What kind of questions are asked in university interviews?
931401
Wear a jacket and tie.  Be polite.\n\nYou don't specify what the interview is for (e.g., some colleges interview undergraduate applicants, but most don't -- while all the top MBA programs interview candidates).\n\nExpect to be asked why you want to go to that school.  It is OK to talk about what going there will do for you -- but you should also let them know what you will do for them (how your being there will help other students, etc).\n\nThey may ask you about your interests, and what you want to do when you get out.  It is OK to say you don't know -- or that you think being there will open options that you can't now imagine.

It's a little unclear from your question, but I'm assuming you're talking about the college interview process. As someone going through that myself at the moment (I had my first yesterday) here are a few tips:\n\n1. Be yourself!  \nOkay, okay, this isn't especially helpful, but it's essential.  If you're pre-rehearsed, you'll sound stiff and unnatural, and your interviewer will be able to tell. Let the best parts of your personality shine through - think of it as a conversation rather than an interview.\n\n2. Demonstrate a passion for something.\nColleges want INTERESTING people.  Most college interviewers don't see your GPA or scores, so right now it's just you who matters.  It doesn't matter what your extra-curriculars or interests are as much as it does that you're able to demonstrate a real enthusiasm for them.  Show that you have a spark that sets you aside from all the other applicants.  Be prepared to answer a very vague prompt such as, "Tell me about yourself."\n\n3. Know about the school.\nInterviews can be unpredictable, but one question that you're absolutely going to get is, "Why here?"  Be ready.  Have a good answer that shows that you've thought about the school and know what it's like and how it presents itself.\n\n4. Have questions of your own.\nMost interviewers will ask if you have any questions about the school.  As I've said above, you should have some that show you've already done some research of your own.\n\n5. Watch your speech.\nMost people have a speech tic, such as using "like" or "um" as a filler between words. (I have a tendency to end my sentences with "basically" or "you know".)  Have a friend or someone you trust listen to you (actually, a practice interview of any sort is not a bad idea) and let you know what yours are so you can work to avoid them.\n\n5. Present yourself well.\nThis should be a given.  Dress nicely - no jeans or t-shirts, no matter where the interview is.  Have your hair brushed, your nails clean, and all that.  First impressions, for better or worse, really do matter.\n\nGood luck!

What exactly is your question about?

i think the most telling question will be a question that verifies the candidates qualifications for the job s/he is seeking.     so think of a situation that the potential employee might find him/herself in, and ask how they would handle that particular situation.    \n\nfor instance, you are interviewing a potential customer service manager.    tell the candidate that s/he has witnessed a staff member being rude to a customer.      What do you do?

Oops, it looks like some questions are beyond the yahoo answers audience.  Good luck to you.  Try the obvious: asking the universities themselves.\n\nPeace be with you.

what kind of question is that???

practice answering typical questions they may ask you.......like.\n1) describe a time you were involved in a conflict, and how did you deal with/resolve it.\n2) tell me about a time when you had a deadline which you realised you could not meet. What did you do?\n3) teall me about a time you were told to do something by a superior you did not agree with. what did you do? \n\nthe trend in this country is to ask 'situational' questions....to find out how you deal with certain situations.\n\nbut seriously, be yourself......smile...you'll be great!!!!

Best thing to do is something called an "informational interview" with people who work in the field.  Instead of framing this question along the line of degrees, look at *what it is you want to do*.  Then look at people who are in that job, call them up, and extremely politely ask them if they would be willing to speak with you about career/educational choices.  Ask them how they got where they got, whether a degree would be useful, etc.\n\nThere should be literature in your local library that would also be useful.  Good luck!

Ask yourself these questions:\n\n1) Am I aiming for a job that is very competitive. If so, how can I stand out from the competition?\n\n2) Am I suitably qualified for what I want to do? If not, how do I go about getting suitably qualified.\n\n3) Am I presenting myself well at the interview stage, and is my CV as good as it could be? If not, maybe take it to a CV doctor. Practice interview techniques. \n\n4) Am I looking in the right publications for jobs? Am I going for the job that is best suited to me? Am I going for something I genuinely feel passionate about, or am I just going for something that 'will do'.

I hope this helps.

These are very hard questions to answer because all of our lives we've been taught to never bragg or speak about ourselves too much.  But that is exactly what they are trying to get you to do.  They want to know what qualities you have that someone else doesn't.  Discuss your work habits/ethic, how you are willing to come in early and stay late, just to make sure the job is done and done right.  As far as your education, before you go to the interview think of a class you've taken or a project that could someway, anyway relate to the business.  I was an Ag major and was interviewing with my current company that manufactures printed boxes, and they asked that question.  I had taken a forestry class in college(thought it was rediculous), but I just raved about how intersted I was after that class and just spouted off some random things that I had learned that could pertain to paper board.  It's fine to make a stretch just don't out right lie.  And never say I don't know.
