1、”What are your goals for the future?” or “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

　　Don’t discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job. Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for.

　　最佳答案：

　　-My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.

　　-I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.

　　-Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.

　　-In the XYZ Corporation, what is a typical career path for someone with my skills and experiences?

　　2、Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself?

　　You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? “Tell me about yourself.” Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.

　　Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)說出你的賣點

　　Give them “your synopsis about you” answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: “I’m a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer’s name) during the past 11 years.”

　　What a difference you’ve made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: “I’d like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you.” The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.

　　“My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I’ve prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.”

　　首先要明確他們想了解的是哪方面的內(nèi)容Do they want to know about your career so far, about your hobbies or family life? If in doubt, ASK them to clarify what they wish you to talk about. Then give a short factual answer, ending with “is there anything else you’d like to know about me?”

　　How would you describe yourself?

　　這個問題的答案應(yīng)該是和他們的招聘廣告上對于雇員的要求的基本一致，所以，看看你有哪些特質(zhì)滿足了他們的要求吧。

　　Try to think about what the interviewers are looking for and keep this in mind as you answer interview questions. Remember the job advert? Were they looking for initiative, a good communicator, someone with good attention to detail? Describe yourself in these terms. Start with “I am..” and not with “I think…” or “I believe..” so that you sound self aware and confident.

　　3、When you’re interviewing for an internal position within your company, you may be asked what you will do if you don’t get the job. The interviewer wants to know whether you are concerned about just the advancement opportunity or the company. 內(nèi)部職位競聘常會被問到如果你沒有得到這份工作的話你將會怎么辦的問題。

　　最佳答案：

　　I am committed to this company and its advancement so, should I not be selected, I will work with and support whoever might get selected. However, I do feel that my experience in the department and with the team would make me the best candidate

　　4、How would your boss describe you?

　　If you get the job, your interviewer may be your future boss so you need to answer this question carefully. Describe yourself as any boss would want to see you. You might say:

　　“My boss would describe me as hard working, loyal, friendly and committed. He would say that I work well on my own initiative and deliver what he wants on time and to a high standard”.

　　Again, don’t use the term “I think my boss would say..” as it gives an element of doubt. Be positive and certain with the interview answer you give.

　　5、What motivates you?

　　I am motivated by being around other positive people, we might question if working alone would suit them.

　　I am motivated by targets.

　　6、What do you look for in a job?

　　This is really a question about suitability, though we’ve included it here.

　　Remember the advert? Focus on the advert criteria and you won’t go far wrong. For example, if the advert called for someone to lead others, you might say:

　　“I like a job where I can lead and motivate others and enjoy seeing improvements in team performance”.

　　If the advert called for a target-focused individual, you might say:

　　“I like having targets. They encourage me to stretch myself and beat them!”
