Tough

Interview

Questions

These

are

some of the more difficult interview questions that you

may be asked on a job interview.

Customer Service / Retail Interview Questions

These

are

questions

you

may

be

asked

on

an

interview

for

a

retail

or

customer

service

position.

Interview

Questions

to

Ask

The

last

job

interview

question

you

may be asked is

Have an

interview question or two of your own ready to ask. You

aren't

simply

trying

to

get

this

job

-

you

are

also

interviewing

the

employer

to

assess

whether

this

company

and

the

position

are

a

good

fit

for

you.

Behavior

Based

Interview

Questions

In

addition

to

being

ready

to

answer

these

standard

questions,

prepare for behavior based interview questions. This is

based

on

the

premise

that

a

candidate's

past

performance is the best predictor of future performance.

You

will

you

need

to

be

prepared

to

provide

detailed

responses

including

specific

examples

of

your

work

experiences.

The

best

way

to

prepare

is

to

think

of

examples

where

you

have

successfully

used

the

skills

you've

acquired.

Compile

Responses

to

Interview

Questions

Take the time to compile a list of responses

to both types of interview questions and to itemize your

skills, values, and interests as well as your strengths and

weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the

company

rather

than

just

what

you

are

interested

in.

1.

Tell

me

about

yourself.

It

seems

like

an

easy

interview

question.

It’s

open

ended.

I

can

talk

about

whatever

I

want

from

the

birth

canal

forward.

Right?

Wrong. What the hiring manager really wants is a quick,

two- to three-minute snapshot of who you are and why

you’re

the best candidate for this position. So as you

answer

this

question,

talk

about

what

you’ve

done

to

prepare yourself to be the very best candidate for the

position.

Use

an

example

or two

to back

it up.

Then

ask

if

they

would

like

more

details.

If

they

do,

keep

giving them example after example of your background

and

experience.

Always

point

back

to

an

example

when

you

have

the

opportunity.

“Tell

me

about

yourself” does not mean tell me everything. Just tell me

what makes you the best. 2.

Why should I hire you?

The

easy

answer

is

that

you

are

the

best

person

for

the job. And don’t be afraid to say so. But then back it

up

with

what

specifically

differentiates

you.

For

example:

“You

should

hire

me

because

I’m

the

best

person for the job. I realize that there are likely other

candidates who also have the ability to do this job.

Yet I bring an additional quality that makes me the best

person

for

the

job --my

passion

for

excellence.

I

am

passionately committed to producing truly world class

results. For example . . .” Are you the best person for

the job? Show it by your passionate examples. 3. What

is your long-range objective?

Make my job easy for

me. Make me want to hire you. The key is to focus on

your achievable objectives

and what you

are doing to

reach

those

objectives.

For

example:

“Within

five

years,

I

would

like

to

become

the

very

best

accountant your company has on staff. I want to work

toward

becoming

the

expert

that

others

rely

upon.

And i

n doing so, I feel I’ll be fully prepared to take on

any

greater

responsibilities

which

might

be

presented

in

the

long

term.

For

example,

here

is

what

I’m

presently doing to prepare myself . . .” Then go on to

show

by

your

examples

what

you

are

doing

to

reach

your goals and objectives. 4. How has your education

prepared

you

for

your

career?

This

is

a

broad

question

and

you

need

to

focus

on

the

behavioral

examples

in

your

educational

background

which

specifically align to the required competencies for the

career.

An

example:

“My

education

has

focused

on

not only the learning the fundamentals, but also on

the

practical

application

of

the

information

learned

within those classes. For example, I played a lead role

in

a

class

project

where

we

gathered

and

analyzed

best

practice

data

from

this

industry.

Let

me

tell

you

more

about

the

results . . .”

Focus

on

behavioral

examples

supporting

the

key

competencies

for

the

career.

Then

ask

if

they

would

like

to

hear

more

examples. 5. Are you a team player?

Almost everyone says yes to this question. But it is not

just a yes/no question. You need to provide behavioral

examples to back up your answer.

A sample answer:

“Yes,

I’m

very

much

a

team

player.

In

fact,

I’ve

had

opportunities

in

my

work,

school

and

athletics

to

develop

my

skills

as

a

team

player.

For

example,

on

a

recent

project . . .”

Emphasize

teamwork

behavioral

examples and focus on your

openness to

diversity of

backgrounds. Talk

about

the strength of the team above

the

individual.

And

note

that

this

question

may

be

used as a lead in to questions around how you handle

conflict within a team, so be prepared. 6.

Have you ever

had

a

conflict

with

a

boss

or

professor?

How

was

it

resolved?

Note that if you say no, most interviewers

will keep drilling deeper to find a conflict. The key is

how

you

behaviorally

reacted

to

conflict

and

what

you

did

to

resolve

it.

For

example:

“Yes,

I

have

had

conflicts

in

the

past.

Never

major

ones,

but

there

have

been

disagreements

that

needed

to

be

resolved.

I've

found

that

when conflict occurs, it helps to fully

understand

the

other

person’s

perspective, so I take

time to listen to their point of view, then I seek to work

out a collaborative solution. For e

xample . . .”

Focus

your

answer on the behavioral process for resolving the

conflict

and

working

collaboratively.

7.

What

is

your

greatest

weakness?

Most

career

books

tell

you

to

select a strength and present it as a weakness.

Such as:

“I

work

too

much.

I

just

work

and

work

and

work.”

Wrong. First of

all, using a strength and presenting it

as a weakness is deceiving. Second, it misses the point

of the question. You should select a weakness that you

have been

actively

working to

overcome. For example:

“I

have

had

trouble

in

the

past

with

planning

and

priori

tization. However, I’m now taking steps to correct

this. I just started using a pocket planner . . .” then

show

them

your

planner

and

how

you

are

using

it.

Talk

about

a

true

weakness

and

show

what

you

are

doing to overcome it. 8.

If I were to ask your professors

to describe you, what would they say?

This

is

a

threat

of

reference

check

question.

Do

not

wait

for

the

interview

to

know

the

answer.

Ask

any

prior bosses

or

professors in advance. And if

they’re

willing to provide a positive reference, ask them for a

letter of recommendation. Then you can answer the

question like this:

“I believe she would say I'm a very

energetic person, that I’m results oriented

and one of

the

best

people

she

has

ever

worked

with.

Actually,

I

know she would say that, because those are her very

words. May I show you her letter of

recommendation?”

So

be

prepared

in

advance

with

your

letters

of

recommendation.

9.

What

qualities

do

you

feel

a

successful manager should have?

Focus on two words:

leadership

and

vision.

Here

is

a

sample

of

how

to

respond:

“The

key

quality

in

a

successful

manager

should be leadership--the ability to be the visionary for

the people who are working under them. The person

who can set the course and direction for subordinates.

The highest calling of a true leader is inspiring others to

reach the highest of their abilities. I'd like to tell you

about a person whom I consider

to be a t

rue leader . . .”

Then

give

an

example

of

someone

who

has

touched

your

life

and

how

their

impact

has

helped

in

your

personal

development.
