Now that you have an idea of what an interview is and what to expect from the process, you have to prepare yourself as much as possible both on a mental as well as on a psychological level. Let's start with the mental preparation, you have to go through the website and read everything about the company, its products and services, its value sheet systems and what it is expected from the employees what it is expected from the particular position. Expect from the interview and a question like what do you know about our company? or Why did you apply for a job in our company? You need to be able to reply to these questions. For example, if the company manufactures products that you are using in your fans, then you may say something like I love your products and I would like to be a part of it or I really like how you treat your customers and your focus at quality resonates with me or you care about your local community.
And it matters a lot for me do research about the company Go through websites like Glassdoor and find out reviews from ex and existing employees about the company show that you know its advantages and disadvantages. Utilize social media find more information, visit the company's social media profiles and see what is important for them. Is it customer satisfaction? Is it product quality? Is it something else? See if any of these resonates with you?
You will probably be asked questions related to the company's value chain support and both for the company and for you. These values to coincide clearly your survey inside out and be prepared to answer any questions about dates, names of past employers duties, reasons for leaving, why are your main hobbies, your volunteer activities, your career goals, etc. Each interviewer is a unique person and represents a unique company. So the interview questions vary a lot. I'm giving you some common questions. The reasoning behind these questions.
Any indicative replies show that you can use it as a basis for Your own replies, tell me about yourself. The recruiter would like to check your presentation skills and how you can briefly talk about a particular issue and communicate your thoughts. You may give two or three sentences about your education and your achievements and telling them that you will gladly reply to more detailed questions. For example, I have studied computer science at x University, and I'm very interested in algorithms, data mining and Internet of Things. I read a lot about these topics in my free time and they would like to work on bass in a professional setting, or I have studied social science at university eggs and they have four years experience in customer service. What were your major projects at university, they want to find out your areas of expertise or your interests, you may mention the data about your subject, the tools you used and if it was a team project or not, for example, in microeconomics I did a business plan for a simulation of a startup company.
What were you Your major achievements in university we want to know what you have achieved and what is your potential in the future, say projects that you have done. I've watched you have won competitions that you have participated even if you think it isn't space yelich matters a lot. For example, I participated in a hack attack on the example I created a mobile application for playing test. What was your thesis about? You have to give the title and two sentences without terminology. For example, my thesis is in behavior analysis of costumers.
Why would you like to work for our company, they want to know how many things you know about the company and how do you see yourself inside this company you need to find one or two characteristics of the company which we value and you have to mention these for example your company creates products which help other people's lives and this is a nature Give me a second example is your company valued customers a lot and I like helping a tip here is don't say that I would like to work in this company because it's near my house, even if it's so it sounds like that you only care about yourself. So it's not very professional. What are your future career goals, they won't know how ambitious and driven you are. It's a very patient equation. But you can say something like, I want to be better.
Or I want to be a senior engineer, or I want to be a manager. The tip here is that the corporate recruiter doesn't want to listen to something like I want to get married and have kids. It doesn't resonate with a corporate career. What are your strong points? This is a typical HR question for self awareness, you can mention something true and relevant to the position if the position requires detailed orientation. And you can see that from the job posting.
You can say, if it's true, of course, I'm detail oriented, as multipe here is don't say, I don't know you have to answer this question. What are your weak points? That's another typical question. You mentioned some Like active and add the way you are using to work around this characteristic. For example, I used to run late in appointments, but they put reminders in my mobile phone and they have improved it. Why did you do in your previous job?
You can give us more description of your duties. Say for example, I was responsible for answering calls from clients who provide support and resolve any issues within specific time. Why did you succeed in your previous job? They want to know your past achievements because these are a prediction for your future achievements. You mentioned non facts. For example, I have created 10,000 lines of code or I participated in a team project with increased customer satisfaction by 10%.
Why did you leave from your previous job? We want to know if you created any problem and your previous employer fired you or in other words, they want to know how reliable you are. You need to answer this question in a very diplomatic way. You never accuse the previous company or the Manager, even if you have the right to do so, because the interviewer presumes that you will do the same for the new company, if you left because you had an argument with your manager, you can say and left because she wanted to work in a company which shares the same priorities and values with me. If you left because you had another financial offer, you can say I left because I had a better offer which gave me the opportunity to fall further. Why should we hire you?
They want to know your self awareness. What do you think about yourself compared to others? You mentioned your positive personal characteristics to us which are related to the job posting. For example, if the job is software developer, you can say I'm hardcore thing and they code well. Another example if the job is a waiter in a local restaurant, you can say care about customers. I remember the old days I make sure that everything is according to the author, Nathan Wellman it what is important for you as an employee.
They want to know Know what you expect from a work environment you say what you consider important for example, work life balance training, career advancement, good working climate, etc. What motivates you? They want to know what keeps you at your best in the workplace. It's up to you how to reply to this question. You may mention I would like to get reported for my hardcore work, or I would like to have a good relationship, my colleagues and my manager, or I would like to learn new things all the time. What do you know about our company?

I believe that they are the number one success factor for every company, and it's critical to keep them happy. I have always got good customer reviews and they honor customers, what are your salary expectations?
They want to know what they expect compared to the data they have in mind. This question can be a no go if you require a salary well above the budget they have. If you're just starting, you just need a job. So you shouldn't have any particular expectations. You say I'm open to your proposal. I'm interested in joining this company more than anything else.
If you have experience then you can mention yourself. In salary and the increase you would like to have, you can also mention that you're flexible on that.
