These are some of the most commonly asked questions. Even
these “boring, standard questions” can have unique and useful smart answers. Read these questions and sample answers in this article, and think carefully about how you would answer each when asked.
Â
Top recruiter Jeff Lipschultz shares his tips on how to answer these questions in a way that makes you memorable in a positive way. Each question also links to an article with more details about how to be well-prepared and provide the best answers as 3 of those articles, below, demonstrate.
Impress Employers with Your Fabulous
Resume
This is a critical question because it will show your
success, self-confidence, and preparation. Employers take this question very seriously, and you should, too. In this answer, do double-time by selling yourself and by demonstrating your knowledge of the company.
Â
Your answer to this question should focus on them, not on you! You are the seller in this situation, not the buyer. So, you need to focus on the benefits (more than one!) to this buyer. Best selling author and job interview expert Laura Decarlo offers advice on what to avoid and how to answer successfully, including sample answers, in this article.
When you are asked this innocent-sounding question, you
must have a strong, relevant answer. Your answer should demonstrate your knowledge of the company and the skills, talents, experience, and strengths you have that are a match for their culture and the targeted position/department.
Â
Put your answer together based on your research and your interest in the job. Don't be insincere, but do demonstrate both your interest and your research. Follow job interview expert Laura DeCarlo's advice on how to prepare and answer this question successfully, including sample answers.
This seems like a simple question to answer, but, in
reality, answering appropriately takes time, effort, and information, especially if you are currently employed. Do NOT see this question as the guarantee of a job offer!
Â
The best idea is to know in advance when you could start IF they offered you the job in this interview (it won't happen, but be prepared, just in case). If you are employed, you must (MUST!) give your current employer appropriate notice. If you are unemployed, you may need to reschedule some important events. Check out the ideas in this article by Job-Hunt's editor Susan P.
Joyce.
