Job interviews
Job interviews can be a nerve-racking experience, especially when you don’t feel
prepared for them. And with the variety of interview questions that can be asked
these days, it’s hard to know what type of questions you should prepare for. Here
are three types of interview questions that you should practise answering before that
important job interview.
These questions are for the interviewer to get to know you and to see if you’re
the best person for the job. Don’t simply list things like your hobbies, your
strengths or your work experience. Instead, give examples and use them to show
your personality and the characteristics you have that make you perfect for the job.
Your interviewer may want to ask questions about certain areas of your CV, so use
this opportunity to link your experience to the job you’re applying for.
Avoid: Giving a detailed life history or telling long stories that are irrelevant to
the job or to the company.
2. Competency questions
Here, the candidate is asked questions about situations they have faced in the past
that can demonstrate a particular skill they have. These could include skills like
critical thinking, influencing, problem solving or flexibility. Interviewers often want
to hear about challenges you’ve had, not just about times when everything went
smoothly, so be ready with examples such as how you resolved conflict in your
team or dealt with someone who was not working well. This will demonstrate that
you can handle difficult situations.
When preparing for the job interview, read the job description carefully for the
required skills and abilities and try to recall situations where you had to use these
skills. Then use the STAR technique when talking about these examples:
• Situation – Give details about the context of your example and what you were
trying to do.
• Task – Describe your responsibilities and the challenges you faced.
• Action – Describe what steps you took to deal with the situation.
• Result – Talk about the end result and how you contributed to this outcome.
3. Hypothetical questions
What would you do if you had a different opinion from your boss about how to
do something?
How would you deal with a large volume of work with several staff members off
work?
What would you do if you had to introduce a new policy that you knew was going
to be unpopular in your team?
Avoid: Going off-topic, changing the subject and not answering the original
question.
Whatever type of questions they ask, interviewers want to find the right person
and are keen to give you the opportunity to demonstrate what you can do. With
some preparation, you can show them that you’re the perfect fit for the job.
