4 Tricky Questions You’ll Face

In a Entry-Level Job Interview

1.What is your biggest weakness?

This is a tricky one because you don’t want to say

a perfectionist or that
something cliché, like you're
you are your own biggest critic.

The hiring manager is looking for an honest answer

and wants to see how self-aware you are of your
weaknesses. But you also don’t want to share
something that may impact your performance on
the job. Instead, try to go with something that isn’t
related to the job and focus on how you are working
to improve it.

If public speaking makes you nervous, you could say:

Sometimes I get nervous before speaking to a group
of people. To address this issue, I have started my
mentorship sessions with a public speaking coach
last month and now I feel much more confident.
 2. Tell me about a time when
you failed at something?
The strategy here is to talk about an actual
failure, but one that wouldn’t totally affect your
ability to be successful at this job.

Everyone fails or makes mistakes sometimes,

but not everyone recovers gracefully.

The hiring manager wants to see that you can be

honest about times you have failed and own up
to them.

They also want to see how you learned from

your mistakes.
 3. How would you manage a
difficult customer?
You have to be ready for this one if you're in a
customer-facing industry.

The hiring manager is looking for insight into

your communication and interpersonal skills.

Think about how you would handle this situation

including your approach and the steps you
would take to ensure the customer's concerns
were dealt with leading to a positive outcome.
4. What would you do if you were
faced with multiple deadlines
and a heavy workload?

The hiring manager is testing to see how well

you cope with pressure and if you can
successfully prioritize your workload to meet
demands.

Consider possible solutions, like how you’d

prioritize, delegate, or ask for help.

Describe, step-by-step how you would

successfully manage these challenges.
