What to expect at a job interview
June 6, 2018
10 Most Common Interview Questions:
- What you do you know about the company?
- Why did you leave (or are leaving) your last job?
- Why should we hire you?
- Tell me about a challenge you’ve faced at work and how you dealt with it.
- What are your salary requirements?
- What Do You Think It Takes to be Successful in This Position?
- What extracurricular activities do you participate in?
- Tell me about a challenge or conflict you’ve faced at work, and how you dealt with it.
- What’s a time you disagreed with a decision that was made at work?
- How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?
Here’s some advice:
-
Don’t be late to your interview!
- Punctuality is everything and very important when arriving at your interview because it shows you are a punctual person and you aren’t there to waste the interviewers time
-
Dress to Impress
- Dressing casually for your interview can give the sense of how your personality really is. Wearing something lazy like leggings or a baggy t-shirt might not seem extremely comfy but not so professional for your first impression at an interview.
-
Prepare
- You must have a sense of at least knowing what the company that you applied for is about. Being prepared for the questions expected is one of the most important factors of your interviews.
-
Try to Stay Calm
- Always remember that body language always defines you as well so try to stay as calm and relax as you can. Make sure that when asked a question, you don’t forget it nor freak out. Know what the interviewer is asking and keep your nerves calm.
-
Follow-Up after the Interview
- Following up after the interview and giving a thank you to the interviewer for their time will show that you really want the position you applied for.
