Job Openings – Q & A About Finding Job Openings
Posted by: Silas Reed / Category: Career Resource Center, Job Openings
We have sleepless nights thinking what questions the interviewer will ask on the D day and what will we say in return. There is a specific cause behind every question asked in an interview. Here we will talk about some of the dreaded questions that might be hurled to you inside the interview room. You will also find one possible way to answer the question. Learn the cause behind asking the question. Here we go!
1. Q: How long have you spent searching for a job? (Cause: do you have any shortcoming which other employers have discovered!)
A: After I quit my last job, I took time off to be with myself and discover things related to my career. I didn’t think about these things earlier, simply went ahead with a job. I wanted to find out my long term goals, and have adopted a selective approach towards jobs. I just started searching for jobs in the last couple of weeks. I am interested in your company and the position that I have applied for.
2. Q: How have you prepared yourself to face this interview? (Cause: are you really interested in the job or just have come without much eagerness.)
A: When I came across this advertisement on the internet, it caught my attention. I immediately logged on to the website of the company to find out more information about it. I found out about the company, its founders, the executives etc. when I got the appointment, I spoke to my friends (who are from the industry) about it.
3. Q: How much salary are you expecting? (Cause: can we afford whatever you are going to charge us? Can you demand less than what we expect).
A: I need to know more about the job, the responsibilities that come with it, before I can assess a salary. Can I know how much range is budgeted for this position?
4. Q: How do you stay updated on the progresses, news, about the industries in which you have worked? (Cause: once you are through, do you carry on with the habit of learning?)
A: I try and stay updated with almost all the information that I can gather. I read up the business sections of newspapers and magazines. I am a part of some of the professional organizations. I make friends with people who work in the industry. I also attend as many seminars as I can. This is how I keep myself updated with all the news related to the job market.
5. Q: Which type of people do you find uncomfortable working with?
A: I have been comfortable with most people I have worked with in the past (with a few exceptions). I came across people from varied backgrounds, yet had no problems dealing with them. However, I was upset with the dishonesty that some people had shown about work. I had told them that politely face-to-face, when I got the chance to communicate.
