interview questions, tips & advice
Below are more interview questions to help you prepare for you interview. Each section gives a situation, a sample question, appropriate answer and advice for those questions.
1. Question regarding “Personal Weakness”
More often than not, you will be asked about your weaknesses in an interview. If this seems daunting, follow the interview tips below;
Sample Question: "Looking at your own resume, what do you think your weaknesses are regarding this job?"
Answer: “I believe that my skills and abilities are a good fit for this position. Do you have any specific concerns?"
Advice: Take the opportunity to turn the question around and find out what they think your weaknesses are.
2. Question regarding “Hard Work Ethics”
When interviewing with companies, you will often be asked questions that seem straightforward to answer. However more often than not - a ‘yes’ ‘no’ answer is not good enough. Always try to back up what you are saying with examples, as this will validate what you are trying to say.
Sample Question: "Would your current boss describe you as the type of person who goes that extra mile?"
Answer: "Absolutely. In fact, on my annual evaluations, he writes that I am the most dependable and flexible person on his staff. I think this is mostly because of my ability to prioritise."
Advice: Share an example or experience that demonstrates your dependability or willingness to tackle a tough project. If you describe "long hours of work," make sure that you prove the hours were productive, and not the result of poor time management.
