Top 3 Interview Questions and Ways to Answer Them

Nov 04, 2016

1. "Tell me about yourself."

The interviewer doesn't like to listen to your favorite hobbies, issues or things you love to do.
This is your chance to express yourself so, tell them about the particular position, reasons why you like to do etc.

Example: "I have three years of accounting experience, and spent the past two years as an Accountant at ABC Corp.
Collecting information, Inserting & Reporting data.

2. " What do you think is your greatest weakness?"

Don't say anything that could make negative impact on them. Like, "I can't make a quick change" not an answer 
they are looking for. And don't try the old ways of answering "I'm a perfectionist."
One good way to answer this question is honestly state a real weakness that won't affect your ability 
to do the job, or say a skill that you are learning and want to develop.

Example: "I'm not as good as I'd like to be on social media, 
so I'm giving only couple of hours a day blogging about things
I'm in love with, and reading some articles on social media. 
I'm already learning some things I can use here, 
and wish to find more ideas on how to deal with social media as a customer relationship tool."


3. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

This question is one of the most common questions.
I believe no one knows exactly where they'll be after five years, the easiest way to reply this is with an answer that says you wish to be well established as someone who is supporting that organization succeed.

You can also twist the same question back to the interviewer, and ask where they see the company in coming 5 years.
You might not have idea of a personal standard where you'll be, but most companies have goals and plans that seek forward 2 to 5 years.
Their reply might provide you a nice idea if it's a company worth sticking around that long for.
