Just saw a post by Rob<\/a> on a Welsh View that points to a post\u00a0by Bhuvana<\/a> which contains a list of\u00a050 common interview questions and explains\u00a0in short\u00a0how to answer each of\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

It’s a good read and well worth checking out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Tell me about yourself:<\/strong>
\nThe most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short
\nstatement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound
\nrehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise.
\nTalk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to
\nthe position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest
\nback and work up to the present.<\/p>\n

2. Why did you leave your last job?
\n<\/strong>Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major
\nproblem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers
\nor the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep
\nsmiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
\nopportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
\nreasons.<\/p>\n

49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.<\/strong>
\nTalk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.<\/p>\n

50. Do you have any questions for me?
\n<\/strong>Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are
\nexamples.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
