The most frequently asked General Interview Questions
Tell me about yourself?
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to be short in your answer. Let the answer contain work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the first one till the present.
Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.
Why did you leave your last job?
Be as positive as possible. Never refer to a major problem with management, supervisors, co-workers, or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special, or other forward-looking reasons.
What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to know something on the organization before the interview. Learn basic things about the organisation like where they have been, and where they are going. What are the current issues, and who are the major players?
What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.
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.
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.
How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work:
"I'd like it to be a long time." or
"As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job."
