Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that you now feel a little ashamed of.
Question 4 Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that you now feel a little ashamed of.
TRAPS:
There are some questions your interviewer has no
business asking, and this is
one. But while
you may feel like answering, “none
of your business,” naturally
you can’t.
Some interviewers
ask this question on the chance you admit to something, but if not, at
least they’ll see
how you think on your feet.
Some unprepared
candidates, flustered by this question, unburden themselves of guilt
from their
personal life or career, perhaps expressing regrets regarding a parent,
spouse, child,
etc. All such answers can be disastrous.
BEST ANSWER:
As with faults and weaknesses, never confess a regret. But don’t
seem as if you’re
stonewalling either.
Best strategy: Say you harbor no regrets, then add a
principle or habit you practice
regularly for
healthy human relations.
Example: Pause for reflection, as if the question
never occurred to you. Then say, “You
know, I really
can’t think of anything.” (Pause again, then add): “I would add that as a
general
management principle, I’ve found that the best way to avoid regrets is to avoid
causing them in
the first place. I practice one habit that helps me a great deal in this
regard. At the
end of each day, I mentally review the day’s events and conversations to
take a second
look at the people and developments I’m involved with and do a

Questions Page 8 doublecheck of
what they’re likely to be feeling. Sometimes I’ll see things that do need more follow-up,
whether a pat on the back, or maybe a five minute chat in someone’snoffice to make
sure we’re clear on things…whatever.”
“I also like to
make each person feel like a member of an elite team, like the Boston
Celtics or LA
Lakers in their prime. I’ve found that if you let each team member know
you expect
excellence in their performance…if you work hard to set an example
yourself…and if
you let people know you appreciate and respect their feelings, you wind
up with a highly
motivated group, a team that’s having fun at work because they’re
striving for
excellence rather than brooding over slights or regrets.”
Question 5 Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position?
TRAPS:
Never badmouth your previous industry, company,
board, boss, staff,
employees or
customers. This rule is inviolable: never
be negative. Any
mud you hurl
will only soil
your suit.
Especially avoid
words like “personality clash”, “didn’t get along”, or others which cast a
shadow on your
competence, integrity, or temperament.
BEST ANSWER:
(If you have a job presently)
If you’re not yet
100% committed to leaving your present post, don’t be afraid to say so.
Since you have a
job, you are in a stronger position than someone who does not. But
don’t be coy
either. State honestly what you’d be hoping to find in a new spot. Of
course, as stated
often before, you answer will all the stronger if you have already
uncovered what
this position is all about and you match your desires to it.
(If you do not presently have a job.)
Never lie about
having been fired. It’s unethical – and too easily checked. But do try to
deflect the
reason from you personally. If your firing was the result of a takeover,
merger, division
wide layoff, etc., so much the better.
But you should
also do something totally unnatural that will demonstrate consummate
professionalism.
Even if it hurts , describe
your own firing – candidly, succinctly and
without a trace
of bitterness – from the company’s point-of-view,
indicating that you
could understand
why it happened and you might have made the same decision
yourself.
Your stature will
rise immensely and, most important of all, you will show you are healed
from the wounds
inflicted by the firing. You will enhance your image as first-class
management
material and stand head and shoulders above the legions of firing victims
who, at the
slightest provocation, zip open their shirts to expose their battle scars and
decry the
unfairness of it all.
For all prior positions:
Make sure you’ve
prepared a brief reason for leaving. Best
reasons: more
money,
opportunity,
responsibility or growth.

Question 6 The “Silent Treatment”
TRAPS:
Beware – if you are
unprepared for this question, you will probably not handle
it right and
possibly blow the interview. Thank goodness most interviewers don’t employ
it. It’s normally
used by those determined to see how you respond under stress. Here’s
how it works:
You answer an
interviewer’s question and then, instead of asking another, he just stares
at you in a
deafening silence.
You wait, growing
a bit uneasy, and there he sits, silent as Mt. Rushmore, as if he
doesn’t believe
what you’ve just said, or perhaps making you feel that you’ve unwittingly
violated some
cardinal rule of interview etiquette.
When you get this
silent treatment after answering a particularly difficult question , such
as “tell me about
your weaknesses”, its intimidating effect can be most disquieting, even
to polished job
hunters.
Most unprepared
candidates rush in to fill the void of silence, viewing prolonged,
uncomfortable
silences as an invitation to clear up the previous answer which has
obviously caused
some problem. And that’s what they do – ramble on, sputtering more
and more
information, sometimes irrelevant and often damaging, because they are
suddenly playing
the role of someone who’s goofed and is now trying to recoup. But
since the
candidate doesn’t know where or how he goofed, he just keeps talking,
showing how
flustered and confused he is by the interviewer’s unmovable silence.
BEST ANSWER:
Like a primitive tribal mask, the Silent
Treatment loses all it power to
frighten you once
you refuse to be intimidated. If your interviewer pulls it, keep quiet
yourself for a
while and then ask, with sincere politeness and not a trace of sarcasm, “Is
there anything else I can fill in on that point?” That’s all there
is to it.
Whatever you do,
don’t let the Silent Treatment intimidate you into talking a blue streak,
because you could
easily talk yourself out of the position.

General Guidelines in Answering Interview Questions || Interview Questions || Guidelines Interview
Question 1 : Tell me about yourself.
TRAPS:
Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this “innocent” question. Many
candidates,
unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping
their life story,
delving into ancient work history or personal matters.
BEST ANSWER:
Start with the present and tell why you
are well qualified for the
position.
Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your
qualifications to
what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the
buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy
in job hunting.
So, before you
answer this or any question it's imperative that you
try to uncover your
interviewer's
greatest need, want, problem or goal.
To do so, make you take these two steps:
1. Do all the
homework you can before the interview to uncover this person’s wants
and needs (not
the generalized needs of the industry or company)
2. As early as
you can in the interview, ask for a more complete description of what
the position
entails. You might say: “I have a number of accomplishments I'd like
to tell you about,
but I want to make the best use of our time together and talk
directly to your
needs. To help me do, that, could you tell me more about the
most important
priorities of this position? All I know is what I (heard from the
recruiter, read
in the classified ad, etc.)”
Then, ALWAYS follow-up with a second and possibly, third question, to draw out his
needs even more.
Surprisingly, it's usually this second
or
third question that
unearths
what the
interviewer is most looking for.
You might ask
simply, "And in addition to that?..." or, "Is there anything
else you see as
essential to
success in this position?:
This process will
not feel easy or natural at first, because it is easier simply to answer
questions, but
only if you uncover the employer's wants and needs will your answers
make the most
sense. Practice asking these key questions before giving your answers,
the process will
feel more natural and you will be light years ahead of
the other job
candidates you’re competing with.
After uncovering
what the employer is looking for, describe why the needs of this job
bear striking
parallels to tasks you've succeeded at before. Be sure to illustrate with
specific examples
of your responsibilities and especially your achievements, all of which
are geared to
present yourself as a perfect match for the needs he has just described.
Question 2 What are your greatest strengths?
TRAPS:
This question seems like a softball lob, but be
prepared. You don’t want to
come across as
egotistical or arrogant. Neither is this a time to be humble.
BEST ANSWER:
You know that your key strategy is to
first uncover your interviewer’s
greatest wants
and needs before you answer questions. And from Question 1, you know
how to do this.
Prior to any
interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest
strengths. You
should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each
strength, an
example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements.
You should, have
this list of your greatest strengths and corresponding examples from
your achievements
so well committed to memory that you can recite them cold after
being shaken
awake at 2:30AM.
Then, once you
uncover your interviewer’s greatest wants and needs, you can choose
those achievements
from your list that best match up.
As a general
guideline, the 10 most desirable traits that all employers love to see in their
employees are:
1. A proven track
record as an achiever...especially
if your achievements match
up with the employer’s greatest wants and needs.
2.
Intelligence...management "savvy".
3.
Honesty...integrity...a decent human being.
4. Good fit with
corporate culture...someone to feel comfortable with...a team
player who meshes
well with interviewer’s team.
5.
Likeability...positive attitude...sense of humor.
6. Good
communication skills.
7.
Dedication...willingness to walk the extra mile to achieve excellence.
8. Definiteness
of purpose...clear goals.
9.
Enthusiasm...high level of motivation.
10.
Confident...healthy...a leader.
