They ask questions about you.  They give you some scenarios and ask you how you would react if a certain situation would happen to you. And be prepared to answer these 2 hard questions: 1-Why our cie and not others?  2-What is your biggest weakness.  Good luck

Whether you actually want information, or just want not to look bewildered when they drop the question in your lap, you are right to have an answer planned. I think you should focus more on what impression your question will make on them, than on what information you might get from the question.\n\nWait till you see how the interview went. If they want you, ask some questions that relate to things *you* want to get out of the job. Do you feel you need training? Do you feel you need to switch roles every few months (particularly important to get promoted to manager)? Don't say you want these these, ask how they they handle stuff like that. Now, if it's a big company and you are talking to a professional HR person or recruiter, it won't make much difference because they won't have any role in your job. But if it's your soon to be manager, get 'em on the hook.\n\nIf you are sensing they aren't sure they want you, you have one more chance here to ask some questions that relate to things *they* want which might make them want you. Figure out in advance what your weaknesses are likely to be, and figure out questions that will show that you understand yourself and are working to improve. \n\nFinally, if it's pretty clear that they don't want you, definately ask why, and what you could have been or had that  they were looking for. It will help you put your best foot forward in your next interview. Plus, it really will make you look more conscientious (don't make it sound like you're ready to fib to get a job) and they might just remember you if another opening comes up.

There is really no way to know what an interviewer will ask you-different companies want to know different things.One great  thing you have going for you is your degree! The best thing to do in any interview is to be as honest as possible and use your common sense. Also be prepared to have more than one interview with any given company-I've heard that some companies will interview you three or more times before a decision to hire you is made!! Just be as calm as possible during the process. Hope this helps and the very best of luck to you!!

The best way to prepare for an interview is to tell stories and share experiences.  Review and know the things that you have put on your resume or job application.  That is the starting point.  Now during your interview expand on the information that you have already provided to your potential new employer.  Provide examples of how you may have handled a problem with an co-worker, or resolved a business process within your department.  Find examples that started out negative but you turned into a positive.  Be specific during the interview on how you accomplished the positive.  Examples would be a negative customer(external/internal) that you helped turn into a positive.  A good thing would be to write all this down and then review your notes before going in for the interview.  Be as detailed as possible during the interview.  And one good question to ask before you wrap things up is, "What kind of individual are you looking for to fill this position?"  This question is hardly ever asked.  What it allows is for you to hit on any points that you may have missed while you were interviewing.  You make a mental checklist while they tell you who they are looking for.  This little bit of preparation will help you ace that interview.

Be Concise\n\nInterviewees rambling on is one of the most common blunders Fogarty sees. "You really have to listen to the question, and answer the question, and answer it concisely," he says. "So many people can't get this basic thing down. You ask them a question, and they go off on a tangent. They might think you want to hear what they're saying, but they didn't answer your question."\n\nProvide Examples\n\nIt's one thing to say you can do something; it's another to give examples of things you have done. "Come with a toolbox of examples of the work you've done," advises Fogarty. "You should come and anticipate the questions a recruiter's going to ask based on the requirement of the role. Think of recent strong strategic examples of work you've done, then when the question is asked, answer with specifics, not in generalities. You should say, ‘Yes, I've done that before. Here's an example of a time I did that…,' and then come back and ask the recruiter, ‘Did that answer your question?'"\n\nBe Honest\n\nSomehow, candidates get the impression that it's best to try to dance around difficult questions. "If you don't have a skill, just state it. Don't try to cover it up by talking and giving examples that aren't relevant. You're much better off saying you don't have that skill but perhaps you do have some related skills, and you're happy to tell them about that if they like."\n\nKeep Your Guard Up\n\nAccording to Fogarty, you can split recruiters into two schools. There are those who are very straight-laced and serious, and candidates better take the process seriously as well when dealing with them.\n\n"Then you have recruiters like me," he says, chuckling. "I'm going to be that candidate's best friend when they call me. My technique is to put them at ease, because I want them to tell me everything, and a lot of candidates mess up in this area. They start to think, ‘Oh, this guy is cool. I can tell him anything.' And then they cross the line." And that can take a candidate out of contention. Remember: Always maintain your professionalism.\n\nAsk Great Questions\n\nFogarty says nothing impresses him more than a really good question that not only shows you've researched the company in general, but the specific job you're hoping to land as well. "That makes me go, ‘Wow, this person has really done their homework. They not only know the company, but they know the role.'"

Honest ones. We would like to know that you are GENUINELY interested in the opportunity, and that you did a little research about the position that you are interviewing for and the company in general. This question is typically a set up question for me, meaning that I am able to get an idea of which interview style is going to get me the most information abou the candidate I am talking to. \nThe perception is, that if you can't successfully answer this question, then you are really not that excited about the position you applied for, and are just looking for another "job".\n\nAnd don't worry... GOOD interviewers understand that there are many factors in an interview. Nervousness and other things may play a factor in your ability to articulate yourself and a good interviewer will pick up on this and try to get you comfortable enough to really talk about the skills you have. Interviewing someone that is too nervous to talk is really going to limit the amount of information received from the candidate.\n\nAnd one more tip... Don't be afraid to ask them the same question... "What are you looking to gain from the person that you ultimately decide to put in this position?" From there you can determine what traits you have that would help them to accomplish their goal.\n\nGood Luck!

Sometimes they ask you why do you want to work for that company and what do you expect from them or how much do you think you can grow there.  they basically want to know YOU aside from what is stated in your resume.

Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy. \n\nQuestion 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is.  IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions. \n\nStrength and weaknesses:  Those are always the tough questions.  Who wants to admit they are weak? \n\nThis give the interviewer an idea of personality. \n\nTake a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.
