Common Interview Questions and Answers

Question: Tell Me About You. Company desires someone who can multitask. Example: ABC Company values the ability to manage several different
tasks or responsibilities at the same time as an essential part of this position.
Example Answer: I think the best way to describe myself would be that
Im a detail-oriented team player who thrives off of working on
several projects at the same time, which I believe I showed in my
last position at Nike. I was responsible for inventory, shipping and
receiving. I love being critically involved with the details and
coordination of projects and I think I thrive in this type of
environment; it keeps my mind sharp, active and engaged.
Question: Whats Your Biggest Weakness? Question asked by companies
who want detail-oriented. Example: XYZ Company values individuals who are
highly organized and pay great attention to every detail.
Example Answer: I am an extremely thorough and particular
individual, who places a large amount of importance on getting all
aspects of a project done properly. This tremendous focus on the
details can sometimes require more time than is originally allotted
for a project, which in certain situations can be troublesome. Im
conscious of the ramifications of this behavior and do my best to
strike a balance between perfection and efficiency.
Question: Why are you leaving your current job?
Example Answer: Frame things in a way that shows that you're eager
to take on new opportunities and that the role youre interviewing
for is a better fit for you than your current or last position. For
example, Id really love to be part of product development from
beginning to end, and I know Id have that opportunity in this
position.
Question: Tell me about a time when you didnt get along with a
coworker.
Example Answer: I used to lock heads with a fellow nurse in the INCU
ward. We disagreed over a lot of things from the care of patients to
who got what shifts to how to speak with a childs family. Our
personalities just didnt mesh. After three months of arguing, I
pulled her aside and asked her to lunch. At lunch, we talked about
our differences and why we werent getting along. It turns out, it
was all about communication. We communicated differently and
once we knew that, we began to work well together. I really believe
that talking a problem through with someone can help solve any
issue.
Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an irate customer.
