35、asks you will be expected to perform in the role and the responsibilities that you might assume. This can be very helpful for a job interview.,(2) Plan what you are going to say. Think about replies to common questions. (3) Prepare to ask some questions of your own. (4) Dress according to the regula
36、tions of the company or organization.,2.Good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews,(1)What is important to you in a job? Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution. (2)
37、Why do you want to work for this organization? Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.,(3)Why should we employ you? Refer to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm abou
38、t working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of
39、a team. (4) If we hire you, how long will you stay with us? Answer by saying along these lines: “As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities.“,(5)Can we offer you a career path? Reply: “I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the o
40、rganization. Can you tell me about it?“ The answer may be revealing. (6) What are your greatest strengths? Give a response like one of the following: “I can see what needs to be done and do it“, “Im wiling to make decisions“, “I work well with others,“ “I can organize my time efficiently.“,(7)What a
41、re your greatest weakness? Identify one or two, such as the following:“ I tend to drive myself too hard“, “ expect others to perform beyond their capacities“, “ I like to see a job done quickly, and Im critical if it isnt.“ Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The tri
42、ck with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.,(8) What didnt you like about previous jobs youve held? Discuss the things you didnt like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers. (9) How do you spend your leisure time? Menti
43、on a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary - rather just one.,(10) Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience? Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. Youll find that they are minor when discussed alon
44、g with all the positive things you have to offer. (11) Where do you want to be five years from now? Saying that youd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, “In five years, Id like to have my bosss job.“ Be confident, but not ar
45、rogant.,(12) What are your salary expectations? If you are asked this at the outset, its best to say, “Why dont we discuss salary after you decide whether Im right for the job?“ But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up. He or she will probably try to meet your pr
46、ice. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, “Can you discuss your salary range with me?“,(13) What would you do if? This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: “What would you do if your computer broke down during an audit?“ Your answer there isnt nearly so important as your
47、 approach to the problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, “One thing I might do is .“ Then give several alternative choices.,(14) What type of position are you interested in? Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm. So state your skills instead, such as “Im good at figure work,“ and the positions that require these skills, such as “accounts payable.“,(15) Tell me something about yourself. Say youll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, r
