COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1.So tell us about yourself
Here most of the people tends to tell their life stories,example Iam Jacob banso I come from Ngopyolo village, my parents passed away long time ago and............, Interviewers do not need all these stories the aim of asking you such a question they expect mainly four things from you:-(i).Your official names (ii).Your education in relation to what you are applying for(iii).Experience you have and (iv).Extra knowledge and skills.

2.Do you have a weakness?
Here the answer should be "YES". this is due to the fact that nobody is perfect under the sun, conversely you are lying. state you weakness in a positive way example my weakness is that i admire working only with faithful people, and here is were the problem arises.But iam am struggling hard to overcome this by trying to make all people become failthful in their ways.

3.Why should we hire you?
Here you may say that this job i applied for it is my favourate one since when i was kid,so i believe that i will perform it efficiently from the bottom part of my heart, though i need money to sustain my life.This shows that you are not applying for the sake of getting money.

4.How much should we pay you?
The best way of answering this question is to return the question to the interviewer, you may ask that how much do you pay a person of my proffessional in your company? if they keep on asking then you may say Tshs.500,00 /600,000 /700,000 this will keep them in dilema and you will be in a safe side.And if the say direct we will pay you Tshs.500,00 how do you find that, here don't say yes try to think and bargain a bit, this will show show confident you are.

5.Are you a team player?
Here the answer should be "YES", but some of the people confuse this question, you may found that someone answer "i hate football". But the main aim of this question is to determine to whether you can work comfortably with your fellow workers.

6.What is your strength?
Simply answer this question that, I can work under pressure and I can work without supervision.

7.Why did you leave you last boss/Job?
Here do not describe your last Job stories negatively, but you may say other positive reasons that made you to leave the Job such as I resigned it because went to school to advance my carrier or the last job was contract based and the contract has come to an end or or you may answer it in any how but remember not blame the last Job/boss/

8.What is your policy?
Simply you may say that My policy is to focus on the goals, but these goals are for the benefit of the company/Organization you are applying for.

9.Have you applied somewhere else?
The base answer is "YES", here most of the people say NO this shows that you are lazy and you are not struggling hard to find a Job.

10.Doy you have a question?
Here most of the people tend to ask the company about the incentives that are provided to the workers, but it is not recommended to answer this question in this way, rather try to ask about the goals of the company so that you can make research on the way you can improve productivity of the company/organization.

There are more questions you can be asked but I have tried to pick out just few of them.I recommend you to keep visiting this blog for more updates.
