List of Job Interview Questions and Answers Part 3

· Tell me about yourself.

Give them "your synopsis about you" answer, prepare ahead of time by developing your own personal branding statement that clearly tells who you are, your major strength and the clear benefit that your employer received. The advantages of this approach are that you will quickly gain their attention and interest them in knowing more. You will separate yourself from your competitors. You will also have a higher chance of being positively remembered and hired. Try:

1. “I can summarize who I am in three words.” Grabs their attention immediately. Demonstrates your ability to be concise, creative and compelling.

2. “The quotation I live my life by is…” Proves that personal development is an essential part of your growth plan. Also shows your ability to motivate yourself.

3. “My personal philosophy is…” Companies hire athletes – not shortstops. This line indicates your position as a thinker, not just an employee.

4. “People who know me best say that I’m…” This response offers insight into your own level of self-awareness.

5. “Well, I googled myself this morning, and here’s what I found…” Tech-savvy, fun, cool people would say this. Unexpected and memorable.

6. “My passion is…” People don’t care what you do – people care who you are. And what you’re passionate about is who you are. Plus, passion unearths enthusiasm.

7. “When I was seven years old, I always wanted to be…” An answer like this shows that you’ve been preparing for this job your whole life, not just the night before.

8. “If Hollywood made a movie about my life, it would be called…” Engaging, interesting and entertaining.

9. “Can I show you, instead of tell you?” Then, pull something out of your pocket that represents who you are. Who could resist this answer? Who could forget this answer?

10. “The compliment people give me most frequently is…” Almost like a testimonial, this response also indicates self-awareness and openness to feedback.

(Ultimately it’s about answering quickly, it’s about speaking creatively and it’s about breaking people’s patterns)

· What has been the greatest disappointment in your life?

· If possible, tell about a personal disappointment i.e. the early death of a parent, child, or school friend. Believe it or not, it is okay to have not had a "greatest" disappointment.

· What are you passionate about?

· One of my greatest passions is helping others. When I was younger, I've enjoyed helping mom with household repairs. As I grew older, that habit grew and I desired to help others as well. I like helping people find solutions that meet their specific needs.

· I'm passionate about painting. I take an evening art class once a week and try to find time each weekend to paint. Painting is a good way for me to relax and even though I don't have much talent, I do it enjoy it.

· I lost my father to pancreatic cancer and ever since then, I have spent time volunteering to help raise awareness and funding for cancer research. I volunteer for PanCan, the advocacy group, and I'm part of their volunteer network. One of the things I'm passionate is to assist in finding a cure, however I can.

· I'm passionate about making a difference. When I'm involved with a project at work I want to do my best to achieve success. I feel the same way about what I do in my personal life.

· I'm an avid skier and I like to spend weekends and vacations on the ski slopes.

· When was the last time you were angry? What happened?

· Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose control. When I get stressed, I step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then begin to formulate a plan of action.

· If you could relive the last 10 years of your life, what would you do differently?

· Personal Answer

· I lost my mother to Alzheimer's. I wish I'd known more about the disease to help me through that difficult time.

· Non-personal Answer

· Really, nothing. I've learned from each experience I've had.

· If the people who know you were asked why you should be hired, what would they say?

· I'm sure if you asked my friends that question they would say you should hire me because I have the skills outlined in the job description.

· Words they've used to describe me are: hard working, professional, trusted and a team player.

· Do you prefer to work independently or on a team?

· I am equally comfortable working as a member of a team and independently.

· What type of work environment do you prefer?

· I can be flexible when it comes to my work environment. What is the environment in the Engineering department here at XYZ, Inc? (Once they've described the work environment, include key phrases they've used when you describe your preferred work environment).

· How do you evaluate success?

· I evaluate success in different ways. At work, it is meeting the goals set by my supervisors and my fellow workers. It is my understanding, from talking to other employees, that the company is recognized for not only rewarding success, but giving employees opportunity to grow as well.

· After work, I enjoy playing softball, so success on the field is catching the winning pop-up.

· If you know your boss is 100% wrong about something how would you handle it?

· "It depends on the situation and the personality of the supervisor." To elaborate, give examples:

· My present supervisor does not like to have his authority questioned. He's fairly new on the job and almost all of the people he supervises have been on the job longer than he has. He's never bothered to learn the procedures, how things are done or how the computer system works. But if any of us tell him that how he wants something done won't work, he gets extremely angry. So, I never tell him he's wrong. Never. Whatever he tells me to do, I smile and say "okay." Then if I know a way to get it done that will work, I do it that way, give him the results he wants and never tell him I didn't do it the way he told me to. He got the results and is happy. I saved myself the stress of being yelled at and gave him what he wanted, so I'm happy.

· My prior supervisor was more easy-going and if I told her "you know, I think it might work better if I do what you asked in such and such a way," she say "okay, try it."

· If I were a new hire on a job, I would probably not question a supervisor because I might think I didn't know enough. Except on the new job I'm going to. The director has admitted that she's new on the job and there are a lot of things that a secretary does that she doesn't know how to do, so she will be depending on me to know how to keep the office running.
