Interview tips
Interviewing HintsIn preparing for an interviewing, whether face to face or phone, it is important you know about the company and individual you're interviewing with. Company information is easily obtainable off the company's information web site. There are also many other sources if the company is publicly held.Knowing yourself, your skills, accomplishments and goals can play a big part in your interviewing success. You should be prepared to give the hiring official the information they ask for at the time of the interview. Below are a few questions to help you know yourself. There are many good interviewing books on the market to help you in the process. You can never be too prepared. Can you tell me about a time when you...
- Worked effectively under pressure.
- Had to adapt to a difficult situation.
- Had to deal with an irate customer, tenant, etc.
- Made the wrong hiring decision.
- Had to fire an employee.
General questions
- What is the most significant thing you have learned from your present/last job?
- Which job in your career did you like most and why?
- Describe your personality.
- How do you handle criticism?
- What would your boss say about you?
- What is the hardest thing you've ever had to do in your job?
- If you could change anything about your present/last company, what would it be?
- What type of people do you not like to work with?
- What is your biggest accomplishment in your career?
- Do you consider yourself to be a team player? In what way?
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
