Top 10 Job Interview Questions and Answers

This video provides a great way for you to prepare for your upcoming interview. Jeff and Mike discuss each of the top 10 interview questions and provide valuable tips to answering them perfectly. By brushing up on common interview questions and answers beforehand you not only prepare yourself for how to answer you'll eliminate a lot of the nerves interviewees commonly have to deal with.

Here's a look at the questions covered in the video. (Although be sure to watch the video to the end! You can watch our fancy animation skills and get a gift at the end ;-)

1. tell me about yourself (Be work specific and recount a brief success story from a past work experience that highlights a couple of your strengths. Try and pick strengths that ate in line with exactly is called for in that position)

2. why should we hire you? (Be specific and highlight a strength that is perfectly in line with what the company or organization is specifically looking for)

3. what is your greatest strength (Be specific and tell a brief work related example of you exhibiting that strength. Again pick an example and a strength that is based on your knowledge of what they're looking for)

4. what is your greatest weakness? (specific steps taken to handle them. Avoid mentioning any weakness that could affect the specific job opening)

5. Why do you want to work here? (Be specific and mention aspects of the company or organization that you admire and show how your strengths and abilities make you a perfect fit)

6. why did you leave your last job? (If it was because you left voluntarily then reference a specific characteristic that the company you are interviewing for has that you are attracted to. one that your previous employer didnt have. If you were let go, be honest and explain the situation and own it. Explain what you learned from the experience, because the interviewer knows you're human, you make mistakes, and just wants to see that you were able to do something about it)

7. what is your greatest accomplishment? (be specific and talk about a past work accomplishment. Make sure you pick an accomplishment that shows how valuable you will be in the position you are interviewing for)

8. Describe a difficult work situation and what you did to overcome it... (Again the key is to be specific. Bring up a past work situation that you handled well. Try and pick an example that shows you tackling a problem that could arise at the new company you're interviewing for. This shows your value)

9. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (Your answer should show that you are a person with direction and that you have goals. You should show that those goals include you advancing and thriving at the company or organization you're interviewing with. But don't over do it. If you are going for an entry-level job, don't say you plan to be CEO in 5 years. It will seem unrealistic and could take you out of the running...)

10. Do you have any questions for me? (This is your time to make an impression and show your knowledge and passion for the company or organization you are interviewing for.

I hate it when they ask where do you see yourself in 5 years because if we're being honest, in 5 years I wanna be far away from the job I'm applying to, drinking a margarita in a Caribbean island

This helped me so much! As well as that tailoring technique! My interviewers didn't even wait to call me back they just let me know I got it right at the end!

[bnjjj]

What I learned from this video; I need to be specific. Lol all jokes aside, this was very helpful. I now realize that the reason why I blew my last interview, was because I was not prepared for it and the questions the interviewers had asked. Now that I know what to expect with my upcoming interview, I am confident that I will ace it! Wish me luck guys! XD

[TheInterviewGuys]

Of course Christine! Thanks for spreading the word!

[gelpadz]
