Your interviewer is encouraging you to talk about a project or piece of work that you found quite stressful. How did you deal with the pressure? Did you give up and walk away?

7. Where do you see yourself in five years as HR Officer?

Your interviewer might want to know how the job you are going for fits in with your long-term plans. It's okay if you haven't worked out the next 20 years in your head – very few people have. However, you should have a general idea about what your interests are, what kind of areas you would like to work in and even perhaps where you see yourself in the next few years. Tell the interviewer how the job and their organisation fits in with these ideas – perhaps they offer lots of training and development, which in time will help you progress.

8. Tell us what are some of the things that bother you?

This is a common question, but don't dwell on it. The interviewer is looking for a job related answer, more like “what bothers you about your job or the people you work with?” If you dig deep and think of what really bothers you, you'll find that it's other people and their ideas, right? But don't tell the interviewer that, you can be more clever than that.

“It bothers me the most when other people I work with don't meet their deadlines or deliver what they promise.”

9. Tell me an example of when you've had to give feedback to someone?
