How should you answer the question of "what is your dream job?" in a job interview.?
827873
Generally, I just say that my dream job is one that challenges me to work to my full potential, has opportunity for move-up and allows me to creatively & efficiently perform any task that I set out to do, as this would create a sense of a job well done and the ability to have pride in myself.\n\nCompanies eat that nonsense up... and that's exactly what they want to hear.

The previous answer is hilarious!\n\nI think you should remember the 'obvious' things:\n\n1.  Why I'm writing to you (because I want to considered for Job X)\n2.  That I am enclosing my resume.\n3.  That I am qualified/experienced for the job becasue, as you will see from my resume, I am/have ...\n4.  List the two most important/relevant items of experience I have had\n5.  List two of the most important skills/attributes I have for a job of this kind\n6.  Say how I will be glad to present myself for interview\n7.  Er, that's it ...

Be as brief as possible, but just summarise exactly what you want from your next job. What you want to achieve in terms of skills & career progression.\n\nFor example, you may say:\n\n"My current objective is to gain a challenging role in an environment which allows me to utilise my current skills whilst developing others."\n\nGood Luck.

There are no best words to use but most of the questions can be anticipated. Think of how you would want to answer them beforehand so you say something interesting. For example, tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here etc... The above listed book is very good.

Tell them traits that you have that would be benificial to their company. Also tell them what you like to do in your spare time as well as your family life. I have been to 3 interviews and told them all of the above, and all 3 times I got the job on the spot.

I would say the first thing to do is identify what you consider ideal and perhaps write it down. With those qualities in mind you can begin to think seriously about who you would want to work for, where you would want to work and what kind of work you would want to do. \n\nAs you are thinking about that, take a look at your resume / cv. Does your knowledge, skills, experiences and education align you with your perfect job or do you need additional skills and training to help make you more marketable. If there are gaps, now is the time to address them.\n\nWith that accomplished, you can set out with your list of qualities and your resume to find your perfect job. I suggest the best approach to this facet of your job search is to use a mixed approach. You can put your resume on the boards, but my experience has proven that it isn't the most effecient or effective way to find a job. Additionally, scour the job boards (Monster.com, Hotjobs. com, Careerbuilder.com and any niche sites that you may know of or be a member of) and identify jobs that you would want to apply for. Make sure that you are not kidding yourself or overestimating your abilities.\n\nWhile all of this is going on get the word out, talk to everyone you know and let them know that you are on the market and what kind of work you are looking for. Networking is one of the most effective ways to find a job.\n\nThis isn't an exhaustive step-by-step guide, but it should help you get started. All of this advice comes from a number of years of experience as a recruiter for large corporations.

The best way to answer that questions is to be honest: why did you pick that company? Do you like their organization, do you see a way to advance, can you learn a lot, or use a particular skill you have? Want to get other skills from them? These are the reasons to list for wanting that job.\n\nAs far as the questions, ask them about their benefit programs, opportunities for advancement or movement within the company, about their community programs or activities, and finally, their assessment of the work culture in the office. You might also ask if you could spend a few hours with the group you'd be working with (upon offer of a job) before accepting.

Well, it's hard to give you a specific answer here because I don't know what type of job you are applying for...but you might try something like this:\n\nI feel uniquely qualified for this position because I'm familiar with your company (don't bluff this-do your homework on the company). I feel I possess the ability to adapt to any situation, I'm completely loyal to the company and I want to be a part of the team that helps this company grow even more successful in the future.\n\nHope this helps.  Maybe you already thought of this.  Well, good luck anyway.

Answer all questions with a tone of confidence and looking into the interviewers eyes.  Don't use slang, such as 'yeah'; it should be something like, "Yes, I have worked in the industry for 3 years." etc.  At the end stand up, offer a firm handshake, and say "I'm sure I could be an asset to your company and I look forward to hearing from you."

If it is for interview (for any company, really), state:\nwhen, how and how often you've used their product/service in the past, and what you thought of the experience. Highlight areas that you were either impressed with, or would like to improve.\n\nThen proceed to what you want to offer, e.g. as a Circuit City employee, I'd like to help the customer find what they are looking for, and leave as a satisfied customer.\n\nGood luck!

They are also most likely to ask some of the following:\n1) What are your strengths and weaknesses? Be careful here when u talk abt your weaknesses, try to turn in into something positive. For example, "I'm not very good in MS Powerpoint but I'm working on it at the moment by taking up a course to be better at it" or something like that.\n\n2)So tell us about yourself. This simple request was the first thing they asked me when i got into the room and i was so nervous and stumped by such a simple question. Dont be like me. Go in prepared about what you're gonna tell them about yourself.\n\n3)Why do you want to work here?\n\n4)Why should we hire you?\n\nYep that's all I can think of for now! Good luck! I have one to go to tmr too! Hope that goes well! hehehe. Remember to stay calm, collected and be honest. Never lie cos I've been told that some trained HR professionals can actually read body language and also check up on your references. :) Cheers!

Have good answers prepared and rehearsed to the following questions:\n\nWhy do you want to work here?\nWhat do you know about this company?\nWhere do you see yourself in two years?\nWhat is your greatest strength?\nWhat is your greatest weakness?\n\nThe first question is the one most people fumble...

The ones I have always hear are:\nWhy do you want to work for our company? They want to see if you did any research on what their company actually does. So let them know that you want to join their company because you like the industry or a certain priduct thy produce.\n\nAnother is, why should I hire you? You need to differentiate yourself here. If you say I know this or know that, well, what is so different about you from the next candidate that knows that stuff as well. You need to talk more about you personally...something not other person has.

Be early upon arrival. Do some extensive research on the position that you are going to interview for. Be prepared to ask a few questions about what will be expected from you. Ask questions concerning training and continuation of education. Never say anything negative about a past employer or job experience. Also be prepared to answer situation based questions. For example: When have you received bad service and what did you do? These questions have replaced the questions of yesterday,because not only do they give insight into your personality,but also display your judgment and cognitive ability. Some of these questions have nothing to do with the job, or the position yet they are universal in determining a good employee. The night before buff up on simple algebra and grammar, and maybe take an on line typing speed test. Reason being is that if the interview goes well, often employers will ask you to take a skills test or an assessment right away. Finally, have a fresh copy of your resume or c.v. on nice paper, list of references, and past salary(always lie about this ,so you get more money) . G'luck

even though you are asked to speak about yourself, you should tailor your answer to what training etc has prepared you to be the best candidate for the job. all answers to questions in a job interview should be directed to what you can do for the company.
