What do you think about this article? Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below.
1. Question: How do you feel about traveling?

Answer: If traveling is required to do the job, then that is what I would expect to do. I think that traveling can be exciting or boring depending on your attitude. I'm not saying that I would want to travel during my entire history with the company, but I do think that traveling for this company could be an exciting challenge.

2.    Question: What are your personal plans and ambitions?

Answer: For the immediate future, they center on finding a position like the one that I'm applying for here. In a real sense, I'm not sure that anyone can really separate their personal and professional aspirations. For the long-term future, I think that largely depends on my relationship with my next employer. Again, I'm not sure that personal and professional plans can ever be really separated.



3.    Question: How do you spend your spare time?

Answer: Well, I'm sure you will agree that most hobbies are extensions of what a person chooses to do for a living. In my case, I'm a_ (name of your profession) and (hobby or outside interest) improves my (concentration, patience, interpersonal relations, analytic ability, sense of timing, ability to plan, ability to deal with pressure, willingness to let go, sense of proportion, willingness to make decisions, etc.).

4.    Question: What extra-curricular activities did you take part in school?

Answer: I was most active in _ _ (sports, honor society, club, etc.). I found that getting involved in that activity helped to develop my (ability to concentrate, a spirit of teamwork, concern for details, interest in careful planning, positive outlook, etc.). Or Answer: I didn't have much time for extra-curricular activities because of (working, my course load, personal commitments, etc.). Still, I think that situation was more positive than anything else because it helped to develop my ability to (deal with pressure, concentrate, handle difficult people, deal with procrastination, plan things out, etc.).

5.    Question: What do you really want to do in life?

Answer: As far as I am concerned, the only way I can answer that is to say that I want to be the best Mechanic, Engineer, Nurse, Manager, Accountant, Salesperson, etc. that I can possibly be. It doesn't really matter to me where I end up in the organization as long as I know deep inside that I am making a real contribution.

Questions based on Your Career Goals.

1.    Question: What are your professional goals as far as this company is concerned?

Answer: Frankly, I think that is more or less up to the company itself. Naturally, I would like to develop myself as much as possible, but I'd have faith in my superiors to determine where I'd fit in best.

2.    Question: How do you personally measure success?

Answer: I would say that a person is successful when he or she accomplishes what he or she sets up to do. In my professional life, I measure success in terms of productivity. It isn't always a question of finishing what you set out to do. It must be done efficiently, and at the lowest possible cost in order to guarantee the well-being of the organization.

3.    Question: What do you expect to be earning five years from now?

Answer: I want to be earning what my employer thinks I am worth. To put it another way, I wouldn't join an organization unless I trusted their judgment concerning my value to them. In any case, money isn't as important as the satisfaction of doing a good job.

4.    Question: Which is more important to you; money or the type of job you get?

Answer: Money is important, of course, but not as important as the feeling of accomplishment when you are achieving results in a job that makes a significant difference. So, I would say that the type of job is more important than money, because money is just part of the end result of doing a significant job well.

5.    Question: What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?

Answer: I believe that my greatest strength is my willingness to put out 110% to get the job done. If that means long hours and hard work, I can accept that fact. On the other hand, I believe my greatest weakness is that I tend to work too hard at times, even at my own expense.

6.    Question: How would you describe yourself?

Answer: As a worker, I would describe myself as a person who is (thorough, hardworking, ethical, aggressive, self-starting, determined, a problem-solver, a team player, a company person, etc.). From what you have told me about the position, I think that my tendency to be.__ (thorough, hardworking, etc.) would be a definite asset to (name of company).

7.    Question: What motivates you?

Answer: The feeling that what I am doing is important. The more I'm challenged, the better I like it. Of course, it's not always possible to accomplish everything you set out to do, but I'm always willing to take that chance. Again, the real question is whether or not what I'm doing is important in the overall scheme of things.

8.    Question: Why would I hire you?

Answer: It is very likely that many of the other people who are applying for this job have approximately the same background and skills that I have. But I doubt that anyone has the same interest in the job that I have. And I also doubt that the others are as _ _ (motivated, hardworking, thorough, creative, concerned about the environment, dependable, etc.) as I am. So, I guess my answer is that I'm extremely interested in this position and that I believe my _ (work ethic, motivation, thoroughness, creativity, etc.) will make me successful in performing the job.

9.    Question: What qualities do you think a successful should possess?

Answer: First, I think he should be a team player. Unless he can see the broad picture and cooperate with others for the good of the organization, he won't be much good to you. Second, I think he should be an achiever; someone who will get the job done. Third, and perhaps most important, he should be a self-starter who doesn't wait to be told what to do all of the time. And fourth, the person should be dependable. If you can't count on an accountant, engineer, salesman, etc. to be dependable, anything else they do is overshadowed.

10.    Question: What employment related accomplishment has given you the most satisfaction?

Answer: Once, when I was working for (another company name) I solved a problem involving (money, working conditions, a mechanical process, saving time, etc.). The company was appreciative and it made me feel good to be able to help the company.
