General Questions

Tell me about you!
Keep your answer to one or two minutes; don't ramble. Use your resume summary as a base to start.

What do you know about our company?

Do your homework before the interview! Spend some time researching the company. Find out as much as you can, including products, size, income, reputation, image, management talent, people, skills, history and philosophy. Project an informed interest; let the interviewer tell you about the company.

Why do you want to work for us?

Don't talk about what you want; first, talk about their needs: You would like to be part of a specific company project; you would like to solve a company problem; you can make a definite contribution to specific company goals.

What would you do for us? What can you do for us that someone else can't?

Relate past experiences that show you've had success in solving previous employer problem(s) that may be similar to those of the prospective employer.

Not long at all -- you expect only a brief period of adjustment to the learning curve.

As long as we both feel I'm contributing, achieving, growing, etc.



Job Search Questions


Why haven't you found a new position before now?

Finding a job is easy; finding the right job is more difficult. (You are being "selective.")

Had you thought of leaving your present position before? If yes, what do you think held you there?

Challenge, but it's gone now.

Be as positive as you can.

Keep your answer related to this company's field.


Salary Questions


How much are you looking for?

Answer with a question, i.e., "What is the salary range for similar jobs in your company?" If they don't answer, then give a range of what you understand you are worth in the marketplace.

What do you know about our company?

Do your homework before the interview! Spend some time researching the company. Find out as much as you can, including products, size, income, reputation, image, management talent, people, skills, history and philosophy. Project an informed interest; let the interviewer tell you about the company.

How much do you expect, if we offer this position to you?

Be careful; the market value of the job may be the key answer, e.g., "My understanding is that a job like the one you're describing may be in the range of $______."

What kind of salary are you worth?
Have a specific figure in mind ... don't be hesitant.


Experience and Management Questions

You may be overqualified for the position we have to offer.

Strong companies need strong people. A growing, energetic company is rarely unable to use its people talents. Emphasize your interest in a long-term association, pointing out that the employer will get a faster return on investment because you have more experience than required.

What is your management style?

(If you've never thought about this, it's high time you did.) "Open-door management" is best ... And you get the job done on time or inform your management.

Skills, initiative, adaptability.

Did you ever fire anyone? If so, what were the reasons and how did you handle it?

You have had experience with this and it worked out well.

What do you see as the most difficult task in being a manager?

Getting things planned and done on time within the budget.

What do your subordinates think of you?

Be honest and positive ... they can check your responses easily.

What is your biggest weakness as a manager?

Be honest and end on a positive note, e.g. "I don't enjoy reprimanding people, so I try to begin with something positive first."
