SIGN UP HERE: http://bit.ly/aceanyjobinterviewwebinar -------------------- SUMMARY -------------------- 1. Based on the direction of the company, what do you think will be your greatest accomplishments in the next three years? Organizations need to be able to think at least three to five years into the future. But, you don't want to join an organization that only thinks about the future. Thinking is nice, but companies that act and build things and have clarity around specifically what they're going to do are worthy of you. Join them. It's a great question because it helps you understand whether they have a vision and if they have clarity regarding specifically what they want to build. Questions two, three, and four are about you and your role… 2. What are the qualities of people who are most successful in this position? You're looking for the traits the employer wants. The reason it’s a great question is you’ll get the actual traits they’re evaluating and you can use that insight immediately to highlight how you and your background and experience match those traits! Plus, it’s a great setup question for the next one. 3. If you were to give me an offer and I was to accept it, one year from now, what will I have done specifically that you would consider this hire to be a raging success? It gives you clarity to make sure you could actually achieve those objectives. And, it gives you ammunition to use within that interview or subsequent interviews to talk about exactly how you’ll accomplish what they consider a success. You now know their (year-end) goal is. Get them to envision you completing it for them. Boom. This one wins the interview even though you’re not done yet. Let’s pile on a bit… 4. If you were to give me an offer and I was to accept it, within one week of starting this job, what will be my biggest surprise? This is a little safety net for you. You want to make sure you're uncovering information you might not have uncovered with the questions you've designed. It gets the interviewer thinking hmmm, what might this person not ask in the job interview I could share or what surprised me when I first started with the company? 5. What's your management style and what are your expectations of the position you might not have already mentioned? -------------------- ABOUT ANDREW -------------------- Andrew LaCivita is an internationally recognized executive recruiter, award-winning author, trainer, and founder and chief executive officer of milewalk and the milewalk Academy.

21 GREAT ANSWERS to Tough Interview Questions » https://passmyinterview.com/21-great-answers-to-tough-interview-questions/ Get the TRANSCRIPTION for this VIDEO here: https://www.how2become.com/blog/7-top-interview-questions-and-answers/ INTERVIEW QUESTION 1. TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF? - Concentrate on telling them about your work-related skills as opposed to your home life. They are not interested in your home life. - Download a copy of the person specification for the job and focus on telling them how your skills and attributes match the document. - Use “power words” in your response, such as: motivated, enthusiastic, loyal, flexible, committed, honest, hard-working, adaptable etc. These will resonate positively with the interview panel. INTERVIEW QUESTION 2. WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE? - Tell them about the preparation work you have done in the build-up to the interview. - Focus on the person specification, the job description and information you have gleaned from the company’s website and also the literature you have studied during your research. INTERVIEW QUESTION 3. WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS? - Again, focus on the person specification for the role you are applying for. - Say something different that makes you stand out from the other job applicants. Give an example of why you are better than the other applicants and try to make yourself RELATABLE and REAL! INTERVIEW QUESTION 4. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS' TIME? - Don’t tell them you plan to have moved on from their company, either internally or externally. - Loyalty is very important to the vast majority of employers. Remember, they have to spend time, money and resources training you up in the role, so they will want to see a return on their investment. - Don’t tell them you want to be sitting where they are! INTERVIEW QUESTION 5. WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES? - Anyone who tells the interview panel they have no weaknesses is telling porkies! We all have weaknesses. - Don’t give a weakness that is one of the key requirements of the role. For example, if punctuality and good timekeeping are important, don’t tell the panel you struggle getting out of bed in the morning! QUESTION 6. WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEAM MEMBER? - List the qualities I am going to give you in the sample answer that follows. - Back up your answer with a specific example of when YOU have worked well as part of a team using the STAR technique. INTERVIEW QUESTION 7. WHEN HAVE YOU WORKED UNDER PRESSURE? - Try to give an example of when you have carried out a difficult/pressurised task under strict time constraints. - Give a specific example and don’t forget to use the STAR technique in your response. https://www.how2become.com/
