Important questions to prepare before an interview



It is obvious to be nervous at an interview but one can switch the negative energy into positive by getting ready before the big day. I suggest any job seeker to attend as many interviews as possible this will not only help to reduce anxiety & build confidence but you can also get valuable tips from industry experts. Below I have mentioned some important questions which you should prepare before attending any interview:

1.      Tell me about yourself? Or tell me about your experience? (make a 2 minute presentation to sell yourself to the organization)
2.      What are your greatest strengths & weaknesses? (List out your positives and be aware not to mention any of your work related limitations).
3.      Tell me about something in the past you failed to do & if given a chance would like to rectify now. Do not mention any major work related drawback.
4.      Why did you leave your last job? Stay positive & never blame your ex-employer.
5.      What do you know about this organization? Prepare before the interview from diff. sources like   websites, current or ex-employees etc.
6.      Are you applying for other jobs? Be honest
7.      Why do you want to work for this organization?
8.      How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
9.      Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
10.   Why should we hire you?
11.   List out how you relate to the position applied for.
12.  Tell me about your dream job? Don’t make up fancy stories, stick to practical.
13.  What is more important to you: the money or the work?
14.  What qualities do you look for in a boss?
15.  What is your salary expectation?
16.  Do you have any questions for me?
17.  Do you know anyone who works for us? Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.
   Stay focused & prepare well before the interview schedule.
   All the best!
