50 Common Interview Questions and How to answer them

Posted on March 28, 2013. Filed under: Hr, Inspirational, Personal development, Sales & Marketing, Uncategorized | Tags: how to answer Job interview Questions, Hr Interview questions, Interview questions, Job interview Questions, Questions for Job Interview, Sample Job inerview Questions |

ImageReview these typical interview questions and think about how you would
answer them. Read the questions listed; you will also find some
strategy suggestions with it.


(Excerpted from the book The Accelerated Job Search by Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D, published by The Management Advantage, Inc.)

1. Tell me about yourself:
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short
statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound
rehearsed. Limit it to 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 item farthest
back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major
problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers
or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep
smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
reasons.
3. 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.
4. Do you consider yourself successful?
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are
on track to achieve the others.


5. What do co-workers say about you?Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific
statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith
Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It
is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.
6. What do you know about this organization?This question is one reason to do some research on the organization
before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are
going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?
7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide
variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.
Have some good ones handy to mention.
8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is
a distraction.
9. Why do you want to work for this organization?
This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the
research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term
career goals.
10. 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.
11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if
you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,
That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.

Image
12. Are you a team player?You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.
Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather
than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,
just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.
13. 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.
14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you
like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the
right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the
individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the
organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in
force.
15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here.
Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the
type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a
benefit to the organization.
16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type
of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.
17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying
negative things about the people or organization involved.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Tell me about a suggestion you have madeHave a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted
and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work
applied for is a real plus.
21. What irritates you about co-workers?This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with
anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get
along with folks is great.
22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability
to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude
23. Tell me about your dream job.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you
are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another
job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with
this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.
24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.
25. What are you looking for in a job?See answer # 23
26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization,
violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will
label you as a whiner.
27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is
no better answer.
28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
There are numerous good possibilities:
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,
Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver
29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
30. What has disappointed you about a job?
Don’t get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did
not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.
31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.
You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an
example that relates to the type of position applied for.
32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?
Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want
another job more than this one.
33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?
This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are:
Challenge, Achievement, Recognition
34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?
This is up to you. Be totally honest.
35. How would you know you were successful on this job?
Several ways are good measures:
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a
success.Your boss tell you that you are successful
36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if
you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get
the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems
later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself
future grief.
37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.
38. Describe your management style.Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.
39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make
it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An
example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and
thus throwing coordination off.
40. Do you have any blind spots?Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind
spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do
their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.
41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.
42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well
qualified for the position.
43. How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about,
bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working
quick learner.
44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?
Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of
humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All
bosses think they have these traits.
45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute betweenothers.Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique
and not the dispute you settled.
46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.
47. Describe your work ethic.Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to
get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.
48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show
acceptance and no negative feelings.
49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.
Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.
50. Do you have any questions for me?Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are
examples.

in a recent interview with Channels TV, The Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), Obafaiye Shem embarrassed himself on live TV as he struggled to give a reply to the question; what’s the website of the NSCDC?

Shem said he would have to ask “his oga at the top” but after persuasion from the presenters he gave a shabby website address that shocked the country. “It’s www.nscdc, that’s it,” he said.

Read Transcript below...

JUST MIMICKING FLAVOURS TRIBUTE SONG TO Mc LOPH EWE NE WE MU O O MAN U A LAA. EVEN ARSENAL WON WITH 10 MAN AGAINST SUNDERLAND

santanovva: Before the 17th of January, whenever you used your card on another bank's atm machine, there was an instant charge of N100 but with the intervention of the cbn, this was discontinued. The point to note is that the 100 being collected earlier was not all profit for the banks but they also used part of it to offset expenses associated with atm maintenance and usage.Interswitch still had to be paid for connecting the transactions.

None of the banks are in business to do 'the boy is good business' but rather, profitability is the goal.Again, I believe the harsh financial and business environment of Nigeria calls for shrewd business orientation and execution.If Sanusi ends the 100 inter-atm charge, on whose head does he intend shifting the bill? The banks?think again!

The good news is that even if you use your card 20 times (on different atm machines)in a month, ALL you would be charged is just 100 (or 200 as some banks practice)

If you are really averse to this monthly charge then please, don't even activate your card at all (don't change the default pin) but rather go into the bank and make an over-the-counter withdrawal.If I am not mistaken,such over-the-counter withdrawals that is not over 100k also attracts a charge every time - N100 or so

WHAT IS ATM MACHINES SMH

FIRST BANK MOVED THE MOTION TO STOP THE CHARGES ON CASH WITHDRAWAL ON ATM'S AND WHERE THE ONE THAT STARTED IT BEFORE CBN GAVE A MANDATE FOR ALL BANK TO FOLLOW SUIT WITH EFFECT FROM 17TH DEC 2012. SO AFTER FINDING OUT THAT IT IS TELLING ON THEM THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER MAKING PROFITS FROM THE CHANGE THEY MOVED FOR THEY ARE NOW INTRODUCING ANODA CHARGE. I AM VERY SORRY FOR CUSTOMERS COS VERY SOON ALL BANKS WILL DO SAME. WELL I STILL BANK WITH UNION BANK

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME IN DOING THIS RESEARCH. IT HAS HELPED ALOT. THANKS

The alleged beneficiaries will not refute or confirm if they accepted Odili’s ‘stolen’ funds.
All the parties involved or mentioned in the N100 billion allegedly stolen from the treasury of Rivers State by former governor, Peter Odili, as reported by citizen journalism outfit, Sahara Reporters, last Sunday, declined to comment on the alleged scam when contacted by PREMIUM TIMES.

Last Sunday, the New York based organisation, reported that it has obtained draft charges that were never presented in court and prepared by activist lawyer, Festus Keyamo, for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, during the tenure of Farida Waziri as the commission’ chairman.

The charges showed how Mr. Odili, using 24 other prominent government officials, media owners, and businessmen, carried out the widespread plundering of the state’s treasury.

Mr. Keyamo, who still represents the EFCC in several other corruption cases, did not deny that the charges existed or whether he did prepare them for the commission. He, however, declined to comment.

“I have no comment about it. You can find out from Lamorde (EFCC Chairman),” said Mr. Keyamo in a telephone chat with PREMIUM TIMES.
Just like Mr. Keyamo, the EFCC was also non-committal on the charges, neither confirming nor denying its authenticity.

The commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said he cannot comment on the charge as the said charge was written during the tenure of Mrs. Waziri, immediate past chairman of the commission. When pressed for more details, Mr. Uwujaren referred us to Mr. Keyamo.
Arik, largest recipient keeps mum

The document shows that between January 2004 and December 2006, the Arik Air boss, Arumemi-Ikhide, received over N60 billion from the River State’s account, making the airline boss the largest beneficiary of the fraudulent sum.

Sources say Mr. Odili used the money to buy into Arik Air although he is not listed as one of the owners of the airline.

When PREMIUM TIMES asked Arik if it indeed received the money from the politician and what it was meant for, the airline’s spokesperson, Ola Adebanji, declined to comment.

Daar Communications, others keep mum

Just like the originators of the charges, the alleged beneficiaries of the state funds would also not comment.

The managements of media house alleged to have benefitted from the lush fund refuse to speak about their alleged involvement in the fraud.
According to the charge sheet, between 2004 and 2007, Mr. Odili gave about N2 billion to Raymond Dokpesi, founder of Daar Communications PLC, owners of AIT and Raypower FM; over N300 million was given to Nduka Obaigbena, owner of Leaders and Company, publishers of ThisDay Newspapers; John Momoh, proprietor of Channels Television Ltd, allegedly collected N50 million; while over N100 million was given to Newswatch Communications Ltd.
Prominent editors, columnists and reporters were also alleged beneficiaries of Mr Odili’s stained fund.

Mr. Obaigbena did not answer his calls and refused to reply to text messages sent to his mobile phone. Channels Television’s Controller of News, Ambrose Okoh, told PREMIUM TIMES that he is not aware of any money given to his organisation. He immediately disconnected the call and refused to answer other calls made to his telephone number.

The Executive Director News of Daar Communications Plc, Imoni Amarere, would not respond to our enquiries on what the money the company got was meant for.

“I’m not Daar Communications spokesperson. Talk to the company’s public affair department,” he said in a telephone conversation. The email message sent to the public affairs department of the company as put on its website was not responded to.

Sources say the money Mr. Odili gave to Daar was what helped the company survive during its financial crisis during the Obasanjo administration. It is not clear if the company knew the money was actually state funds.

Senior PDP members also implicated
Saharareporters stated that the 220-count draft indictment revealed how Mr. Odili and 24 others, including former People’s Democratic Party, PDP, national chairmen, Ahmadu Ali and Barnabas Gemade; former Minister of Aviation, Babalola Borisade; retired army general, Ike Nwachukwu, partook in misappropriating the funds. Others allegedly included are: Pauline Tallen, Olufemi Agagu, and a professor, Ukandi Damanchi.

The name of businesses included in the charge sheet are Courage Communications Ltd, Attn Ltd, Ragolis Water Ltd, M/S Wetland Health Services Ltd, Transky Ltd, Foby Eng. Ltd, First Medical/Sterile Company Ltd, Habila Resources Ltd, Rockson Engineering Co. Ltd, Ojemai Farms Ltd, Ojemai Investments Ltd, and Godsonic Oil Company Ltd, an oil company owned by Peter Odili which also has business interests in the Nigeria/Sao Tome Joint Development Zone (JDZ) Block 4.

Mr. Odili also wasted state funds on party officials. Mr. Ali, Mrs. Agagu, Mr. Gemade and Mr. Nwachukwu allegedly got N20 million each.
Between September 2005 and 2006 over N4 billion was paid to Mr. Borisade in the guise that the money will be used for the renovation of the Port Harcourt Airport, according to the document.

The affidavit shows that on March 3 and March 10, 2006, Mr. Odili withdrew $2 million (N300 million) for personal use claiming the money was meant to sponsor senior government officials for an overseas trip. Towards the end of his tenure in office, Mr. Odili allegedly intensified his looting. On March 16, 2007, he withdrew another $2 million under the same guise of sponsoring state officials for a foreign trip. A month later, on April 20, he did another withdrawal of $2 million for the same purpose, On May 23, 2007, six days before his tenure expired, Mr. Odili withdrew another $1 million, the document stated.

Also Mr. Odili, through an aide, Emmanuel Nkatah, posted to the state’s liaison office in Abuja, allegedly withdrew over N4 billion from the state’s Zenith Bank account No. 6010916567.
Perpetual injunction
In 2007, Mr. Odili obtained a perpetual injunction shielding him from prosecution or investigation for corruption by anti-graft agencies. The injunction was granted by Justice Nyaure Buba of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt. Mr. Buba has now been transferred to Lagos.

After Nigerians and the international community condemned the EFCC’S non-prosecution of Mr. Odili, the commission picked up gusto in prosecuting the former governor for the various allegations, and appealed against the injunction.

Five years after the appeal was filed, the Court of Appeal is yet to sit to hear the suit. Mr. Odili’s wife, Mary, was a judge of the Court of Appeal until February 2011, when President Goodluck Jonathan approved her promotion to a justice of the Supreme Court.
Group reacts
The Chairman of the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, Debo Adeniran, said Mr. Odili treated the state treasury like a personal purse while he was governor. He said state funds went to “private hands” and Mr. Odili “presided over the sharing.”

Mr. Adeniran said he is not surprised that some media houses were alleged to have received some of the money:

“Most of the media houses are compromised. Remember Odili and Ibori (convicted ex-governor of Delta State) are major shareholders in many media houses. They own the largest percentage of media houses today. It is easy for money bags to buy them (media houses) over,” he said.

Mr. Adeniran exonerated Mr. Keyamo from any blame saying as a consultant he can only do what his client (the EFCC) directs him to do.
