1. What are the tips to help be more effective?
☛ Be Prepared
☛ Plan, Relax, and think Positively
☛ Be confident: Think of the interview as a conversation
☛ Arrive early: Allow time to gather your thoughts and center yourself.
2. Tell me how do you respond to change in the workplace?
I think change is natural, and good. I find it fascinating, with all the new ideas and technology. Really, it's an adventure, and I try to keep up with everything, as much as I can.
3. Tell me who is your role model, and why?
The question can reveal how introspective the candidate is about their own personal and professional development, which is a quality I have found to be highly correlated with success and ambition.
Plus it can show what attributes and behaviors the candidate aspires to.
4. Tell me what would you most like to learn here that would help you in the future?
It is revealing for employers to figure out where you may they think they need help.
A favorite movie can indicate a lot about a candidate's personality. The type of movie does not always matter; the question simply helps employers learn more about the person and not their skills. It can often lead to a fun, engaging conversation.
6. Tell me what book do you think everyone should read?
If you cannot think of a single book to recommend to others, it is a warning sign. Curiosity is a wonderful indicator of intellect and, oddly enough, modesty, because curious people are willing to admit they do not know everything and are then willing to work to learn what they do not know.
7. Tell me what books have you read lately?
This is truly a question of a personal nature.
It may seem unrelated to the job, but the good news is you can make it relate to the job. When conducting your job search, it is important to keep up with your industry. What publications should you be reading as a career-driven person of your industry? Are there manuals, magazines, books, online sites, and blogs? If you're prepared, you have the perfect opportunity to show you've been keeping your skills and industry-knowledge up-to-date. This is also a great way to save yourself if you aren't a pleasure reader. If you do enjoy reading, you should discuss these books, as long as they seem appropriate. Discussing titles that show your appreciation of literature (even popular fiction) or your desire to learn (non-fiction) are fine.
8. What was the result? Tell me about a time you tried an innovative approach?
You certainly don't want to be sitting there with your eyes to the ceiling and your mouth hanging open as you dig through your brain for an old experience to reference. You also don't want to say, "I can't think of any. The best thing you can do with these types of questions is to prepare for the interview by reviewing your work history. Go through your resume and letters of recommendations and any employment history and old communications you have.
Write down particularly interesting projects you worked on and think about positive experiences you can allude to.
9. Are you good with customers?
I build great relationships with customers; they always ask for me.
