List of Job Interview Questions and Answers Part 5
Interview Questions: The
Future
·
What is important to you?
· Two things are very important to me. One is my professionalism at work; the second is my family life.
·
Where do you see yourself 5
years from now?
· Outline a Career Path
· Start With Your Interest in This Job
· When
There is No Clear Career Path
(Not all jobs are stepping stones to
higher positions. For positions like counseling, sales, event planning,
teaching and computer programming, for example, it will be perfectly
appropriate to emphasize mastery of that job as your five year goal. Think
about components of the job in which you can excel. For example for a sales
job: "Within 5 years I would like to be recognized as an expert in terms
of product knowledge, have developed very close relationships with clients,
have significantly expanded the client base in my region and perhaps have been
assigned some major national clients.")
· Goals
= Results
(Stating your goals in terms of results which you would like to produce is another angle for responding.)
·
What are your goals for the
next five years / ten years?
· My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I
can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as
much of value as I can.
· I see myself as a top performing employee in a
well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and
continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.
· Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move
on from a technical position to management.
·
How do you plan to achieve
those goals?
· I noticed that XYZ company (the company you are interviewing with) provides in-house training for employees and I would certainly be interested in taking classes that would be relevant.
·
What will you do if you
don't get this position?
· I am
committed to this company and its advancement so, should I not be selected, I
will work with and support whoever might get selected. However, I do feel that
my experience in the department and with the team would make me the best
candidate.
· I'll feel
disappointed. However, I'll reflect on the experience of the interview; to see
what my flaws are and try to improve on them for future opportunity. However, I am sure that I am the one you seek, both as I am and as I will
develop.
·
How many hours a day/week do you need to
work to get the job done?
· I use my time efficiently at work and, for the most part, it's not the number of hours I work; but how effective my time has been to accomplish the job. I'm sure my references will tell you I was more than willing to put in the time to be sure the job was completed as quickly and as professionally as possible.
Top-10 tips for a successful job interview
- Dress for success. Professional business clothes are always appropriate, regardless of the type of job you are interviewing for. Proper hygiene and a tidy appearance are important. Iron your clothes if you can, and avoid strong perfumes or colognes.
- Be there on time. Try to arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to be safe. Find out ahead of time where you're going and how long it will take to get there. Drive or travel the route a day or two ahead, at the same time of day as you will on the day of the interview. Confirm how often the buses run. Have a back-up plan.
- Let your personality shine. If you’re excited about the job, don’t be afraid to show it. Employers want passionate employees, so be yourself. Just remember to always keep it professional.
- Be confident. Feeling nervous in an interview is perfectly normal; just don’t let your nerves overpower your interview. Eye contact and a calm, clear speaking voice are excellent ways to show your confidence.
- Watch
your body language. During your
interview, relax and sit naturally, but don't slouch in your chair or lean on
the interviewer's desk. Avoid chewing gum, or fidgeting with jewelry or your
hair.
- Be professional. This begins with a smile and a firm handshake. Remember, this is your first introduction to the organization, so be polite to everyone you meet and turn off your cell phone.
- Listen and ask for clarification, if you need it. Remember to listen carefully to the interview questions so that you actually answer the question, and never interrupt. If you don’t understand something, don’t be afraid to ask for clarification.
- Let them know what you have to offer. When answering the questions, let the employer see what you have to offer their organization. Talk about your past experiences and accomplishments without bragging, and tie those experiences to how they can help you contribute to their organization.
- Think before you speak. Although you want to be open and honest in your interview, avoid talking about your personal or financial problems.
- Don’t linger. Leave as soon as the interview is over, making sure you don’t linger. Shake the interviewer’s hand again, restate your interest in working for the organization, and thank them for the interview.
