【正文】 ll you miss about your present job?People is the best interview answer here. Say anything else and you39。re suggesting the job you39。re applying for won39。t give you everything you had and more, and might even leave you wanting!As you think about answers to interview questions, always have in mind the need to create a positive impression.Well I39。m confident that the job you39。re offering will give me everything I have now and more so I don39。t think I39。ll miss anything about the job itself. But I39。ll miss some of the people of course...　 * What can you tell me about XYZ Company? If you need to, start by saying Is it ok if I refer to my notes?. When you get the nod, off you go. A good interview answer should include short factual statements covering such things as the Company39。s history, its products, staff numbers, turnover and future business objectives. Something like this is fine:I believe the Company began in 1967, with just one outlet, but now has 25. From what I39。ve read, you sell A, B and C products across Europe and the States and have a turnover in excess of $5 million. You employ 125 staff. I beleive you hope to enter the Asian market by 2010. I39。ve done some research and can tell you more if you like.You will likely hear No, that39。s fine. Thank you.　Your interviewers will be impressed that you prepared and made notes and you39。re off to a good start. * What do you think XYZ Company can offer you? There are two bits to this interview question, the role and the Company. Mention both. You might say: I39。m told the Company has a firm mitment to individual training and development. This is great news for me because I39。m keen to learn and advance in the Company. The role itself appears challenging and rewarding which I39。ll find very motivating. * If you39。re successful, what do you think you39。ll be doing daytoday?　 You might start by saying I understand that I39。ll be.... Then you could talk about the main role, any other activities and any targets you expect to be given.What are your strengths/weaknesses?IMPORTANT this mon job interview question can be asked in many different ways, such as What qualities do you admire in others that you would like to develop in yourself?Strengths should be easy enough to think about (keep the position in mind).　Talking about weaknesses can be harder but good interview answers are still possible. Many people choose to mention something which they39。ve recognized as being a weakness but have overe. I39。d like to be more organized, like one of my colleagues. She doesn39。t have to try. But because I don39。t find it as easy as her, I use todo lists and a diary to help me successfully manage my work.On a final note, it39。s much safer to highlight your lack of experience or knowledge as a weakness than a fault in your personality. Employers can always give you experience but few want to help you overe shortings in your personality! So avoid telling interviewers that you get bored or too involved or frustrated!Why did you think you are suited to this job?What they are really asking is You know what we are looking for so can you tell us what you have done or　 what you have, that is relevant.Why should we give the job to you above other applicants?This is often our closing question. We want to know, in a nutshell, why you are the best candidate for the job. This is a chance to list your best attributes as they relate to the vacancy. Don39。t be cocky, but don39。t be shy.\* How well do you work under pressure?“I know that all jobs involve some sort of pressure at some time. I can work as well under pressure as I do at any other time but when I am busy, I prioritize activities so that my workload is manageable.”　If the interviewers focus on other pressure, such as pressure to meet targets, dealing with difficult customers etc, give an appropriate reply, mentioning past situations where you have coped under such pressure.* What sort of people do you find it difficult to work with?“I am an easy going person who seems to get on with everyone. If I have to pick a type of person that bothers me, it39。s the one who doesn39。t pull their weight or isn39。t worried about the standard of their work because it reflects badly on the rest of the team.”* Sell me this pen! In interviews for sales job, you may hear this, believe us! In fact, one of us had a nonsales interview and was asked this, unexpectedly. The object you are asked to sell could in fact be anything. Some interviewers like to see whether you focus on the benefits of the object or its features. The features of the pen might be that it39。s blue, with a roller ball and plastic coating. The benefits might be that it39。s reliable, easy to hold and le　ak proof.* What key skills do you think you need to be successful in this role?You got this far because your job application form or resume or CV matched the interviewers39。 criteria as specified in the job advert. Just expand on this in your job interview answers. List the skills you think are required, giving a little explanation as to why each is needed.You might then be asked to give examples where you39。ve used one or more of these skills. These are behavioural interview questions.　* Where do you see yourself in five years time? This can be a difficult job interview question to answer, especially if you39。ve not thought beyond getting this job! When you answer, you want to sound ambitious enough to be motivated to do a good job, but not too ambitious in case your interviewers think you39。re only using this job as a stepping stone to something better.I can be successful in this job and taken on additional responsibilities and be considered suitable for promotion.　* How does this job fit into your career plans?1
