5 Tough Interview Questions You May Likely Fail - Part 5

Posted on Thu 29th Jan, 2015 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (5 comments)


The need for adequate preparation before interview cannot be over emphasized. Most job seekers think that just by the fact that they graduated well in school makes them employable. If you do not prepare and get the questions right, your prospective employer may just think you are one of those who had obtain grades by unconventional means in school.

What you do is prepare and prepare because you don’t know the day of your visitation, the day that your prospective  employer will call you that you should come for interview. The old saying that luck is preparedness meeting with opportunity is still true today.

TOUGH INTERVIEW QUESTIONS YOU MAY LIKELY FAIL - PART 5

In furthering our series in "Tough Interview Questions You May Likely Fail", below are some of the most commonly asked tough questions in an interview setting and answer tips to get you started:

1.) Why Are You Leaving Your Current Role?


Bad Answer: I can’t stand my boss, or the work I’m doing.”

Hint: Again, stay away from badmouthing your job or employer. Focus on the positive.

Good Answer: I’ve learned a lot from my current role, but now I’m looking for a new challenge, to broaden my horizons and to gain a new skill-set all of which, I see the potential for in this job.Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

3.) What Do You Think Of Your Previous Boss?


Bad Answer:
He was completely incompetent, and a nightmare to work with, which is why I’ve moved on.

Hint: Remember, if you get the job, the person interviewing you will some day be your previous boss. The last thing they want is to hire someone who they know is going to badmouth them some day. Instead of trashing your former employer, stay positive, and focus on what you learned from him (no matter how awful he really was).

Good Answer:
My last boss taught me the importance of time management, he didn’t pull any punches, and was extremely deadline-driven. His no-nonsense attitude pushed me to work harder, and to meet deadlines I never even thought were possible. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

3.) Describe A Time When You Did Not Get Along With A Co-worker


Bad Answer: I’m easy to get along with, so I’ve never had any kind of discord with another coworker.

Hint: Interviewers don’t like these types of ‘easy out’ answers. And besides, they know you are probably not telling the truth. Think of a relatively benign (but significant) instance, and spin it to be a positive learning experience.

Good 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 child’s family. Our personalities just didn’t 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 weren’t 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. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

4.) When Were You Most Satisfied In Your Job?


Bad Answer:
I was most satisfied when I did well, and got praised for my work.

Hint: Don’t give vague answers. Instead, think about something you did well and enjoyed that will be relevant at this new job. This is an opportunity for you to share your interests, prove that you’re a great fit for the job and showcase your enthusiasm.

Good Answer: I’m a people person. I was always happiest — and most satisfied — when I was interacting with customers, making sure I was able to meet their needs and giving them the best possible customer experience. It was my favorite part of the job, and it showed – I was rated as “Good or Excellent” 95% of the time. Part of the reason I’m interested in this job is that I know I’d have even more interaction with customers, on an even more critical level. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

5.) What Did You Like Least About Your Last Job?


Bad Answer: A lack of stability. I felt like the place could collapse around me at any time.

Hint: Try and stay away from anything that draws on the politics, culture or financial health of your previous employer. No matter how true it might be, comments like these will be construed as too negative. Also, you don’t want to focus on a function that might be your responsibility in the next role. So think of something you disliked in your last job, but that you know for sure won’t be part of this new role.

Good Answer: There was nothing about my last job that I hated, but I guess there were some things I liked less than others. My previous role involved traveling at least twice a month. While I do love to travel, twice a month was a little exhausting — I didn’t like spending quite so much time out of the office. I’m happy to see that this role involves a lot less travel.
