Top Interview Questions #4: What Are Your Weaknesses?
This is often one of the top interview questions and comes from psycho-metrics compiled by psychologists for job interviewers. For some reason they feel it’s important to try and trip up the applicant or to see if the applicant has a good understanding of themselves. Of course this is ridiculous, but you need to be prepared for as many top interview questions as possible. So, do the same thing here as you did with your strengths and be honest with yourself because what you feel is a weakness may be perceived as a strength to an employer. For example, if you glance over your employment history, you may see that you tend to care too much about your job and you therefore work harder than required, which takes you away more than you would like from your social life or family. Yeah, that could be a negative for you personally, but would an employer necessarily see it that way? Is working hard and caring a weakness or a strength? Top Interview Questions #5: Where Do You Want To Be In 5 Years? . Obviously, the purpose of #5 of the top interview questions is to see how purposeful your life is. The interviewer wants to accomplish 2 things here. They want to see whether or not you have direction and responsibility in your life and they want to get an idea of how stable you will be as an employee. The company will be making a significant investment in you both in time and in money if they hire you. Will that investment pay off for them? You need to think about this and have a legitimate answer. Top Interview Questions #6: Why Should I Hire You? A really stupid question. That’s for them to answer for themselves, isn’t it? But, there’s a good chance you will be asked this one of the top interview questions because psychologists have determined it’s a good question and interviewers think it’s clever to ask it and companies they admire ask it, so they are going to ask it too! You should say something like: “Because you want somebody who can competently fill the position and who you won’t have to baby-sit…someone who won’t be here today and gone tomorrow.” That sounds a little bit smart-ass, but it really does answer the question.
