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!

The most difficult thing when hiring is to know who's best for the job. In my experience, the best people are those who have the best attitude and not only the best skills. Having said this, I would suggest you send an email to follow up and say that you liked very much the job and what you liked very much what you learned about the company and the position in the phone interview. Mention that you hope you were able to convey why you believe your experience and carreer goals are 100% in line with what you understand they are looking for. You can also add that you would like the chance to further discuss this opportunity in an interview at their earliest convenience.\nafter that...patience...\ngood luck!

Don't feel bad, interviews are scary. The key is to practice, practice, practice.  Go to your local workforce office and sign up for a job readiness class. Ask for assistance in filling out applications, doing a resume and interviewing. Here are a couple of links that might help. Keep in mind that the process can also be very unsettling for the person interviewing you. Be confident, prepared and friendly. Good luck.

An example of the best way to handle this question: "I tend to be a bit disorganized, so I compensate by keeping a priority list of everything I need to do and don't allow myself to ignore it." Any time you admit to a weakness, make sure you explain how you've overcome or compensated for it. ( I was a Personnel Manager for two very large corporations and conducted literally thousands of interviews. )

It all depends on what subjects you're good at or not good at, which varies from student to student. For me, anything that had to do with science or math was the hardest.

There are literally hundreds of sites with interview questions and many also have suggested answers.  Most of them will ask you to pay a fee to access all the questions and materials, but persistent searching will bring you to quite a few free sites.  It is more helpful if you do a search for questions related to the specific job you are interviewing for. \n\nYou should also prepare a few good questions to ask, because most likely they will give you an opportunity to ask questions.  I've hired a number of people more because of the questions they asked than because of the answers they gave.\n\nHere are a few links.  Good luck with the interview.

Type up a list of common questions asked during interviews and start to think of answers.  Practice the answers, but try not to sound scripted.  There's several sites that list common questions.  Type in "interview questions" in Google to find them.  The most important thing to do is have questions ready to ask THEM.  If an interviewer asks if you have any questions and you say "no", you're pretty much off their list.  Type up some questions if you don't think you can remember any... be sure to ask questions about the job and/or organization, not about the interviewer or non relevant topics.  Also do not ask about salary unless you're offered the job. Finally, get a good night's sleep, dress to impress, take out any piercings, and pop a mint and eat it before meeting the interviewer.  Good luck!\n\nPS--bring copies of your resume and references also.

For me, I pray for Godly wisdom that I may answer the questions to the best of my abilities.  Also, be prepared to answer questions that you may not necessarily think are important, but have an underlying value to the interviewer.\n\nMost importantly, be yourself, be professionally dressed (regardless of company), and be confident in your answers.\n\nI wouldn't drink anything with caffeine and listen to classical music on the way to the interview.  It will help keep your nerves calmed.

I'd suggest spelling correctly so that when you take notes about your interviewee, you can read it. No offense. =)\n\nWell, interviews should be planned ahead. Keep a list of at least 15 questions handy. If you use a recorder, ask for permission first. Also, get the person to sign off after you interview, so that you can prove they said everything (if anything legally is brought up, you have evidence). \n\nMake the interviewee comfortable... you can start by asking them how they are or if they want coffee. Start with easy questions and then move on to harder ones. Also, it's better to have an actual conversation so that's it's not all one sided. Really get involved and act like you care. Make sure to write down their emotions and apperence.

I've conducted about 500 interviews on candidates and what we are looking for is\n1) Integrity\n2) Honesty\n3) Can do attitude\n4) A person that is effective\n5) the person who is likely to be the most successful in a position.\n\nThat being said, in the case of asking what is your weakness, tell the interviewer something that is a weakness of yours, but follow up by stating what you are doing to overcome that weakness.\n\nFor instance, one of the people mentioned procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, share what you are doing to ensure you will get things done on time.\n\nPeople who answer this question without admitting to any type of weakness are quickly bypassed by me because they have just shot their credibility with me. If they cannot admit they have any type of a weakness, this is a signal to me that this person will never admit when they make a mistake and will avoid the truth. They also may have difficulty working in a team setting because they sound like they have an ego problem.\n\nSo your best bet is to answer this honestly.\n\nLying may get you the job, but if you lie on the interview and the find out, they can terminate you, or at the least, you have damaged your credibility.
