To better prepare answers and questions for your interview, it is best to evaluate the company, the position, the responsibilities and your own interests. Take into consideration the level of experience required. Is it an entry level, mid-career, management or executive position? Are you qualified for the position based on your experience or education? The best way to determine what questions should be asked during your interview, is to identify information required to make your decision before accepting an offer. What do you want and for what do you qualify?

Here are factors to consider when applying and interviewing for a new position:

тЂў Is the position in your field of expertise or industry?

тЂў Are you changing industries? If so, are your skills easily transferred into the new position?

тЂў Is the location acceptable based on your current lifestyle, i.e., childcare or transportation?

тЂў Is growth important to you and if so, is this a possibility for you with this company?

тЂў What healthcare and financial benefits are crucial to you?

тЂў Do you know the salary range for the position and does it meet your needs/requirements?

These are 5 examples of questions you may be asked in an interview:

тЂў Why are you leaving your current position? Why did you leave your last position?

тЂў Why should I hire you? What makes you a better candidate compared to the others?

тЂў How does your experience qualify you for our vacancy?

тЂў What are your strengths and weaknesses?

тЂў How well do you adapt to change?

Five interview questions for you to consider asking:

тЂў How did this position become available?

тЂў What accomplishments would you like to see within this role?

тЂў When would you ideally like to have the position filled?

тЂў How long has this position been open?

тЂў When can I expect to hear back from you?

There will always be a chance a recruiter or hiring manager will ask questions you"re not prepared to answer. Don"t panic. Remain calm and give your best possible answer. Interviews can be nerve wrecking, but they don"t have to be disastrous. Your appearance, grooming, attire, communication skills, eye contact and punctuality all factor in how you will be perceived. Once in the actual interview, remain confident while conversing. Asking good interview questions shows preparation, interest in the position and/or company and that you"ve done your homework. Usually you will be asked questions first and then given the opportunity to ask your own questions. Never reply you don"t have any questions unless they were answered during the overview process. Good luck and stay encouraged.
