Know What to Say
Put yourself in the other person's shoes
Review your experience and qualifications in terms of the
specific job. Analyse the skills that you consider could be a
valuable benefit for you prospective employer and be prepared to
give examples of situations in which you have demonstrated these
skills. In addition consider examples of how past employers have
benefited from your efforts.
Read your notes about yourself so that you can confidently answer
questions about who and where you are, as well as what you want to
achieve and where you want to go.
Naturally, all interviews and interviewers are different so there
are no set rules. But there are some questions that are frequently
asked in interviews that you should be prepared to answer. If you
are well prepared, then even if the questions actually asked are
slightly different, you will find that your preparation will enable
to answer these questions well.
Don't rehearse the answers. Just know the points you want to get
across in answer to each question. Always make sure you can give
examples to support your statements as good interviewers will ask
for examples. Think about what the interviewer is looking for and
try to provide answers that relate well to the job you're being
interviewed for.
- Tell me about yourself?
- Tell me about your most significant achievement, professional
or personal?
- How have you added value to the organisation in your current
position?
- What value has your current position added to you?
- What are the three most important qualities for a (current
position/desired position)? Do you posses those? Give me
examples?
- Tell me about your relationship with your
manager/peers/subordinates?
- What steps would you take to make you division/company more
efficient?
- If you stayed with your current company, what would your next
move be and why does that not appeal to you?
- What interests you about this job and this company? What are
the drawbacks?
