You wouldn't take an important test without studying beforehand. Likewise, you should never go into an interview without advance preparation. Learn pertinent facts about the company, such as annual sales revenue, principal lines of business and technologies used. Visit the company's web site to review its annual report and recent press releases.
Below are some questions typically asked during an interview. By rehearsing your answers, you'll be more relaxed during the interview and appear more confident and professional. Just be careful not to sound over rehearsed. Your responses should come naturally.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Tell me about your background and accomplishments.
- What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
- How would you describe your most recent job performance?
- How do you stay current professionally?
- What outside activities are most significant to your personal development?
You should also prepare a list of questions of your own to ask during the interview. These will help the hiring manager to evaluate your professional needs and determine whether your working relationship will be mutually rewarding. It's also your chance to show you have done your homework. Here are some questions you might ask.
- What would I be expected to accomplish in this assignment?
- What is the current status of the project?
- What are the greatest challenges in this position?
- How do you think I fit the assignment?
