    Questions to prepare for:

    1. Tell me about yourself.


    TIP: The most often asked question in interviews. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to
    the position you are interviewing for.

    2. Why did you leave your last job?


    Never complain of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason
    such as a great opportunity.

    3. What experience do you have in this field?


    Talk about specifics that are relevant to the position. In case of little relevant experience, get as close as you can.

    4. What do you know about this organization?


    Do some research on the organization before the interview. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

    5. Why do you want to work for this organization?


    This should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
    important here.

    6. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
    Have some positive self-improvement activities handy to mention.

    7. What kind of salary are you looking to get?


    A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, “That’s
    a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?” If there’s no way out of showing your cards, say that it
    depends on the details of the job, and give a wide range.

    8. Are you a team player?


    Of course, you are a team player. Be sure to have examples ready to give good evidence of your team attitude.

    9. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
    You will do it when it is the right thing to do. You will protect the organization when an individual has created a harmful
    situation.

    10. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.


    You thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an example.

    11. Explain how you would be an asset (=a useful tool) to this organization
    Highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed.

    12. Why should we hire you?


    Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs.
