1. Tell me why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?
This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. It's not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be as brief as possible about it. If you were fired, you'll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.
2. Explain me where else have you applied?
This is a good way to hint that you're in demand, without sounding like you're whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companies but don't go into detail. The fact that you're seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.
3. Are you good at working in a team as Painter Artist?
Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you'll always answer YES to this one. It's the only answer. How can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it's a great chance to explain that you're a natural leader.
4. Please explain about any issues you've had with a previous boss?
Arrgh! If you fall for this one you shouldn't be hired anyway. The interviewer is testing you to see if you'll speak badly about your previous supervisor. Simply answer this question with extreme tact, diplomacy and if necessary, a big fat loss of memory. In short, you've never had any issues.
5. What media and methodologies did you use in this piece?
The background was created using photographic images on card. I did a collage, scanned it, and added digital media as the overlay.
The question is looking for production techniques as a skills assessment. The answer is purely functional, describes media and methodologies in functional terms, and shows a clear process.
6. Why do you think should we take you for this job as Painter Artist?
Don't panic if you are asked this question. Make sure that you have understood the job profile well.......
7. You have stayed for a long time with your last company-Why?
Staying with the same company for too long may be considered as the candidate being un-ambitious.......
8. Has your career developed as you had liked?
The agenda behind this question is to understand if there had been times of dip in your career......
9. What major problems did you face in your last role?
It is safer to mention a problem which was caused by an external party rather than the problems within internal parties.......
10. What was your biggest mistake as Painter Artist?
There's nothing wrong in admitting a mistake. A human being is bound to commit mistakes......
11. Why do you want to leave your present job or why did you leave your last job?
The reasons for switching the job could be numerous. The best answer to offer for this question is to say, “for better prospects”.......
12. If your last boss was present here, what do you think he would tell us about you?
This is again a question which can be answered in two ways.......
13. Please explain where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
By asking this question, the interviewer wants to see, how ambitious the candidate is.......
14. Can you show us your logo designs, and explain how they were made?
(Shows copies of logos) I start with the logo design components, and work to scale ratios for each piece to create and construct the final design.
The question refers to design methods. The answer is a simple but clear description of the process.
15. Are you willing to put the interests of Global Guideline Company ahead of your own?
Again, another nasty question. If you say yes, you're a corporate whore who doesn't care about family. If you say no, you're disloyal to the company. I'm afraid that you'll probably have to say yes to this one though, because you're trying to be the perfect employee at this point, and perfect employees don't cut out early for Jimmy's baseball game.
16. What's your biggest weakness as Painter Artist?
If you're completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don't have one, you're obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like "I'm perhaps too committed to my work and don't spend enough time with my family." Oh, there's a fireable offense. I've even heard "I think I'm too good at my job, it can often make people jealous." Please, let's keep our feet on the ground. If you're asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you're working hard to improve. Example: "I've been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so I've been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress."
17. Please explain what you know about this company?
Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it's being the VP of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you're going to work for. Has this company been in the news lately? Who are the people in the company you should know about? Do the background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested in the company and the job.
18. Why do you want to work at Global Guideline Company?
This should be directly related to the last question. Any research you've done on the company should have led you to the conclusion that you'd want to work there. After all, you're at the interview, right? Put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.
19. What's your greatest strength as Painter Artist?
This is your chance to shine. You're being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don't hold back and stay do stay positive. You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your greatest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.
20. Explain me would you rather work for money or job satisfaction?
It's not a very fair question is it? We'd all love to get paid a Trump-like salary doing a job we love but that's rare indeed. It's fine to say money is important, but remember that NOTHING is more important to you than the job. Otherwise, you're just someone looking for a bigger paycheck.
21. What is your greatest achievement as Painter Artist?
The underlying agenda is to know what personal qualities were required to achieve it. Don't go back too far to answer......
22. Tell me how do you feel about doing repetitive work?
You can say that I understand that every job has an element of repetitive work......
23. Why haven't you got a job yet as Painter Artist?
This question will usually arise if it has been sometime since you finished your studies......
24. Would you like to work in a team or on your own?
The agenda behind this question is to understand if you are a team player or a solo performer.......
25. Tell me are you ambitious?
You can say that I am very ambitious in the way that I don't like to get a feeling of stagnancy.......
