Too many job seekers stumble through interviews as if the questions are coming out of left field. But many interview questions are to be expected. Study this list and plan your answers ahead of time so you'll be ready to deliver them with confidence. \n\n1.What Are Your Weaknesses? \n\nThis is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional traits: "I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter.." \n\n2.Why Should We Hire You? \n\nSummarize your experiences: "With XXXXX  years' experience working in the XXXXX industry and my proven record, I could make a big difference in your company. I'm confident I would be a great addition to your team." \n\n3.Why Do You Want to Work Here? \n\nThe interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you've given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, "I've selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list of desirable choices." \n\n4.What Are Your Goals? \n\nSometimes it's best to talk about short-term and intermediate goals rather than locking yourself into the distant future. For example, "My immediate goal is to get a job in a growth-oriented company. My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes. I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility." \n\n5.Why Did You Leave (Or Why Are You Leaving) Your Job? \n\nIf you're unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: "I managed to survive two rounds of corporate downsizing, but the third round was a 20 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me." \n\nIf you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: "After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience." \n\n6.When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job? \n\nThe interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. "I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked directly with the customers and their problems; that is an important part of the job for me." \n\n7.What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't? \n\nWhat makes you unique? This will take an assessment of your experiences, skills and traits. Summarize concisely: "I have a unique combination of strong technical skills, and the ability to build strong customer relationships. This allows me to use my knowledge and break down information to be more user-friendly." \n\n8.What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You? \n\nIt's time to pull out your old performance appraisals and boss's quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else's words: "My boss has told me that I am the best XXXXXX  he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humour." \n\n9.What Salary Are You Seeking? \n\nIt is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in your area, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: "I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?" \n\n10.If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be? \n\nInterviewers use this type of psychological question to see if you can think quickly. If you answer "a bunny," you will make a soft, passive impression. If you answer "a lion," you will be seen as aggressive. What type of personality would it take to get the job don

First, pick a job - something you are personally interested in.  Then ask yourself, what would you want to know about someone if you were going to hire him/her for the job.\n\nFirst, of course, you want to know their biographical information:  Name, address, etc.\n\nThen what?  What do you think is important?  Education?  Relevant experience?  Current job?  Past work experience?  Volunteer work?  References?  Hobbies?  Why is the applicant is interested in the job?  What else can you think of that would apply?  Military history?  Citizenship?

The best way to prepare for an interview is to tell stories and share experiences.  Review and know the things that you have put on your resume or job application.  That is the starting point.  Now during your interview expand on the information that you have already provided to your potential new employer.  Provide examples of how you may have handled a problem with an co-worker, or resolved a business process within your department.  Find examples that started out negative but you turned into a positive.  Be specific during the interview on how you accomplished the positive.  Examples would be a negative customer(external/internal) that you helped turn into a positive.  A good thing would be to write all this down and then review your notes before going in for the interview.  Be as detailed as possible during the interview.  And one good question to ask before you wrap things up is, "What kind of individual are you looking for to fill this position?"  This question is hardly ever asked.  What it allows is for you to hit on any points that you may have missed while you were interviewing.  You make a mental checklist while they tell you who they are looking for.  This little bit of preparation will help you ace that interview.

Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy. \n\nQuestion 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is.  IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions. \n\nStrength and weaknesses:  Those are always the tough questions.  Who wants to admit they are weak? \n\nThis give the interviewer an idea of personality. \n\nTake a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.

I've conducted about 500 interviews on candidates and what we are looking for is\n1) Integrity\n2) Honesty\n3) Can do attitude\n4) A person that is effective\n5) the person who is likely to be the most successful in a position.\n\nThat being said, in the case of asking what is your weakness, tell the interviewer something that is a weakness of yours, but follow up by stating what you are doing to overcome that weakness.\n\nFor instance, one of the people mentioned procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, share what you are doing to ensure you will get things done on time.\n\nPeople who answer this question without admitting to any type of weakness are quickly bypassed by me because they have just shot their credibility with me. If they cannot admit they have any type of a weakness, this is a signal to me that this person will never admit when they make a mistake and will avoid the truth. They also may have difficulty working in a team setting because they sound like they have an ego problem.\n\nSo your best bet is to answer this honestly.\n\nLying may get you the job, but if you lie on the interview and the find out, they can terminate you, or at the least, you have damaged your credibility.

if you're talking about a job interview, then you must remember that interviewers only want to know three things.\n\n1) Can you do the job?\n\n2) Will you do the job?\n\n3) Will you fit in?\n\nAlso, try and show some interest in the company. For example, ask if there are any big projects on the horizon.\n\nIf you bear these in mind when answering questions, you will be on the way to success!

Have some one practice interview with you. You need to be comfortable talking about yourself. Also have question ready to ask them.

When an interviewer asks that question they are giving you the oppurtunity to really sell yourself.  They want to know what is going to set you apart from everyone else that has been interviewed.  Use it as a way to really play up your good qualities.

If it is for interview (for any company, really), state:\nwhen, how and how often you've used their product/service in the past, and what you thought of the experience. Highlight areas that you were either impressed with, or would like to improve.\n\nThen proceed to what you want to offer, e.g. as a Circuit City employee, I'd like to help the customer find what they are looking for, and leave as a satisfied customer.\n\nGood luck!

When I, as an HR Director, ask an individual to tell him about him or herself, I am looking to see where they go with the question.  Honestly, I am NOT looking to hear about friend, family, vacations, hobbies, or interests.  I AM looking to something to give me a clue as to how this complete stranger sitting in front of me will fit in on our team.  I want to hear that they are committed/dedicated to an employer, I NEED to hear that they are dependable, I really want to hear that they are a team player.\n\nTypically the "Tell me about yourself" question is the first thing an interviewer will ask.  It is the interviewee's first opportunity to shine!  Often times at this end of this question I have made my decision.

As an employer my answer is to be upfront and honest about it.  Depending on the reasons why it may or may not matter.  If your employer finds out later, odds are you will be fired.  What is going to matter the most is how you present yourself in your interview.

I guess I will lay out anything I know, from school and work experience or even from real life experience, then lay out what I am good at, ask your family and close friend why do they love you, what is good about you to them, ask your previous schoolmate and co-worker, employer, what it is like to work with you, after doing that you should be well prepare for any interview.  Remember, you must know about yourself before you can introduce yourself to the others.  The only, in job interview, don't go too personal, and don't complain about anything about your past experience.

Have a real story about a job experience that makes you look good.  You can describe how you helped a customer that did not understand how something worked.  This allows the interviewer to see some of your personality and relates to the job.  A good combination that will separate you from the other candidates.
