Top Online Jobs Interview Questions & Answers:

1. Tell me about yourself?

You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.

2. What is legitimacy in online jobs?

Legitimacy is the popular acceptance of an authority, usually a governing law or a regime. Whereas "authority" denotes a specific position in an established government, the term "legitimacy" denotes a system of government.

3. Why should you not get much personal?

Interesting jobs that require an employer to get to know you on a more personal basis, such as becoming a personal assistant or modeling for a local brand.
Sometimes an employer has a legitimate need to see a photo or ask questions about your personal interests.
Just be extremely cautious. When it starts sounding more like a cheesy, over-the-top dating profile instead of a job listing, then it is highly recommended that you question the legitimacy of the personal assistant position that you are applying for.

4. Why should you check the dates to determine online job legitimacy?

If a decent-paying job is posted, there will be numerous, immediate responses, which means listings are often taken down within a week or two of being posted. If a business does not find the perfect candidate right away and leaves the listing up for a long time, there may be a reason why no one has landed the position.

5. How will you look for signs of unprofessionalism?

Watch out for signs of unprofessionalism, including the following red flags: asking to meet at night over drinks, dodging your questions about the company and their mission, and texting you pleasantries completely unrelated to your line of work (even before you start working).
Of course, a lot depends on the type of work you will be doing, but if you feel like your interaction is inappropriate to the setting and to what your work relationship calls for, then it probably is.

6. Why did you leave your last online job?

Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

7. What experience do you have in this field of working online?

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

8. Are you applying for other online jobs?

Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.

9. Do you think you are successful in working online?

You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

10. What do you know about this organization as an online job worker?

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?
