In fact, "be prepared" is one of the best tips for interviews there is. There's no substitute for doing some research and thinking through answers to interview questions. That'll stand you in good stead at the interview, differentiate yourself from all other candidates being interviewed and help land a job offer from that employer.
The biggest benefit of being prepared is that you'll be very confident when answering any question. And the confidence you radiate is an important factor in a successful job hunt.
Let's get right down to the interview questions.
* Tell me about yourself. (Most people dread this question from the interviewer. You'll learn to love it -- especially after you read more about how to answer this question when being interviewed, which info is at the foregoing link.)
* What's your biggest accomplishment so far? (Be ready with a specific example for this interview question.)
* Why should I hire you? (Good question. Tip - it's a great opportunity for you.)
* How do you handle a job that's very stressful?
* Why do you think you will fit in with the company culture? (Research the company, the position you're applying for, etc before the interviews.)
* How do you define success? Are you now successful?
* Why do you want a job here instead of with our competitor, XYZ Inc?
* Do you work better on your own or as part of a team?
* How do you handle it if your boss criticizes you about your work?
* Have you ever lost your job? Why?
* What will you do if you have a serious difference of opinion with your immediate superior?
* What have you accomplished in the last five years?
Consider these questions and possible answers seriously for your interviews. Preparing your answers is what will distinguish you from other candidates and get you the job offer.
