A job interview focuses on "what you say" and "how you say it". As you probably already know, there are many different types of interviews and interview questions. Generally speaking, though, you're going to be asked about: |
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
What you know - about your work experience, education, training, goals, character, personal qualities, the job that you're seeking, the company that you're interviewing for, and the knowledge required to perform the job that you're seeking. |
|
|
|
Identify a problem or issue - given a situation, find the problem or issue. The question may focus on a situation that you've handled in the past or how you would handle a hypothetical situation. |
|
|
|
Identify a solution - given the problem or issue, how do you proceed? The question may focus on a problem or issue that you've handled in the past or how you would proceed in a hypothetical situation. |

The questions may be straightforward or combine the above. For example, "Tell us about a safety issue at your current job. How did you handle the issue and what reports were you required to file?" Your goal is to provide an answer that not only answers the question, but also reinforce your qualifications for the position. |

People prepare for job interview questions in many ways. Often people will write specific answers to as many specific questions as possible and memorize the answers. We recommend looking at categories of questions and using outline answers. Why? With practice, you will hit all the important points and although your answer will be slightly different each time, your answer will come across naturally and with confidence. The key is to be able to think during the interview and adjust your answer to fit the question. |

The most qualified person to do a job is someone who has already done the job. If you were to hire someone to fix the plumbing in your house, who would you hire? Someone who has never fixed the plumbing or someone who has? As you answer the interview questions, cite your work and life experiences in examples to reinforce to the interviewers that you've already done what they're looking for, and you've done it successfully. |
|
|
|
Try to use the same wording as the job description provided for. If you use different wording, then you are depending on the interviewers to make the connection between the words you use and the words the employer uses. For example, if the job requires someone to supervise, use the word "supervise" and not the word "manage". |
