JOB INTERVIEW

Questions that are asked during a job interview…

Tell me something about yourself?

 Any information that you give about yourself should

be in reference to the job that you are applying for.

 Example: You can start with the school which you

attend, and things you do in your leisure time,
especially if these things relate to the job you want
to have. For example, if you apply for a job at
Gamestop, your hobby in playing video games will be
considered as something positive (which isn’t the case
most of the time:)).
What are your strengths and weaknesses?

You should pick weaknesses

 

that won’t hinder you in your

new job.

Your strengths should be what

will help you get the job.
 How do you imagine a typical day in work?

The key is to show them that you do not expect an easy

ride, that you want to work hard.

Example: Applying for a job of a nanny? Say that you

imagine playing with the child, giving him or her all
your attention.
 What is your availability? Which days and hours can you work?

Show some flexibility!!

List particular days and hours when you are
available…
 
How do you feel about working eight/twelve hours a
day? Do you have any working experience?

The employer is only trying to understand whether

you have the basic working habits, and that you are
not scared of working for more than an hour or two.
