Interview Tips: Job Interview Questions to Prepare Yourself For, Part 2

November 3, 2009

This week we have assembled a list of questions that might be asked in a job interview.  (For the first set of possible questions, read this.) Practicing your answers to these questions is a good way to  prepare yourself for a job interview.

POSSIBLE JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

• Who is the person you admire the most in life – and why?
(Note: Here the interviewer is looking for what personality traits you admire and want to emulate.)

• Recall an incident in which you felt like you made a major mistake. What was it and how did you remedy it?  What did you learn from it?

• What type of manager do you like to work for?  – Or – Describe “the boss of your dreams”.

• Tell me about a recent experience with a fellow team-member, in which your team member impressed you, and why?

• How do you handle stress related to the job?

• How do you feel about feedback on your work – both positive and negative?

• If you are chosen, what particular personal goals would you like to achieve in this career opportunity?  Please describe.

• What are you looking for in your next job and in the next company that employs you?

• Have your previous jobs prepared you for greater tasks and responsibilities? If so, how?
