By being conscientious and hard working. Showing dedication to the job/task and encouraging others to meet their full potential. Setting a high standard as an example for others to work by. Also by putting the effort myself I would show that I wouldn't expect others to work harder than I would, that I expect the same commitment as I myself would give.

I would start by saying that I don't believe I am actually 'weak' in any area. I acknowledge certain areas that I believe I can improve, (and then pick some relatively unimportant or irrelevant areas that have nothing to do with the nature of the job I am being interviewed for). This way I send them a message that I am the kind of person who tend to work on and improve my weaknesses.

Well i don't know you, but when asked what do I see in my future, I'd say "your Job" to whoever was asking.\nAsk your friends these very questions, like ask her/him "what do you think makes me a good manager?" They can come up with the best answer for you.

It's hard to say without knowing what kind of job and how you're going about it now. \n\n1. Don't bring your friends or little sister with you to interviews or filling out applications. \n\n2. Dress for success. This isn't time for fashion week; look at the way other employees are dressed and dress one step nicer. Or imagine grandma taking you to church.\n\n3. Have self-confidence in the interview. Try and eliminate the "ummm's" and "yeah's". You are smart and ready to work. Let the manager know it!\n\n4. BE ON TIME for the interview.

If you want to be the "boss" make sure you know what you're asking. First, makes sure you've researched everything there is to know about what you're topics are in the meeting. Second, if the big boss is asking who has an idea or suggestions, make sure you try in a "cool" way to introduce your idea and sound convincing enough that would make you different among everyone. Last, make sure that you can do the ideas you suggest so that when youre asked to take charge of the project you can deliver your ideas and kick butt!

Make sure and tell things that are related to the position that you are hiring for. Have a story to go with the different qualities that you are stressing.  For instance, if you say that you have a lot of initiative share a story about a past position where you showed that quality.  Don't talk about your personal life--that is not what the interviewer wants to hear about at this stage.

Stop acting like God's gift and they'll start paying more attention to you.\n\nA wise old boss once told me, "When it's everybody else, it ain't everybody else."

Have a real story about a job experience that makes you look good.  You can describe how you helped a customer that did not understand how something worked.  This allows the interviewer to see some of your personality and relates to the job.  A good combination that will separate you from the other candidates.

First of all any experience you have in this area needs to be emphasized. List all of experiences you have no matter how small, showing them that you have an attention to detail, which is a great supervisor trait. List any skill you have as a people person as well as leader for they will be looking for someone who can do both. Last use references that not only give you a good endorsement but will ensure to them that you have unlimited potential and would be a tremendous asset to their staff and company. I hope this will be of some help to you and good luck on your new job.

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!

1) Bring up a current event that mostly everyone knows about. If you're too shy to assert your opinion, all you have to do is phrase it like, "What do you think of..?" \n\n2)Bring up the most interesting OBSCURE current event you are aware of. You can't be shy when you use this option, though, because first impressions about YOU will be centered around how your company feels about the issue you just brought up. You can look on Yahoo's "Odd News", etc. for ideas. \n\nI like to use this option when all else fails, because, if you choose the issue correctly, not only will it tell others about you (whether you think so or not), but you will be able to gauge qualities in your company such as sense of humor and wittiness (a ready reply to your issue), you'll be able to determine who's worth pursuing and who is a stick in the mud, etc.

Every interview has a unique focus, but some questions are asked so often, it makes sense to do all you can to prepare for them. In order to be successful, you need a strategy -- not scripted answers. Your goal should be to emphasize your past experiences that best fit what each interviewer is looking for.\n\n\nTell me about a time when you faced a major obstacle at work.\n\nIntent: Similar to the proudest achievement question, this is a behavioral interview question focused on an event. In this case, the interviewer is interested in your ability to overcome a major hurdle.\n\nContext: Pick an example that illustrates a significant obstacle that best demonstrates how you work and that had a positive, tangible outcome. Obstacles might include business problems, a difficult objective, key people who stood in your way or lack of resources. Once you have your example, explain the steps you took.\n\nResponse: You could include the analysis you performed and the resulting strategy, the process you took, the key actions performed, your arguments or anything else that clearly demonstrates how you achieved your goal. A great response technique for this kind of question is to break your answer down into phases or steps: "First, I... Second...."\n\nHow do you deal with conflict?\n\nIntent: Conflict is part of any workplace, and the reality is that you often can't get ahead or perform well in your job unless you can deal with conflict at a basic level. Do you avoid conflict or face it? Do you think it through, or are you emotional? Do you use constructive techniques to resolve the situation?\n\nContext: There are different forms of conflict of course: the everyday interpersonal sort, disagreements in direction or strategy, and conflict over resources. You should describe how you handle conflict at an appropriate level. If you are a manager or executive, for example, pick a reflective example.\n\nResponse: Consider offering a specific example to demonstrate how you resolve conflict.\n\nTell me about yourself.\n\nIntent: Such an innocent-sounding question, but it is a bit of a trap. The interviewer wants to see how you present yourself, but this is not an offer to recite your resume.\n\nContext: This question, which when asked always occurs at the beginning of the interview, is a predictable opportunity to craft an engaging, intriguing executive summary of who you are professionally and why you are there. While there is no hard-and-fast rule as to how long it should be, let's say it should last up to a minute. If you are given this opportunity, turn it to your advantage to establish momentum.\n\nResponse: The stronger the connection you can make between your background, knowledge and interests, and the job at hand, the more compelling you will be as a candidate. If there is something notable about your personal life that adds to your candidacy or helps explain your career trajectory, add it. Otherwise, leave personal details out at this stage unless invited to do so.\n\nHow would you describe your work style? \n\nIntent: This is a fairly open-ended question. At a basic level, the interviewer is interested in hearing how you both understand and articulate how you work. However, there may be a requirement for someone highly organized, or the team may have a specific way of working, and the interviewer wants to see if you fit.\n\nContext: You may not have thought about this too carefully before. How do you best operate? What's the optimum work situation for you? There are two sides to this: how you work and in what kinds of work environments do you work best. Are you highly structured? Do you focus on one thing and get it done, or move multiple projects forward concurrently? On the environment side, do you do best in fairly structured workplaces, or do you thrive in chaos?\n\nResponse: Like any other answer, being specific and backing up your answer with a brief example works best. You could use the past week as an illust

Honesty is the best policy. When promoting people you must be able to trust that they will act with integrity. The main question for management will be, how can you ensure this not occurring if you receive the promotion?

When I, as an HR Director, ask an individual to tell him about him or herself, I am looking to see where they go with the question.  Honestly, I am NOT looking to hear about friend, family, vacations, hobbies, or interests.  I AM looking to something to give me a clue as to how this complete stranger sitting in front of me will fit in on our team.  I want to hear that they are committed/dedicated to an employer, I NEED to hear that they are dependable, I really want to hear that they are a team player.\n\nTypically the "Tell me about yourself" question is the first thing an interviewer will ask.  It is the interviewee's first opportunity to shine!  Often times at this end of this question I have made my decision.

Read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It's old, but there's a reason that it's a classic.
