But be ready to give the hiring manager a two-minute answer about the kind of worker you are…they don’t need to know your life history or a laundry list of your hobbies and activities. To answer this question well, stay focused on the things you have done professionally that you feel passionately about. Use examples to back it up. Your answer should tell the hiring manager that you are great at your job, you love your work, and are therefore the best person to hire.


2. Where do you see yourself in ten years?


To answer this, focus on what you think is an achievable career goal within this specific organization and then explain how you’ll get there.


3. What is your greatest weakness? Again, frame your response as it relates to the work you do.


Be honest, but show how you have worked or are working to overcome the weakness. Some career coaches recommend that you answer with a strength instead, like I try too hard to please everyone. This can work, but you have to make sure you sound authentic. If it sounds too good to be true, the hiring manager may feel deceived. And hiring managers don’t hire people who have deceived them.


4. What salary are you looking for? Questions about salary are tricky.


You don’t want to name a price that is higher than they can offer, but you don’t want to go too low and give the impression that you are not worth a good wage. One way to handle this question is to ask what their range is. Another way to handle this is to know going into the interview what people in comparable jobs, with similar education and experience are earning in your area.


5. Why do you want to work for us?


This is your chance to show them what you know about the company, the industry, and the job. Show them how your professional beliefs align with their company mission and values statements. Explain why you feel passionately about this particular industry. Highlight your qualifications and areas of expertise that match or exceed the job requirements listed in the job description.

HOW TO STAY FOCUSSED.

# Plan each day.
Write a to-do list, putting the most important tasks at the top Delegate. Take a look at your to-do list and consider what you can pass on to someone else or eliminate altogether.
# Take the time you need to do a quality job.
Doing work right the first time may take more time upfront, but errors usually result in time spent making corrections, which takes more time overall.
# Say no to non-essential tasks.
Consider your goals and schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.
# Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks.
Work on them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.
# Practice the 10-minute rule.
Work on a dreaded task for 10 minutes each day. Once you get started, you may find you can finish it.
# Get plenty of sleep and exercise.

Improved focus and concentration will help improve your efficiency so that you can complete your work in less time.
# Take a break when you need one.
Too much stress can derail your attempts at getting organized. When you need a break, take one. Watch a game. Do some quick stretches at your workstation.
# Drink in moderation.
Don't use this once-in-a-lifetime event to lead into recklessness. In addition to the dangers of binge drinking and the devastation of a hangover, you don't want your memories to be a blur.
# Be patient.
It's likely that some of your projects will be delayed, especially those that involve many role players. Be patient, remember the context and plan for delays.

How to answer 12 of the most common interview questions

How to answer 12 of the most common interview questions


1. So, tell me a little about yourself.
I’d be very surprised if you haven’t been asked this one at every interview. It’s probably the most asked question because it sets the stage for the interview and it gets you talking. Be careful not to give the interviewer your life story here. You don’t need to explain everything from birth to present day. Relevant facts about education, your career and your current life situation are fine.

2. Why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?
This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. It’s not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be as brief as possible about it. If you were fired, you’ll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.

3. Tell me what you know about this company.
Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it’s being the VP of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you’re going to work for. Has this company been in the news lately? Who are the people in the company you should know about? Do the background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested in the company and the job.

4. Why do you want to work at X Company?
This should be directly related to the last question. Any research you’ve done on the company should have led you to the conclusion that you’d want to work there. After all, you’re at the interview, right? Put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.

5. What relevant experience do you have?
Hopefully if you’re applying for this position you have bags of related experience, and if that’s the case you should mention it all. But if you’re switching careers or trying something a little different, your experience may initially not look like it’s matching up. That’s when you need a little honest creativity to match the experiences required with the ones you have. People skills are people skills after all, you just need to show how customer service skills can apply to internal management positions, and so on.

6. If your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you?
Ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. If some people from your past are going to say you’re a boring A-hole, you don’t need to bring that up. Stay positive, always, and maybe have a few specific quotes in mind. “They’d say I was a hard worker” or even better “John Doe has always said I was the most reliable, creative problem-solver he’d ever met.”

7. Have you done anything to further your experience?
This could include anything from night classes to hobbies and sports. If it’s related, it’s worth mentioning. Obviously anything to do with further education is great, but maybe you’re spending time on a home improvement project to work on skills such as self-sufficiency, time management and motivation.

8. Where else have you applied?
This is a good way to hint that you’re in demand, without sounding like you’re whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companies but don’t go into detail. The fact that you’re seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.

9. How are you when you’re working under pressure?

Once again, there are a few ways to answer this but they should all be positive. You may work well under pressure, you may thrive under pressure, and you may actually PREFER working under pressure. If you say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going to help you get your foot in the door.

10. What motivates you to do a good job?
The answer to this one is not money, even if it is. You should be motivated by life’s noble pursuits. You want recognition for a job well done. You want to become better at your job. You want to help others or be a leader in your field.

11. What’s your greatest strength?
This is your chance to shine. You’re being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don’t hold back and stay do stay positive. You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your greatest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.

12. What’s your biggest weakness?
If you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like “I’m perhaps too committed to my work and don’t spend enough time with my family.” Oh, there’s a fireable offense. I’ve even heard “I think I’m too good at my job, it can often make people jealous.” Please, let’s keep our feet on the ground. If you’re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. Example: “I’ve been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so I’ve been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress.”
