mention what you are excited about that is relevant to the position, this will give the interviewer a good impression of you and show them that you have thought about the question

Why have you chosen this company
This is a question where you have to do your research on the company and the position you are applying for before the interview, select a fact about the company that is suitable to your qualifications and experience and expand on it during the interview.

How long would you stay with the company
When applying for the job make sure you know what position the company is offering, if it is a temporary position make sure you let the interviewer know that you will stay until the temporary contract expires, the last thing an employer wants is to hire you and after a few days for you to leave. If the position is permanent mention the long service you held in other employment.

How do you work in a team environment
You want to show that you work well as part of a team, that you enjoy discussions and input on achieving the best possible solution for a project. You also want to let the interviewer know that you take instructions very well and are able to achieve the end result without having to be guided all the time. If you can add examples of working in a team from you previous positions explain them, but keep it short.

Liked or feared what best describes you
It is truly fine to answer the question with "neither of them" tell the interviewer you want respect above all else, this indicates that you are not afraid to lead a team.

Why should we hire you
Above all else focus on your strengths and what these strengths can bring to the company, mention your educational background and your employment experience, you can also say that you have enjoyed the interview very much and you feel that you would be a perfect fit for the company.

Do you have any questions
Never say NO to this question, saying no really shows a lack of interest in the company. Before the interview, come up with two questions to ask, also during the interview make a mental note on points the interviewer has mentioned that you would like them to expand upon.
