BASIC INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 1 episodes
- #15 Do you work well under pressure?
- In most cases, the best answer to this question is answering yes. Working well under pressure is a good trait to have.
- However, I think if you answer that you work the same with pressure and without pressure, the interviewer will be more impressed.
- You will need to explain in words why this is better. Here are some of my answers.
5 min - #14 How do you make important decisions?
- There are many ways to answer this question, and if you have a reasonable method of making decisions, it will probably be sufficient.
- One answer I thought of included not being afraid of asking your manager.
- You can follow up by saying even the best needs mentoring, and you always want to improve.
- So basically, this could work as an answer, but depending on the job, you might have a better shot with an answer like my example.
4 min - #13 How do you handle change?
- "Are you good at dealing with change?"
- Dealing with change is common in the work place. A simple yes will not be sufficient to impress the interviewer.
- This is another type of question where everyone will have similar answers.
- Of course everyone is going to claim being excellent dealing with change.
- You got to communicate that you are really good at dealing with change. Here are some examples for you.
4 min - #12 Do you manage your time well?
- "In what ways do you manage your time well?"
- The first question is a little easier. The second question is more difficult because it requires an example.
- I'm going to give an example for the second question and you should be able to use it for the first question as well.
2 min - #11 In what ways are you organized and disorganized
- This is another variation to the previous question.
- This question is a little better because the question wants you to identify an area you are disorganized.
- Make sure to emphasize the organized portion of the answer.
- If you are truly an organized person, then it is really tough thinking about an area you are disorganized.
- So thinking ahead of time will allow you to make a good impression with a solid answer.
4 min - #10 Are you an organized person?
- You can think that this question is stupid. Actually, I do. Everyone will say they are organized.
- Who will admit otherwise? You should know that everyone will say similar things. Take this time to be creative with your answer.
- You can use these types of questions to leave a strong impression with a creative answer. Or, if you are not creative, then the best way to answer this question is with an example.
- Using a story is more believable and easier to remember. Feel free to mix in a little humor to make it more memorable.
4 min - #9 What does failure mean to you?
- This is quite simple. I don't see many right answers so this is what I suggest. You can believe in two of the following.
- One, you believe that failure is not achieving your goal no matter what.
- Or two, you can believe failure is only when nothing is learned from the failure. I believe in the latter, but you don't have to agree with me.
4 min - #8 What does success mean to you?
- There are many things you can say. This type of question doesn't have a wrong answer.
- All answers will be correct. So the best answer is how good you can make the answer.
- A mediocre answer will be something like completing a project on time.
- You can say this, but add another twist to make the answer a little better. Here is an example.
3 min - #7 If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be and why?
- This question is another variation to the weakness question.
- You can provide a similar type of question unless it is the same person asking them. To answer this question, think of a person you respect and the trait they have that you really like.
- I used to have a manager that was very patient and explained things very carefully. I really liked this trait, so I'm going to provide the long answer by using this example. But first, let's look at some short answers.
4 min - #6 What do you want to be doing five years from now?
- This is a similar question to the short term question, but you should answer it a little differently. Here are some examples.
