1. How would you describe yourself?

Sample excellent response:
My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.


2. What specific goals, including those related to your occupation, have you established for your life?

Sample excellent response:
I want to be working for an excellent company like yours in a job in which I am managing information. I plan to contribute my leadership, interpersonal, and technical skills. My long-range career goal is to be the best information systems technician I can for the company I work for.


3. How has your college experience prepared you for a business career?

Sample excellent response:
I have prepared myself to transition into the the work force through real-world experience involving travel abroad, internship, and entrepreneurial opportunities. While interning with a private organization in Ecuador, I developed a 15-page marketing plan composed in Spanish that recommended more effective ways the company could promote its services. I also traveled abroad on two other occasions in which I researched the indigenous culture of the Mayan Indians in Todos Santos, Guatemala, and participate in a total language immersion program in Costa Rica. As you can see from my academic, extracurricular, and experiential background, I have unconditionally committed myself to success as a marketing professional.


4. Please describe the ideal job for you following graduation.

Sample excellent response (equates ideal job with job he's interviewing for):
My ideal job is one that incorporates both my education and practical work skills to be the best I can be. Namely combining my education in finance with my working knowledge of customer service operations, entrepreneurial abilities, computer skills, and administrative skills. I want to utilize my analytical expertise to help people meet their financial goals. This is exactly why I am convinced that I would be a very valuable member of the Accenture team.


5. What influenced you to choose this career?

Sample excellent response:
My past experiences have shown me that I enjoy facing and overcoming the challenge of making a sale. Without a doubt, once I have practiced my presentation and prepared myself for objections, I feel very confident approaching people I don't know and convincing them that they need my product. Lastly, I like sales because my potential for success is limited only by how much of myself I dedicate toward my goal. If any profession is founded on self-determinism, it surely must be sales.

6. At what point did you choose this career?

Sample excellent response:
I knew that I wanted to pursue information systems technology about my sophomore year in college. It was then that I realized that my hobby (computers) was taking up most of my time. My favorite courses were IT courses. I also realized that I was doing computer-oriented work-study that I enjoyed so much I would have done it for free.
7. What specific goals have you established for your career?

Sample excellent response:
My goals include becoming a Certified Financial Advisor so I can obtain a better working knowledge of financial research analysis, which would allow me contribute to my client base as a better financial consultant since I would have that extra insight into the companies they are seeking to invest in. Also this is the foundation block to advancing my career to portfolio manager or even branch office manager.


8. What will it take to attain your goals, and what steps have you taken toward attaining them?

Sample excellent response:
I've already done some research on other workers at Accenture to see how they achieved similar goals. I know that Accenture encourages the pursuit and will reimburse for tuition of a graduate degree. I plan on pursuing a MBA to give me an even more extensive knowledge of business and financial analysis.

Your self-introduction in an interview is an extremely important part of the entire time, especially if the job will be in management or sales.

You typically have about 20 or 30 seconds to introduce yourself. We call this 'the elevator speech'.

Eye contact is very important. You should engage, make eye contact, but not stare down or threaten the other person. The handshake is important, somewhat firm but not crushing. Posture is important. Remaining somewhat close, leaning slightly forward if distances permit, head up, shoulders balanced.

You should clearly say your name, what you do, what you would like to do, something that shows you know something about the business, and how you think you can help the person on the other side of the desk.  You can refer articles and essays about myself examples or self introduction tips.

Your introductory statement or Career Overview should include the things like this:

1. An interesting story line which relates to the job profile and your suitability; usually best to start at the earliest point in your career and work forward to the present day, so the last thing you tell them is the most recent and relevant in you job profile.

2. This self introduction MUST highlight your key strengths and achievements which dovetail into the needs of the prospective employer. You should have read the job description and person specification so you know exactly what they're looking for.

3. You should speak clearly, in straightforward language, with good eye contact and without jargon, but keep it to 3 minutes or less.

4. As you come up to date, include a brief version of your leaving story or exit statement to explain why you're applying for the job and why you're so excited to be with them today. And being excited and enthusiastic is worth so much to a jaded interviewer.
