Give one or two accomplishment statements
2.Had you thought of leaving your present position before? If yes, what do you think held you there?
Refer to positive aspects of the job, advancement opportunities, and what you learned
3.Would you describe a few situations in which your work was criticized?
Give only one, and tell how you have corrected or plan to correct your work.
4.If I spoke with your previous boss, what would he or she say are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
Be consistent with what you think the boss would say. Position the weakness in a positive way
5.How would you describe your personality?
Keep your answer short and relevant to the job and the organization’s culture.
6.What are your strong points?
Present three. Relate them to that particular company and job opening.
7.In your current or last position, what features did you like most? Least?
Refer to your satisfiers for likes. Be careful with dislikes, give only one (if any) and make it brief. Refuse to answer negatively. Respond that you “like everything about my current position and have acquired and developed a great many skills, but I’m now ready for a new set of challenges and greater responsibilities.”
8.How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our firm?
“Not long, because of my experience, transferable skills and ability to learn.”
9.If you have never supervised, how do you feel about assuming those responsibilities?
If you want to supervise, say so, and be enthusiastic.
10.Why do you want to become a supervisor?
“To grow and develop professionally, to help others develop, to build a team and to share what I have learned.”
11.Why are you leaving your present position?
Never answer with negative reasons, even if they are true. However, some companies have financial problems which may preclude you from staying with them. Frame your answer positively by answering why you want to move to the target company instead of why you left or want to leave your most recent job. For example, instead of answering, “I don’t get enough challenges at [company],” respond, “I am eager to take on more challenges, and I believe I will find them at [hiring company]. ”I’m not unhappy (at my present employer). However, this opportunity seems to be particularly interesting and I am interested in pursuing it further. Never personalize or be negative. Keep it short, give a “group” answer (e.g. our office is closing, the whole organization is being reduced in size). Stick to one response; don’t change answers during the interview. When applicable; best response is: I was not on the market when PPR Career contacted me and explained what you are doing, it peaked my interest.
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.
12.How would you evaluate your present firm?
Be positive. Refer to the valuable experience you have gained. Don’t mention negatives.
13.Do you prefer working with figures, or with words?
Be aware of what the job requires and position your answer in that context. In many cases it would be both.
14.How would your co-workers describe you?
Refer to your strengths and skills.
Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.
15.What do you think of your boss?
If you like him or her, say so and tell why. If you don’t like him or her, find something positive to say.
16.Why do you want to work in a company of this size? Or this type?
Explain how this size or type of company works well for you, using examples from the past if possible.
17.If you had your choice of jobs and companies, where would you go?
Refer to job preferences. Say that this job and this company are very close to what best suits you.
18.What was the last book you read? Movie you saw? Sporting event you attended?
Think this through. Your answer should be compatible with accepted norms.
19.What are you doing, or what have you done to reach your career objectives?
Talk about formal courses and training programs.
20.What was wrong with your last company?
Again, choose your words carefully. Don’t be negative. Say that no company is perfect, it had both strengths and weaknesses
21.What kind of hours are you used to working?
“As many hours as it takes to get the job done.”
22.What would you do for us?
Relate past success in accomplishing the objectives which are similar to those of the prospective employer.
23.What’s the most difficult situation you ever faced on the job?
Remember, you’re talking to a prospective employer, not your best friend. Don’t dredge up a catastrophe that resulted in a personal or corporate failure. Be ready for this question by thinking of a story that has a happy ending – happy for you and your company. Never digress into personal or family difficulties, and don’t talk about problems you’ve had with supervisors or peers. You might discuss a difficult situation with a subordinate, provided that the issues were resolved inventively and to everyone’s satisfaction.
24.In your present position, what problems have you identified that had previously been overlooked?
Refer to accomplishments
25.Give an example of your creativity
Refer to accomplishments.
26.Give examples of your leadership abilities.

30.Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.
31.Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.
32.You may be over-qualified or too experienced for the position we have to offer.
“A strong company needs a strong person.” An employer will get faster return on investment because you have more experience than required.
33.If you could start again, what would you do differently?
No need to be self-revealing. “Hindsight is 20/20; everyone would make some changes, but I’ve learned and grown from all my decisions.”
34.What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.
35.If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it
36.Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.
37.Tell me about a suggestion you have made
Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.
38.What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great.
39.Why do you think you would do well at this job?
Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest
40.What kind of person would you refuse to work with?
Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will label you as a whiner.
Give one or two accomplishment statements

Refer to positive aspects of the job, advancement opportunities, and what you learned
