TRAINING / JOB INTERVIEW
http://aprendeyalcanzatusmetas.blogspot.com.es/

1. Tell me about yourself.
The answer should give the interviewer a brief profile, history, 5 – 7 key sound bites, and
should be answered in 5 – 7 minutes.

2. What are your strengths & weaknesses?
The answer should start with, “Let me answer in two ways, professionally and
personally….” Strengths should include hard skills, soft skills and intrinsic skills.
Although you should prepare three weaknesses, you should provide only one at a time, and
use the others as back up if and only if asked for more. The weaknesses should always
sound like strengths.
e.g. – I can get overly passionate about my work at times.

3. What do you want to do?
Be clear yet realistic about your career goals and aspirations.
e.g. - I want to become an expert business analyst.

4. Why are you interested in this job?
If you’ve done your homework researching the company and the job, answering this
question should be a breeze.
e.g. - I believe this job and/or company aligns well with my career values and would
provide me with learning and development opportunities and experience.

5. What do you know about our company?
Be creative. Don’t simply repeat what you read about the company in the annual report.
Research press releases and newspaper articles. If there is current topical information
about the company in the press it will demonstrate you are interested and aware of what’s
going on.

6. Why should we hire you?
The answer to this question makes a great closer if you are well prepared.
e.g. - My strengths match up well to the job requirements. I have the knowledge and
expertise to do the job well. I am highly motivated and I adapt easily and quickly to change
and could be up to speed in no time.

7. What will your references say?
Determine in advance who your references will be. You should identify 6 - 10 references.
e.g. - 2 subordinates, 2 bosses, 2 clients or suppliers, and 2 peers.

8. Why did you leave your previous employer?
Be honest without pointing fingers or blaming others. Make this about you.
e.g. - I had an opportunity to advance my career, or I became aware of an opportunity that
better matched my skills and experience.

9. What did you like most and least about your last position/company?
The key is to make what you liked least work for you.
e.g. - I would have preferred to have more personal interaction.


I used to like to work on one project to its completion before starting on another,
but I've learned to work on many projects at the same time, and I think it allows me
to be more creative and effective in each one.



I used to wait until the last minute to set appointments for the coming week, but I
realized that scheduling in advance makes much more sense.



I would say that I can be too much of a perfectionist in my work. Sometimes, I
spend more time than necessary on a task, or take on tasks personally that could
easily be delegated to someone else. Although I've never missed a deadline, it is still
an effort for me to know when to move on to the next task, and to be confident
when assigning others work.



I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too
much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a system
to ensure everything is done correctly the first time.

when assigning others work.



I've learned to make my perfectionism work to my advantage at work. I am
excellent at meeting deadlines, and with my attention to detail, I know my work is
correct.
