    Basic Interview Questions I

38. “Tell me a little about yourself.”**
    You should take this opportunity to show your communication skills by speaking clearly and
    concisely
    in an organized manner. Because there is no right or wrong answer for this question, it is
    important to
    appear friendly.
    Short Answers

“I attended MIT where I majored in Electrical Engineering. My hobbies include basketball,
reading
novels, and hiking.”
“I grew up in Korea and studied accounting. I worked at an accounting firm for two years and I
enjoy
bicycling and jogging.”
“I9m an easy going person that works well with everyone. I enjoy being around different types of
people and I like to always challenge myself to improve at everything I do.”
“I9m a hard worker and I like to take on a variety of challenges. I like pets, and in my spare time,
I like
to relax and read the newspaper.”
“I9ve always liked being balanced. When I work, I want to work hard. And outside of work, I like
to
engage in my personal activities such as golfing and fishing.”
Long Answer
“I went to the University of Washington and majored in English Literature. I went to graduate
school
because I really enjoyed learning. Afterwards, I started my career at Boeing as a web content
editor.
I9ve been there for 3 years now. Although my emphasis is in writing, I like numbers. I think
solving
logic problems and riddles are quite fun. I also enjoy jogging, reading, and watching movies.”
There is no right or wrong answer for this question. Most important thing you should remember is
how
you deliver the message. The example above shows a short answer telling a little bit about the
person.
The answer went from education to career, and then to personal interests all in a smooth flow.
2. “What are your strengths?”
This is a popular interview question. They want to know what you think of yourself. Although
this is a
general question, there is a wrong and right answer. The wrong answer is a generic answer saying
you
are organized and friendly. Although it will not hurt you during the interview, it will certainly not
help
you either. Answer this question based on the type of job you are applying for.

Short Answers

“I believe my strongest trait is my attention to detail. This trait has helped me tremendously in
this field
of work.”
“I9ve always been a great team player. I9m good at keeping a team together and producing quality
work
in a team environment.”
“After having worked for a couple of years, I realized my strength is accomplishing a large
amount of
work within a short period of time. I get things done on time and my manager always appreciated
it.”
“My strongest trait is in customer service. I listen and pay close attention to my customer9s needs
and I
make sure they are more than satisfied.”
Long Answers

quantity and quality.”
“I feel my English ability is my weakest trait. I know this is only a temporary problem. I9m
definitely
studying hard to communicate more effectively.”
“The weakest trait I struggled with was not asking for help. I always try to solve my own
problems
instead of asking a co-worker who might know the answer. This would save me more time and I
would
be more efficient. I9m working on knowing when it would be beneficial to ask for help.”

Long Answers

“I think my weakest trait is my impatience. Whenever I work in a team and a member is not
performing
up to my expectations, I can get impatient and annoyed. I understand if they are working hard and
their
portion is difficult, but sometimes a person can9t do the assignment due to incompetence or
laziness. A
while back I would get frustrated and start complaining, but I realized that I can help out by
explaining
things to some people and encouraging lazy people by reminding them of deadlines. I know it9s
bad to
be impatient, but I9m definitely working on it.”
“I9m too detail oriented. I never want to leave anything out and I want everything to be perfect.
This is
bad because it slows down my work. Initially, I tried to work faster to compensate, but that only
made
me sloppy. So I decided to put more emphasis on priority and planning. By doing so, I9m hoping
that I
can make the proper decisions on what to work on and what to intentionally leave out.”
Both of these examples show an answer that is acceptable. Although being impatient is not good,
it
shows that you are a quick learner and that you like efficiency. The second displays a person that
is
detail oriented, which can be seen as a good trait. Finally, both answers identify the weakness and
show
the actions of correcting it.
4. “What are your short term goals?”
This question primarily depends on where you are in your career. A person with 5 years of
experience
will have different short term goals than a person with no work experience. I9ll give an example
for
both scenarios. But first, here are some short answers.

Short Answers

“My short term goal is to find a position where I can use the knowledge and strengths that I have.
I
want to partake in the growth and success of the company I work for.”
“I9ve learned the basics of marketing during my first two years. I want to take the next step by
taking
on challenging projects. My short term goal is to grow as a marketing analyst.”
“As a program manager, it9s important to understand all areas of the project. Although I have the
technical abilities to be successful in my job, I want to learn different software applications that
might

help in work efficiency.”
“My goal is to always perform at an exceptional level. But a short term goal I have set for myself
is to
implement a process that increases work efficiency.”

Long Answer

“My short term goal is to learn everything I can about marketing. I want to find a position where I
can
contribute what I9ve learned through education and to gain real life experience. I believe the next
couple of years will be very important to me and my immediate goal is to learn and become
skilled in
all aspects of marketing.”
“My short term goal is to get into a management position. The last five years of my career, I9ve
concentrated on learning and acquiring all the skills needed to perform excellent work. Recently,
I9ve
taken more responsibilities in management because I eventually want to become a sales manager.
I9m
excited about the last few assignments I completed because it involved working with vendors and
partners while managing a small group of workers. So I hope to be in a management position
within a
year or two and I feel I9m doing a diligent job by volunteering for extra work to gain more
experience.”
The first example is a person straight out of school. Learning is a good short term goal to have
because
it shows that you will be trying hard in your job. The second example is more detailed because
that
person has several years of experience. Anybody can say they want a management position, but
this
candidate is taking it a step further by showing the steps he is taking to achieve the short term
goal.
Thus, it becomes a stronger answer.
5. “What are your long term goals?”
This question is asked to see how serious a candidate is about his or her career. Some people
might not
know their long term goals, and some people might have long term goals of becoming rich and
retiring
early. Those are incorrect answers for this question. The type of answer you want to give is an
ambitious answer that shows you really love your career. A good interviewer will read between
the
lines and find out if a person is going to be a hard worker or just a mediocre one. Being
descriptive and
shooting for a big goal is something interviewers want to hear.
Short Answer
“I would like to become a director or higher. This might be a little ambitious, but I know I9m
smart, and
I9m willing to work hard.”
“After a successful career, I would love to write a book on office efficiency. I think working
smart is
important and I have many ideas. So after gaining more experience, I9m going to try to write a
book.”
“I9ve always loved to teach. I like to grow newer employees and help co-workers where ever I
can. So

“Five years from now, I want to be a senior sales manager. I9m currently training to become a
manager,
and if I continue to work hard, I feel I9ll have a management position soon. After gaining several
years
of experience as a sales manager, I want to be in a position where I can train and provide my
expertise
to newer sales managers.”
Both answers display characteristics of working hard. The second example also mentions that he
or she
wants to train newer managers. This is a good answer because it targets one good trait about
upper
management… the ability to train managers.
7. “If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be and why?”
This question is another variation to the weakness question. You can provide a similar type of
question
unless it is the same person asking them. To answer this question, think of a person you respect
and the
trait they have that you really like. I used to have a manager that was very patient and explained
things
very carefully. I really liked this trait, so I9m going to provide the long answer by using this
example.
But first, let9s look at some short answers.

Short Answers

Short Answers

“I get easily frustrated at people who don9t work very hard. But I know people have different
work
styles and different work habits. So if I could change something, I would like to be more
understanding.”
“I have high expectations and I have these expectations on others. I think if I was more
understanding, I
could help other workers improve instead of being disappointed.”
“I would like to be more of a risk taker. I always do my work and complete it at an exceptional
level,
but sometimes taking a risk can make the work even better. I9m working on this by thinking the
issue
through and weighing the pros and cons.”
“I would like to be more of an extrovert. I9m a little quiet and a little closer to the introvert side. I
would like to change this because I would appear more friendly.”
Long Answer
“I wish I was more patient with people. I remember a manager I had a couple of years ago. He
was very
patient with everyone. Even workers that were not that smart and failed to understand a concept
to
perform the job. I remember thinking how can this person who can9t understand this concept
continue
to work here. My manager took a different approach. He was understanding of this worker and
explained the concept in a different way. He even explained how to view problems from a
different
perspective. That helped this worker and in time that worker became a strong contributor. So if I
could
change one thing about me, I would like to be more patient and understanding. I9m taking the
steps to

change for the better by remembering the actions of my past manager whenever I9m in a similar
situation.”
This is a little long, but if you can speak smoothly, it shows off your communication skills. Also,
the
content of the answer is not that bad. They want a personality problem, and this answer is
showing
impatience while indicating that you understand difficult concepts easily. It also shows that you
are
working on correcting the bad behavior.
8. “What does success mean to you?”
There are many things you can say. This type of question doesn9t have a wrong answer. All

Long Answers

will be correct. So the best answer is how good you can make the answer. A mediocre answer
will be
something like completing a project on time. You can say this, but add another twist to make the
answer a little better. Here is an example.
Short Answers
“To me, success means to have a goal, plan the steps to achieve the goal, implement the plan, and
finally achieve the goal.”
“Success means to achieve a goal I have set for myself.”
“Success means to produce high quality work before the deadline.”
“Success to me is knowing that my contributions positively impacted my company.”
Long Answer
“Success to me means completing a task and when looking back, thinking I couldn9t have done it
better. To succeed is to complete a task or assignment on time in an excellent manner. But that9s
only
half of it. The results should be good and the people involved should gain a valuable lesson or
experience. For example, if it was a group project, and only two people out of four really did the
work,
I wouldn9t call that success. If everyone participated and worked together providing a valuable
deliverable then it9s a success. So I think both the result and the process should be great to call
something a success.”
This answer is showing that you believe in delivering great quality work. Moreover, it is implying
how
much you value team work. If you value teamwork highly, then it is safe to assume that you
would
make a great team player.
9. “What does failure mean to you?”
This is quite simple. I don9t see many right answers so this is what I suggest. You can believe in
two of
the following. One, you believe that failure is not achieving your goal no matter what. Or two,
you can
believe failure is only when nothing is learned from the failure. I believe in the latter, but you
don9t
have to agree with me.
Short Answers
“Failure is when I do not reach my goal.”
“I think to fail at something is making a mistake and not learning anything from it.”
“To me, failure means to have a goal and not do anything about it.”
“I think failure is not reaching your potential. If you do not use the resources you have and the
resources around you, that9s failure because the work or goal could have been done better.”

However, I9m not picky and don9t need to have things in a certain way. I just want things to be
organized. So yes, I consider myself organized.”
This example should only be done if you are confident with your communication abilities. If you
appear awkward or if you sound like you are reading this type of answer, it could have a negative
effect. Instead, you should make a generic answer if you are uncomfortable with this type of
answer.

11.”In what ways are you organized and disorganized?”
This is another variation to the previous question. This question is a little better because the
question
wants you to identify an area you are disorganized. Make sure to emphasize the organized portion
of
the answer. If you are truly an organized person, then it is really tough thinking about an area you
are
disorganized. So thinking ahead of time will allow you to make a good impression with a solid
answer.

Short Answers

“I9m very organized with my time and work, but my desk is a little disorganized.”
“Since I work with many files, I like to keep my desk organized. I always have everything in a
certain
place so I can find things easier. The area I9m disorganized is probably my computer desktop. I
usually
have so many icons everywhere. I should organize it a little, but I9ve never needed to.”
“I organize my schedule the best. I9m used to many meetings so it9s important for me to be
organized
with my schedule and time. The area I need to improve is probably my file cabinet. I started to
sort
things alphabetically, but when I9m busy, I start putting things in there. It started getting hard to
find
things, but this is something I9m going to fix.”

Long Answer

“Oh… that9s a good question. Well, I9m organized in almost everything I do. I9m very organized
with
my schedule and time. I like to work efficiently, and being organized with my time helps me. The
area
I feel I9m disorganized is probably my desk. I like to work fast and don9t keep my desk area as
tidy as
some people I know. This however doesn9t prevent me from doing my job well. You know some
people can have files and paper all over their desk but some how know exactly where everything
is
located. I think I9m one of those people. However, if I know I9m having a client or a guest, then I
would definitely make things more tidy.”
This answer brings a little humor to the question. It lightens the mood and makes a person seem
real
instead of appearing to be perfect. However, if the job you are applying for requires constant
customer
interaction, then this answer will not be good. This answer would be better for an office job
where not
many people will see your desk.
12.”Do you manage your time well?”
“In what ways do you manage your time well?”

The first question is a little easier. The second question is more difficult because it requires an
example.
I9m going to give an example for the second question and you should be able to use it for the first
question as well.

Short Answer

“I know I manage my time well because I9m never late to work, and I9ve never missed a
deadline.”
“I9m good at managing my time. I stay busy both at home and at work and being able to manage
my
time is necessary for me to do everything that I want to do.”
“I manage my time well by planning out what I have to do for the whole week. It keeps me on
track
and evens helps me to be more efficient.”

Long Answer

“Managing my time is one of my strong traits. I prioritize my tasks and this allows me to stay
ahead of
schedule. Each day I manage my time so I can achieve more than I set out to do. So managing my
time
in a goal oriented way is what I feel very comfortable doing.”
13.”How do you handle change?”
“Are you good at dealing with change?”
Dealing with change is common in the work place. A simple yes will not be sufficient to impress
the
interviewer. This is another type of question where everyone will have similar answers. Of course
everyone is going to claim being excellent dealing with change. You got to communicate that you
are
really good at dealing with change. Here are some examples for you.

Short Answers

“I9m good at dealing with change because I9m a quick thinker. If new information makes us
change our
marketing strategy for example, I9ll be quick to analyze the information and create a plan to make
the
changes.”
“I9ve experienced many changes previously. I handle the situation by quickly coming up to speed
on
the changes and applying myself to make them a success.”
“I9m good at dealing with change because I9m flexible with my work and abilities. I9m not afraid
of
learning new and difficult things. Whenever I9m faced with a change, I9ll put in extra effort to
make the
change a smooth transition.”
“I handle changes smoothly. Whenever there9s a change of any sort, I analyze the situation and I
always try to find ways I can contribute to the change in a positive way.”

Long Answers

“I believe dealing with change is a requirement in the workplace. The mission statement can
change to
introduce a new market segment, or the company might need to change direction. Whatever it is,
as a
member of this team, I would be expected to do my share by absorbing the new information,
analyzing
it thoroughly, sharing my ideas, and really being a valued team member. Dealing with change is a
