what kinds of questions do managers usually ask on a job interview? I am a shy guy and get nervous with things like this so i want to be well prepared.

Job Interview Preparation - The Tips & Tricks You Need to Know



Recommended Answer:
General questions include:

- Why are you applying for this position?
- Name a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer.
- Name a time when you showed leadership?
- If you witnessed a fellow co-worker breaking the rules (stealing etc) what would you do?
- What was your favorite job and why?
- What was your least favorite job and why?
- Have you ever had to deal with a disagreement with your boss? How did you handle the situation?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (always a good idea to say in a higher position within the company & emphasize your drive to succeed) The tricky one you should think about before going in is:
-What are some of your weaknesses? Set this one up as a positive set up as a negative. People usually use the "I'm too much of a perfectionist" answer, try to be more creative though. I can't help you out with an example since I don't know what position you're applying for.Just a few examples from my experience. The most important thing is to always make eye contact, sit up straight and smile even though you're nervous. It will make you appear more confident. It also always helps to know a little bit about the place you're applying too. Look at their website, most places have an "about the company" page. It will impress the employer that you cared to do some research.

If you're nervous just take a deep breath and just say "sorry I'm a bit nervous". The employer is on your side and will completely understand that interviews can be nerve wrecking sometimes. Take your time answering the questions and try to give as many examples as possible.

  • And good interviewer will start out with a few "getting to know you" questions to help you relax.

    When they get into the interview, be ready for questions like "why do you want to work here" or "why should I hire you".

    Good luck.
