1. Tell me about you.

2. What do you know about our company?
Know products, size, income, reputation, image, goals, problems, management talent, management
style, people skills, history and philosophy. Don't say you do not know much ... you should state that
you would like to know more."
3. Why do you want to work for us?
"You wish to be part of a company project; you would like to solve a company problem; you can
make a definite contribution to specific company goals."
4. What can you do for us that someone else cannot? "Relate past experience that represents
success in solving previous employer problems that may be similar to those of the prospective
employer."
5. What do you look for in a job?
"Keep your answer opportunity-oriented. Talk about the opportunity to perform and be
recognized."
6. How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our firm?
Be realistic and say six months to one year. You may be overqualified or too experienced for the
position we have to offer. Strong companies need strong people; experienced executives are at a
premium today; the employer will get a faster return on investment because you have more
experience than required; a growing, energetic company rarely is unable to use its people talents.
Emphasize your interest in a a long-term association."
7. Why are you leaving your present job?
Stick to one response. Don't change answers during the interview. Give a 'group' answer if possible
- "Our office is closing". Another possible answer is "We agreed to disagree."
8. How do you feel about leaving all of your benefits?
"Concerned but not panicked."
9. Describe what you feel to be an ideal working environment.
"Where people are treated as fairly as possible."

10. How would you evaluate your present firm?

"An excellent company that afforded me many fine experiences." It is important not to bad mouth
past employers or bosses. Bad mouthing tends to reveal more about you than about those who are
the objects of your comments."
11. Why haven't you found a new position before now?
"Finding a job is easy but finding the right job is more difficult."
12. Had you thought of leaving your present position before: If so, what do you think held you
there?
"Challenge, but it's gone now."
13. If I spoke to your previous boss, what would she/he say are your greatest strengths and
weaknesses?
This 'threat of reference check' question almost always produces honesty but also perspiration. It is
important, in your response, to "be honest but not too negative."
14. What are your weak points?
Don't say you have none. Turn a negative into a positive answer: "I am sometimes impatient and I
get too deeply involved when we are late."
15. How much do you expect if we offer this position to you?
"Be careful; the market value of the job may be the key answer - 'My understanding is that a job
like the one you are describing may be in the range of ...'"
16. What was the last book you read? Movie you saw? Sporting event you attended?
"Talk about leisure books to represent balance in your life."
17. Will you be out to take your boss' job?
Not until I get the current job done."
18. How would you describe the essence of success? According to your definition, how
successful have you been so far?
"A sense of well-being ... Pretty successful with the usual ups and downs."
At some point in every interview, the interviewer would ask the applicant if she/he has any
questions. It is important that the applicant has some questions - and some good ones - because
questions can reveal as much about the applicant as answers.
