Why should we hire you?
This is your chance to “sell” yourself. Briefly and clearly describe your strengths, your qualifications and what you can contribute to the company. Be careful not to give too general an answer. Almost everyone said they were hard workers and motivated. Give answers that show your uniqueness.
Why are you interested in working for this company?
This question is one of the tools for the interviewer to see if you prepared yourself well. Never come for a job interview without knowing the background of the company. By having sufficient information about the company, the questions above provide an opportunity for you to show initiative, and show whether your experience and qualifications are commensurate with the position required.
What is your main weakness?
The secret to answering these questions is to be honest about your weaknesses, but don’t forget to explain how you turned those weaknesses into strengths. For example, if you had a problem with a former company, show the steps you took. This shows that you have the ability to identify aspects that need improvement and take the initiative to improve yourself.
Why did you leave your previous company?
Even if you quit your previous job in a bad way, you should be careful how you answer. Try to give a diplomatic answer. If you give an answer that contains a negative aspect, compensate the answer with a positive answer. If you complain about your previous job, then this doesn’t give you any points.
How do you solve the problem?
It’s not easy to give an answer when you get a question like the one above, especially if you’ve just graduated and have no work experience. The interviewer wants to see if you can think critically and develop solutions regardless of the type of problem you face, even if you don’t have enough time to tackle the problem at hand. Describe the steps you took to prioritize work. This shows that you are responsible and can still think clearly even when facing problems.
What achievements are you proud of?
The secret of the question above is to select and select specific achievements related to the position being offered. Even if you won basketball in college, this is not an expected answer. Provide answers that are more professional and more relevant. Think about the qualifications required by the company and develop examples that show how you can meet the company’s needs.
How much salary do you expect?
This question is the most difficult question especially for those who do not have sufficient work experience. All you need to do before the interview is find out the salary market for the position offered so that you can provide an answer to this question. Tell the interviewer that you are open to talking about compensation when the time comes. If forced, give an answer in the form of a range of numbers, not a specific number.
Can you tell us about yourself?
Maybe the above question seems easy but in reality it is not as easy as you think. Of course, you should realize that the interviewer is not interested in knowing what you do on the weekends or where you are from. The interviewer is trying to get to know you professionally. Prepare two or three points about yourself, both your work experience and your career goals and stay consistent. Summarize your answer by expressing your desire to be part of the company. If you have a solid answer then this can lead you to a conversation that shows your qualifications.
