1. Tell me about yourself?

Step 1: Give a brief introduction about yourself:

For example: My name is Peter. I graduated from XYZ University with bachelor degree in Sales. After 5 years working as a Sales Manager, I have well experienced in training, mentoring and motivating other sales personnel to achieve the goals of the Company.
Step 2: Give a brief summary of your experience in your latest positions:
Give a summary of 2-3 latest companies that you have worked for and companies that have helped you succeed with your new jobs.
For example: recently, I have worked for ABC Company as Sales Manager for North-East Region. With my skills from training courses, I developed many sales campaigns which contributed much to the development of new customers and maintenance of current customer base. After 6 months, my sales force and I did regain the company’s market and promote the sales revenue up by 37%.
Step 3: Connect your ability to the employer’s requirements:
Never assume that the employer will by himself be able to connect all of your abilities to the job requirements.
Step 4: Make a concerning question:
With a concerning question, it will help you gain “control” of the interview. You may reduce the stress of the interview with such questions.
For example: I would like to know the strong points of your company’s current Sales force.

2. Why did you leave your last job?

Why did you leave your last job?
One of the most frequent questions in any interview is that “Why are you leaving your last job?” or

“Why did you quit your last job?”
“Why did you leave your last job?”
“Why are you leaving your last job?”
…..

1. Some sample answers to the interview question: “Why are you leaving your last job?”

• There is no opportunity to promote in my current job and I’m ready to face a new challenge;
• I have worked there for 04 years with much experience and skills. I want to be promoted but the Company do not offer me that opportunity;
• The company has cut down with its focus on the business line my job is responsible for;
• My family transferred to another region, or, my current workplace is too far away from my home;
• My old company often paid late and had inadequate compensation policy

 3. What is your greatest weakness?

1. Ways to answer:

a) First way: Turning your strong point into weak point.

For example: I am a perfectionist and therefore, I rarely believe in anyone who can work as well as me. As a result, I am afraid to delegate important tasks to others.
This approach has a weak side as that if you are not clever, you will cause the employer to believe that you are cheating him.
b) Second way: Solving your weakness absolutely.
A better approach is that you state one point which was once your weakness, but you have done well to resolve it.
For example: I tended to be a perfectionist, therefore I didn’t like to delegate to others. But I have found out that in order to develop the organization, everyone in the organization must be experienced with many tasks and this is very good for an efficient team work.

2. Steps to answer:

• You need to show it through your attitude and voice: It is really your weakness. And, you may also state some situations how much that weakness has caused you difficulties.
• Give your solution to resolve that weakness, partly or wholly.
• Solutions to a weakness may be training, mentoring, etc

3. Interview Tips for “weakness” question:

• This is a common question in any interview, so don’t try to avoid answering it.
• Never mentioning a weakness that relates to a crucial requirement of the job.
• Don’t try to make up a weakness.

• Don’t say you have no weakness. No one is perfect, therefore, you shouldn’t say you have no weakness.
