1. What are The Opening Questions and how to answer them?


The Opening Questions could be:

• Asked question : What are you currently doing?


• Variants : Tell us a bit about yourself. Or, I see you are currently working as a . . .
What does that involve exactly? Or, What do you do in a typical day?
• Unasked question: Does anything you currently do have anything at all to do with
what we want?
The way to answer the qouestion is: Before the interview, divide a piece of paper
in two. On one side, make a list of the skills or tasks that the potential employer wants.
On the other side list what you currently do. Pick the three or four areas that are the best
match and ignore the others. In answering the questing, describe the areas much that match
well, using similar words to the language the employer has used to describe the job,
remembering to keep to the two minute limit
2. What are The Why You Want a Job Questions, and how to answer them?
The Why You Want a Job Questions could be:

• Asked question : What attracts you to this job?


• Variants : Why do you want this job? Why would someone like you want to move
here?
• Unasked questions : Are you really serious about this? If we offered it to you would
you take it? Would you stay - or are you a flitter? Are you applying because you’re
desperate for any old job
The way to answer the question:
Ideally your answer has four parts
1) Focused, research-based answers about the attractions for you of the organization, why
you admire it, demonstrating your grasp of the essentials that the job needs. The purpose
of this part of the answer is to show that you have researched the job and organization
properly and that your decision to bid for it is based on facts not fantasy. It is also
intended to flatter the employer by showing how much interest you have taken.
2) A summary statement about how you believe your skills and experience are a good fit
and how keen you are to bring them to the job. The purpose of this is to start the process
of demonstrating how well your skills match what the employer is looking for.
3) A brief mention of your personal values and why you believe in the mission and purpose
of the organization and how how every previous job you have had has been about these
values. This is because tru employee commitment happens when people believe that
their work has meaning beyond just ‘doing a job’ -that it does some good for society at
large or benefits people in other ways and most employers know this to be true.
4) A final brief conclusion about how it fits your personal circumstances.

3. What are The Challenges of the Jon Questions, and how to answer them?
The Challenges of the Jon Questions could be:

• Asked question : What do you see as the main challenges in this job?
• Unasked question : How realistic are you? How much research have you done?
The way to answer the question are:
Concentrate on what might be achieved in future rather than dwelling too heavily
on the weaknesses of the present. Choose some kind of simple framework for the reply: for
instance, two major external challenges (political change perhaps, or competitor activity),
two internal ones (creating a new team, getting better relationships with a rival department).
Alternatively choose short-, medium- and longer-term challenges, add a few sentences
setting out how you would start the process of dealing with them, making clear that you
know it would look different once you were in the job.

4. What are The Competency Questions, and how to answer them?


The wat yo answer are:
Competency questions you may be asked at interview include:

• How do you maintain good working relationships with your colleagues?


• Tell me about a big decision you've made recently. How did you go about it?
• What has been your biggest achievement to date?
• Describe a project where you had to use different leadership styles to reach your goal.
• Tell me about a time when your communication skills improved a situation.
• How do you cope in adversity?
• Give me an example of a challenge you faced in the workplace and tell me how you
overcame it.
• Tell me about a time when you showed integrity and professionalism.
• How do you influence people in a situation with conflicting agendas?

The way to answer is using the STAR (situation, task, action and result) method
to structure your answers is a useful way to communicate important points clearly and
concisely. For every answer you give identify the:
• Situation/task - describe the task that needed to be completed or the situation you
were confronted with. For example, 'I led a group of colleagues in a team presentation
to potential clients'.
• Action - Explain what you did and how and why you did it. For example, 'We
presented to around 20 big industry players in the hope of winning their business. I
delegated sections of the presentation to each team member and we discussed our
ideas in a series of meetings. After extensive research and practise sessions our group
presentation went off without a hitch'.
• Result - Describe the outcome of your actions. For example, 'As a result of this hard
work and team effort we won the business of 15 clients'.

5. What are The Personal Quality Questions, and how to answer them?
The question may be put like this:
• What would an ideal day be for you?
• What would your day from hell be?
• What kind of person would count as your ideal boss?
• What kind of person would be your nightmare boss? These unasked questions are:
• Are you flaky?
• How needy are you?
• Do you crumble under pressure?
The best answer is to use a story, as described earlier, introducing it by giving a
brief answer to the question and then signaling your intention to tell a story around it. An
ideal day for me is one where I go home at the end of it feeling that I’ve progressed all my
main projects. So, if I can give you an example, Wednesday last week was exactly such as
day when I . . .

6. What are The ‘What Questions Do You Have For Us?’ Questions, and how to answer
them?
• Questions about priorities in the job : What is the most important target for the
successful candidate to hit in their first six months?
• Questions about how much autonomy you would have: How much freedom would the
successful candidate have to appoint their own team? Where would the boundaries be
between this role and yours?
• Questions about the selection process: What’s the next step in the selection process?
How soon will you be letting us know about your decision? And how?
The best way to answer: use those final moments to reinforce your answer to the why you
want the job question, offering the interviewers a capsule version of your skills and your
strong wish to do the job.
7. What are The Strength and Weaknesses Questions, and how to answer them?
• Common questions : What would your biggest fans say about you? What would your
sternest critics say? What are you most proud of in the last year? What’s the most
important thing you’ve learnt? What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in the last year?
• Unasked question : How self-aware are you?
The way to answer: Avoid the mistake of appearing to think you are flawless,
answering for instance as one candidate did by saying coyly, ‘That’s for you to find out’.
8. What are The Personal Circumstances Questions, and how to answer them?
The asked question might be:
• This job is based in Southampton and I see from your CV that you live in Yorkshire. Does
that present any difficulty for you? • This job involves at least 80 days a year out of the UK.
How does that seem? • We sometimes need to do long days here with an 8 am start . . . • Anyone
doing this job needs to be capable of walking about five miles a day. Are you up to that? •
We’re looking for someone to give us unbroken service for three years. How does that play
with you?
The unasked questions are: • do you have childcare problems? • Will you partner refuse to
move? • Can you cope with the mental and physical stresses of this job? • Are you likely to get
pregnant? • Are you gay?
The way to answer or the best tactic is to anticipate the question. You should expect to be asked
about anything you have put on your CV or application form. If in fact there is something about
the job that means that your personal circumstances would prevent you doing it on the terms
described then you should not be applying.

Understanding the Details:
