An interview is a conversation between two or more people where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts or statements from the interview.

Preparing for a job interview

The job interview is a crucial part of your job search because it is an opportunity for the employer to figure out if you are right for the job. This page will provide you with information to prepare for our job interview so that you can make a positive and lasting impression.

Before the interview

Be sure to do some background research to become familiar with the organization. This might include researching any current events that might relate to the organization or industry, the organization's goals and objectives, and the history of the company. Here are some questions to help you with your research:

What does the organization do?
What's involved in the position you are applying for?
What qualifications do you need for the position?
What kind of skills is the employer looking for?
Who are the customers or clients?
What kind of reputation does the employer have?

You will be more comfortable in the interview if you know a bit about the company and the position you are applying for.

Print off an extra copy of your resume so the employer can refer to it during the interview. You should also bring a copy of your reference list.

Preparing for interview questions

One of the best ways to prepare for an interview is to anticipate questions the interviewer may ask. This will allow you to give thoughtful and organized answers during your interviewer.

Here are some questions you should be comfortable answering:

What major challenges and problems did you face? How did you handle them?

Be sure to include specific examples of how you handled a particularly difficult situation. Discuss how you researched the issue and contribute to finding a solution. Examples of good responses include:

1. During a difficult financial period, I was able to satisfactorily negotiate repayment schedules with multiple vendors.

2. When the software development of our new product stalled, I coordinated the team which managed to get the schedule back on track. We were able to successfully troubleshoot the issues and solve the problems, within a very short period of time.

3. A long-term client was about to take their business to a competitor. I met with the customer and was able to change how we handled the account on a day-to-day basis, in order to keep the business.

What have you learned from your mistakes?

Be sure to give examples that turn a negative (a mistake) into a positive.

Examples of good responses include:

1. I think one of the most important things I've learned is persistence. Not to give up too soon, because the solution is probably right in front of me.

2. I have learned to give every person a second chance, because first impressions can often be misleading.

3. I used to think that there was one best solution to a problem, but I've learned that that kind of thinking limits the possibility of great success.

What do you expect from a supervisor?

I appreciate a work environtment where supervisoirs try to make personal connections with their employees.

Describe your ideal boss!

I would like to be able to go to my manager if I have an issue or idea and to be able to feel comfortable to expressing my thoughts. I would also expect my supervisor to be open and honest with me and to let me know if there is anything I could do to improve upon of do differently in my work.
