Interview

Remember to try to angle your answers towards the job in question. For example, if you are

trying for an Textile designer job designing and you are asked "what do you know about the

company?" Give a broad and complete answer but try and focus on the Textile side of the

business.

Try to supply the interviewer with any examples of your skills or achievements etc. to backup

your answers. Include any supporting facts and figures too.

Tell me about yourself?

I gained an honours Degree from Iqra University in Textile design. My final project covered

----------------------------------------- which I gained top marks.

I am having artistic approach and my design area is very strong which can help your

company to produce good designs and to increase business.

What do you know about this company?

Give little intro of company

Why do you want to work here?

XYZ is an innovative business which has stayed ahead of the competition

Do you prefer working in a team or alone?

I have worked alone and in a team and I enjoy both challenges. My preference is governed

by which method provides the best solution to the task in hand. Although in my experience,

joint efforts produce better results than an equal number of mutually exclusive staff.

What is your greatest weakness?

My weakness used to be that I accepted too much work in an effort to please everybody. I

soon discovered that I was diluting my focus and not performing as I should. Subsequent

projects were properly scheduled and I did not accept more work than I could complete on

time. I found did not please anybody trying to be Superman.

How would you deal with criticism?

I try to look for the positive inside any criticism. I find constructive criticism a way of

objectively analysing at my work with a view to finding and correcting any problem. Unjustly
criticizing people in a hurtful manner is a practice which I see very differently. It can

demoralize people which can effect every part of their lives. Good morale is essential for any

team to work at their best.

Give me an example of how you met a tight deadline?

Where do you see yourself five years from now?

I wanted to see myself in management after 5 years.

Name your skills which would benefit this company?

What are your strengths?

As an ex training manger I see myself as having strong communication skills and the ability

to communicate difficult concepts in simple terms. I had done most of the projects in small

dead lines, so in given dead lines I do finish my work successfully.

What is your dream job?

I feel that this job ticks most of my dream job boxes. It is a challenging role, requiring a

significant amount of skill and ability, which I feel I have.
