Job Interview Questions

Often, those who will interview you for a job have already read your
resume, and they know about your academic background. The reason they
want to see you, in a personal interview, is so they can evaluate what kind of
person you are, whether you will fit into the professional environment, and
whether the quality of your English is up-to-standard. They can ask you
anything they want, but the usual sort of questions are as follow :
Why do you want to become an auditor (or whatever)?
What makes you think you will be a good auditor?
What personal qualities would make you an asset to the company?
What do you know about our company?
How did you find out about our company?
Have you had any previous experience in this field?
Do you like working on your own or in a team?
Are you a responsible person? Give an example.
Do you have a sense of discipline? Give an example.
What do you want from the company?
What sort of salary do you expect?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Do you want to further your formal education?
Did you contribute to student life at university?
Tell us something about your family.
What do you do in your free time?
What kind of magazines do you like to read?
How do you normally spend your weekends?
What are your strong points?
What are your weak points?
Who is your role model and why?
Whatever they ask you, start speaking right away. Do not show any
hesitation or confusion. Be yourself and speak freely and openly andmaybe
you will be exactly what they are looking for. They already have a certain
profile in mind, and if you fit that profile, you will probably be accepted.
