Why do you want this job?
One of the most predictable questions and very
important! You need to demonstrate that you
have researched the employer and tie your
knowledge of them into the skills and interests
that led you to apply. For example, an
interviewee with a small public relations agency
might say:
"I'm always ready to take on responsibility and
feel this will come more quickly with a firm of
this size. A small firm also gives the chance to
build closer working relationships with clients
and colleagues and I've found through my past
work experience that this makes an organization
more effective as well as more satisfying to work
in."
Try to find some specific feature on which the
employer prides themselves: their training, their
client base, their individuality, their public
image, etc. This may not always be possible with
very small organizations but you may be able to
pick up something of this nature from the
interviewer.

Have You Consistently Met Your Sales Goals?
Here are sample answers for the interview
question "Have you consistently met your
personal and professional sales goals?"
Sample Answers
- I have met or exceeded my personal and
professional sales goals consistently over
the past 10 years.
- I have always met or exceeded my
professional sales goals, and most often my
personal ones too, especially in the last few
years. I think with experience, I have
learned to set my personal goals at an
attainable level, very high, but not
unreachable.

What do you know about us?
Follow these three easy research tips before your next
job interview:
1) Visit the company website; look in the “about us”
section and “careers” sections
2) Visit the company’s LinkedIn page (note, you
must have a LinkedIn account — its free to sign up)
to view information about the company
3) Google a keyword search phrase like “press
releases” followed by the company name; you’ll find
the most recent news stories shared by the company
Remember, just because you have done your
“homework”, it does not mean you need to share
ALL of it during the interview! Reciting every fact
you’ve learned is almost as much of a turn off as not
knowing anything at all! At a minimum, you should
include the following in your answer:
1. What type of product or service the company sells
2. How long the company has been in business
3. What the company culture is like OR what the
company mission statement is, and how the culture
and/or mission relate to your values or personality
Interview questions and answers – free download/ pdf and ppt file
Why do you want to work with us?
More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see
how much you know about the company culture,
and whether you can identify with the
organization’s values and vision. Every
organization has its strong points, and these are the
ones that you should highlight in your answer. For
example, if the company emphasizes on integrity
with customers, then you mention that you would
like to be in such a team because you yourself
believe in integrity.
It doesn’t have to be a lie. In the case that your
values are not in line with the ones by the
company, ask yourself if you would be happy
working there. If you have no issue with that, go
ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture
and realize that there is some dilemma you might
be facing, you ought to think twice. The best policy
is to be honest with yourself, and be honest with
the interviewer with what is it in the company
culture that motivates you.

Why should the we hire you?
This is the part where you link your skills,
experience, education and your
personality to the job itself. This is why
you need to be utterly familiar with the job
description as well as the company
culture. Remember though, it’s best to
back them up with actual examples of
say, how you are a good team player.
It is possible that you may not have as
much skills, experience or qualifications
as the other candidates. What then, will
set you apart from the rest? Energy and
passion might. People are attracted to
someone who is charismatic, who show
immense amount of energy when they
talk, and who love what it is that they do.
As you explain your compatibility with the
job and company, be sure to portray
yourself as that motivated, confident and
energetic person, ever-ready to commit to
the cause of the company.

What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little
game that you will probably lose
if you answer first. So, do not
answer it. Instead, say
something like, That’s a tough
question. Can you tell me the
range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer,
taken off guard, will tell you. If
not, say that it can depend on
the details of the job. Then give
a wide range.

Do you have any questions to ask us?
Never ask Salary, perks, leave, place
of posting, etc. regarded questions.
Try to ask more about the company to
show how early you can make a
contribution to your organization like
“Sir, with your kind permission I
would like to know more about
induction and developmental
programs?”
OR
Sir, I would like to have my feedback,
so that I can analyze and improve my
strengths and rectify my shortcomings.
