GET THE
JOB
It can be easy to convince
ourselves that the job interview doesn’t matter
so much, as long as our resume is outstanding,
our dress is impeccably professional, and that
we are nice people. After all, nice people do
win in the end, don’t they? Unfortunately, this
couldn’t be further from the truth. Even though
the resume, attire, and likeability factor all
play a part in an employer’s decision to hire
someone, the answers that you provide to the
questions during the interview will demonstrate
what the employer is most interested in: your
confidence, skills, and knowledge of the job.
THE TOP 10 INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS
Your best weapon to
mastering the job interview is to practice,
practice, practice your answers to the most
commonly asked questions by employers. The most
certain way to sabotage your chances to win over
a potential employer is to try and wing the
interview. Your answers can appear aimless and
without direction, making you look unprepared or
worse, unqualified.
Don’t risk the future of
your career by flying by the seat of your pants.
Prepare yourself by developing answers to the
most commonly asked questions:

Last Job Search Guide You'll Ever Need
1.
Tell Me a Little Something About
Yourself.
This is probably one of the most dreaded
questions of all time. We quiver and sweat in
our seats wondering what the employer really
wants to know. Hey, relax! For starters, this is
a great opportunity for you to sell yourself to
the employer. Talk about your key
accomplishments and strengths and how these
factors will benefit the employer in the desired
position. Write down ahead of time what you plan
to say; perfect it; then practice it every
chance you get.
2.
Why Do You Want to Leave Your Current
Job?
This question is basically a wolf in sheep’s
clothing. It appears harmless enough, but it can
damage your potential in a heartbeat if you’re
not careful. By all means, keep your answers to
this question as positive as possible. Above
all, do not dwell on how much you hate your
current boss! The interviewer wants to hire a
team player to the position, not a negative and
vindictive hater.
3.
Are You Still Employed and If Not, Why
Not?
If you are, great, but if you aren’t, you can
still use your answer to this question to shine
a light on your positive features. For example,
if you were laid off or terminated, focus less
on the actual termination and more on what you
learned from the whole process. You’ll look
mature and wise in the employer’s eyes!
4.
Do You Have Any Budgeting Experience?
If you haven’t, be honest; but you can answer in
a way that shows that you have had some exposure
to adhering to a budget—on a project, for
example. If you do have budgeting experience,
discuss your fiscal responsibility.
5.
Have You Ever Managed Anyone?
This question is most important to those who are
seeking a supervisory type of position. If you
have managerial experience, elaborate on how
many people you have supervised and what their
positions were in the spectrum of the
organizational chart. However, if you haven’t
had direct managerial practice, talk up how much
you were a part of the decision process of a
team project, or how you organized volunteers
for a fundraiser.
