And introducing one half of the Interview Guys, Mike.
-
And the other half of the Interview Guys, Jeff.
-
Wow!
-
Tough crowd eh, Jeff?
-
Hey everyone, I'm Jeff one half of the Interview Guys and today we're gonna be counting down the top ten job interview questions.
-
These are the questions you're gonna be faced with the most, so you definitely need to know how to answer them properly.
-
So let's get started with question number one.
-
The number one interview question that's most commonly asked is tell me about yourself.
-
For this question, don't talk about your personal life.
-
Highlight your strengths by talking about specific past work experiences.
-
The second most commonly asked question is why should we hire you?
-
Now, remember with this question, you need to be specific and highlight a strength that's in line with what the company or organization is specifically looking for.
-
Number three. What is your greatest strength?
-
Be specific and tell a brief work related example of you exhibiting that strength.
-
And again, pick an example and a strength that is based on your knowledge of what they're specifically looking for.
-
Number four on the list is what is your greatest weakness?
-
The three things to remember when answering this question is to be honest.
-
Show that you're taking the steps to conquer the weakness and most importantly don't mention a weakness with the skills or abilities that are essential to the job you're interviewing for.
-
Number five. Why do you wanna work here?
-
For this question, be specific and mention aspects of the company or organization that you admire and show how your strengths and abilities make you a perfect fit.
-
Question number six on the list is why did you leave your last job?
-
Now if you left voluntarily, then reference a specific characteristic that the company you're interviewing for has that you're attracted to. Obviously, one that your previous employer didn't have.
-
Now if you were let go, be honest and explain the situation and own it.
-
Explain what you learned from the experience because the interviewer knows you're human, you make mistakes and just wants to see that you were able to do something about it.
-
Number seven. What is your greatest accomplishment?
-
For this question, be specific and talk about a past work accomplishment.
-
Make sure you pick an accomplishment that shows how valuable you will be in the position you're interviewing for.
-
Question number eight is describe a difficult work situation and what you did to overcome it.
-
Again, the key is to be specific.
-
Bring up a past work situation that you handled well and try and pick an example that shows you tackling a problem that could arise at the new company that you're interviewing for.
-
This will help show your value.
-
Number nine. Where do you see yourself in five years?
-
Your answer should show that you're a person with direction and that you have goals.
-
You should show that these goals include you advancing and thriving at the company or organization that you're interviewing with. But don't overdo it.
-
If you're going for an entry-level job, don't say you plan to be CEO in five years.
-
It'll seem unrealistic and could take you out of the running.
-
Last but not least, question ten is:
-
Do you have any questions for me?
-
The interviewer is asking if you have any questions to ask.
-
And you should be saying yes every single time.
-
This will be your chance to demonstrate you've done your research on the company.
-
So try to focus your questions on topics that your company puts high value in.
-
