Why do you believe you are suitable for this role?

In the job listing, you are looking for a structural engineer whose able to use
structural programs. Although I do not know some of the listed programs, I think I
can learn it easily because I have deep knowledge in theory of structures.
What do you consider to be your biggest strength?
I'm well motivated, I've got a strong desire to succeed, and I'm always ready and
willing to learn new information and skills.
I have an extremely strong work ethic. When I'm working on a project, I don't
want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of
schedule. Last year, I even earned a bonus for completing my three most recent
reports one week ahead of time.
One of my strengths is my strong work ethic. When I commit to a deadline, I do
whatever it takes to deliver. For example, last week we had a report due and got
some numbers back late from our team in Singapore. I pulled an all-nighter to
finish the spreadsheet because I knew that the client HAD to receive the report
on time.
What do you consider to be your biggest strength?
My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to
learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I
can.
I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like
this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related)
professional associations.
I am driven to be the best at what I do and I want to work somewhere where Ill
have opportunities to develop my skills, take on interesting projects, and work
with people I can really learn from. Some of the most innovative thinkers in the
industry work here and thats a big reason why I would love to build a career
here.

retail and hospitality industries 54 hours per week)

h. Is there a company car with the position? If so, is regular maintenance and fuel

i. Is there company accommodation or an accommodation allowance provided?

j. What (return) flights are provided by the company, and to where? (Some
companies only provide flights to the point of entrance into the employees home
country and do not cover local flights or travel within the employees home
country).

k. Are the flights of your spouse and children covered as well? Dont labour under
the impression that your wife and children will get a free flight every year, and
then when you are about to go on vacation you find they are not covered in the
agreement.

l. Are you required to take your vacation at a specific point in the year, or can you
take it at any time? Some companies only allow employees to take their vacation
at specific times in the year in accordance with the companys logistical
requirements.

m. Is a uniform required as part of the job? If so who is responsible for the cost?

n. Some companys provide shared accommodation for their employees, this is

quiet common in the restaurant and other retail industries; if this is offered then
ask if you are required to pay any of the other charges related to the

accommodation (electricity, water etc.), or if these are covered by the employer.

Also enquire as to the number of people who will be sharing this accommodation.
I have personally seen 4 or 5 people cramped in to a 4 x 4 metre room. Labour
accommodation is even worse than this and up to 12 people can share the same
sized room!
