Improve your chance of interview success with thorough preparation.
In traditional interviews you will likely ask a variety of questions based on your background, experience and ambitions in order to assess your suitability.
There are essentially four categories of question:
• Candidate's Work History
• Specific Information about the candidate's personality
• Details about the company and the vacancy
• Future plans and ambitions
Here is a short list of some of the most common interview questions as well as the sorts of answers that interviewers a looking for. The list refers to categories 1 and 2 - work history and candidate information.
Candidate's work history
Why did you leave your last job?
This is a very typical question and a perfect opportunity to talk positively about the future especially if there were 'complications' for you leaving or planning to leave a job. Don't whatever you do use this as a platform to sound off about a boss or a policy or situation that you don't get on with. Moaning will reflect badly on your application and do nothing but harm your chances.
Respond positively: you want to advance your career, better promotion opportunities, additional responsibility, better training opportunities, more variety etc
It's more than likely that you will meet this question so do yourself a favour and think hard about your particular circumstances. Rehearse your responses to come across clearly and positively when expressing your future ambitions.
What were/are your responsibilities?
Be positive and be specific. Try to align your existing role with the responsibilities associated in the position you are applying for. Highlight the crossover and make it as easy as possible for the interviewer to identify and relate to the benefits you offer.
Be honest about your skills and experience. Don't oversell or make stretch the extent of your abilities and responsibilities too far.
Specific Information about the candidate's personality
What is your greatest strength?
This should be one of the least challenging interview questions but still deserving of preparation. Focus your attributes specifically on the job under discussion. Recount your qualities that qualify you for that specific job and don't allow yourself to indulge in irrelevant trumpet blowing.
Tell me about yourself
This is such a common interview question that it's surprising how few interviewees take the trouble to prepare their answer. Always expect a 'tell me about yourself' question.
As ever, it's benefits and not features that the interviewer is really interested in so prepare a pithy, to the point USP pitch. Deliver a short synopsis detailing your biggest strength and the major benefit that a prospective employer will derive from your contribution. If you can add a monetary value to your endeavours so much the better.
Fond as many people are of talking about themselves, when it comes to interview, employers simply aren't interested in a rambling monologue, however witty or erudite. They want to see that you have clearly interpreted the requirements of the vacant position and that you are the person to meet them.
Call it 'personal branding', call it 'me PLC' or call it your elevator pitch, a succinct précis of your strengths and benefits will make you both a memorable and preferred candidate.
