最近好多人在问interview 时的问题, 及注意事项. 下面是一些interview tips, 及sample questions.
希望可以帮到大家。。。。。。。。
Before the interview – ‘be prepared!’
It is imperative to research the organisation that youare interviewing with. This will show the prospective employee that you notonly understand their business, but also that you are enthusiastic about theopportunity and willing to go the extra mile.
The Internet is a great source of information, and thecompany’s website should be able to give you the kind of information you willneed. If you are able to research the company in more practical ways (forexample, by visiting their store or buying their product), this is alsorecommended.
Themost useful information to research includes:
·
The type of product or service they provide
·
Their vision/mission statement
·
The company history
·
Their competitors
During the interview – ‘listen and showenthusiasm!’
·
Ensure you are dressed to impress! First impressionsreally do count, so ensure you look the part in a smart suit.
·
Arriving early for the interview is always advised,however not too early. Arriving 5-10 minutes early is optimum.
·
Always ensure you know exactly who to ask for atreception and you are aware of who will be interviewing you (name and jobtitle).
·
Good body language is vital to making a good impression. Greet you interviewer standing with a strong handshake, a friendly smile and by looking them in the eye.
·
An enthusiastic, friendly and positive attitude will make a great impression – so keep thinking happy thoughts!
·
The interview will generally start with an introductory chat, and then move onto more formal questions (see ‘Commonly Asked Interview Questions’), concluding with the opportunity for you to ask any remaining questions.
·
Ensure you are familiar with your CV. You will beexpected to talk through it; paying particular attention to the experience youhave that lends itself well to the role on offer.
·
Listen carefully to the questions that the interviewer asks. Ensure you give relevant answers and use examples rather than one-wordanswers.
·
Show enthusiasm for the role and company. If they have gone to the trouble of interviewing you they are most likely to already be ofthe opinion that you can do the job – they now is your chance to reassure the interviewer that you will be an asset to the organisation!
Commonly asked interview questions
Question: "Tell me about yourself"
This is an open-ended question often asked tohelp "break the ice" in an interview. This question may be used toassess your personality, preparation, communication skills and ability to thinkon your feet. The important thing to remember is to keep the answerjob-related.
Question: "Why did you leave your last job?"
Respond positively — “to extend my career through international experience"...or “increased responsibility and greater variety of work..."
Question: "Why do you want to do this job /work for this company?"
This will show the employer that you have doneyour "homework." Demonstrate your knowledge of the company and emphasise your suitability for the position.
Question: "What do you think you have to offer this company?"
This is a chance to sing your own praises and express interest in the role and organisation. You should concentrate on the skills you currently poses, which are required for the position.
Question: "What do you think this position involves?"
This question is designed to reveal if you have thought about the position, done some research, listened to the interviewer,and can summarise all of this information clearly.
Question: "What do you know about the company?"
Demonstrate your interest in the job, and your understanding of the organisation and industry. Talk about the research you didinto the company's key areas of interest, its size, its main customers orcurrent status, making reference to your source of information.
Question: "Do you have any questions you would like to ask?"
Prepare a question toask the interviewer. By asking questions, you again show interest in the job.Ask about the position, request clarification of general information about thecompany, or summarise your understanding and request confirmation.
Question: "What do you believe are your key strengths?"
This is the time to describe the skills you have identified that will most effectively "market" you as an employee.Prepare responses that give specific examples of your strengths at previous positions that will support your job application.
Question: "What do you believe are your weaknesses?"
No one readily admits real weaknesses in an interview situation. It is general knowledge that this is an opportunity toturn the question into a positive. Think of something that relates to your experience of work that is plausible as a weakness but is not really a negativepoint. For example "I put a lot of pressure on myself to meet deadlines"or "I become very focussed on the projects I am involved in".Alternatively you can turn your weakness into a positive by showing how you overcame the weakness. "In the past, it has been difficult for me to accept criticism from my colleagues. However, I have learned to value constructive criticism as I find it helps improved my job performance."
Question: "What do you enjoy most about your current / last job?"
The trick with this question is to list theaspects of your role you have enjoyed, and which strongly relate to the key competencies of the position in question, and mention that you are looking forward to expanding your experience and skill-base in these areas.
Question: "Where do you see yourself in five years time?"
This is an assessment of the extent of yourambition and career planning. You should demonstrate that your long-term goalsare appropriate for the position being discussed.
Question: What do you consider the most noteworthy accomplishment in your last job?
Give examples of ways in which you saved the company time or money or developed a strategy or procedure that improved efficiency.
Question: "Do you work well under pressure?"
Answer with a 'yes', and give a specific exampleof a time when you were under pressure and how you rose to the challenge.
‘Behavioural’ or ‘competency’ based interviews
Question: "Can you tell us about a time when you make aparticularly good decision? What was the situation? What decision did you makeand how did you make it? How did others respond? How did you determine that itwas a particularly good decision?"
Question: "Can you tell me about a time when you have encountered conflict in the workplace?"
Question: "Can you tell us about a time when you exceeded aclient’s expectations? What were their expectations? How did you determine their expectations? How did you exceed them and why? How did they respond?"
These ‘behavioural’ or ‘competency’ based interview questions are designed to elicit information about your abilities andaptitude in relation to the position on offer.
In the interview, your response needs to bespecific and detailed. Tell the interviewer about a particular situation thatrelates to the question, not a general one. When answering the question try toplan your answers in the following format – Situation, Action, Outcome.
S A O – Situation, action, outcome
Situation
What was the situation? Describe the situation to set the scene
Action
What did you do as a reaction to this situation? Talk about ‘I’ rather than ‘We’. The interviewer is interested in what you did, not the company as a whole.
Outcome
What was the result ofyour action? The interviewer is looking to see a positive result so aim to reflect success in the outcome.
