Top 7 interview questions with answers

1. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of
activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones
handy to mention.
2. What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not
have specific experience, get as close as you can.
3. Describe a typical work week for you.
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they
are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for
and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your

past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering
the questions.
It should be obvious that its not a good idea talk about non-work related activities
that you do on company time, but, Ive had applicants tell me how they are often
late because they have to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to
work at the gym.
Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that youre organized
(The first thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I
prioritize my activities for the week.) and efficient.
4. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first.
So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, Thats a tough question. Can you
tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard,
will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.
5. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best
points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought
to this relationship.
6. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to
prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure, Your
ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your
positive attitude
7. Do you have any questions for me?
Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an
asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and
What type of projects will I be able to assist on?

General interview tips

In some circles it is thought that working in IT means that it is fine to dress down
for interview. This may be the case for certain companies and telecom positions, but it
is wise to consider how best to present oneself to create a good first impression.
The first golden rule is not to be late. If the interview is close to home, check timings
either by private or public transport. If using public transport, check how long it will take
to walk the final distance. If it is a long distance trip then check timings and routes and,
if necessary, book overnight accommodation if the interview is early in the morning.
The second golden rule is to find out as much as possible about the company before
going for interview. What does it do? What services does it provide? How big is it and
how is it structured? Are there any tips on its corporate policies? Going into an interview
armed with detailed knowledge not only gives the opportunity to see if the company is
the right fit for the candidate, but offers the potential for asking useful questions of the
interviewers.
Dress well. A smart suit suggests that a candidate takes a professional approach to all
their business dealings, indicating he or she will be an asset when working away from
the home base or when attending important meetings. It is worth checking on the
company dress code where possible as smart casual may also be an option.
It is also important to re-read the original application so that answers given at interview
match the information given on paper.
Specific interview questions
For this level of job, interviewers will want to know what level of experience a candidate
has and what their technological knowledge is. Candidates should expect to be asked
about IT infrastructure and architecture, what experience they have of managing people
in a complex IT environment, and how they might solve specific problems whilst
integrating new software into existing systems. There may also be questions that relate
to how confidential information is handle
