Interview Questions and Answers
- Tell me about yourself.
Try starting out by sharing some personal interests which don't relate directly to your work. Be ready to share three or four of the personal qualities, skills and/or areas of expertise which would help you to excel in the job for which you are interviewing. Ultimately, you will want to share several other strengths before the interview is over.
- Describe your work style
When you are asked about how you work during an interview, it's important to impress the interviewer with your comptentency and accuracy, rather than just your speed.
- What did you like or dislike about your previous job?
When you're asked what didn't like about your previous job, don't be too negative. The reason is that you don't want the interviewer to think that you'll speak negatively about the new job or the company when you're ready to move on, if you get this job.
- Describe your ideal boss
When the interviewer asks about what your ideal boss is like, it could be asked as a reflection upon your past supervisors (who was your best or worst boss) or in terms of your future preferences.
- Why were you fired?
Practice in advance what you'll say. Then keep it brief, keep it honest and keep it moving.That way, you'll get past the sticky issue of getting fired and can move on to your skills and why you're qualified for the job.
- Why should we hire you instead of the other applicants for the job?Why are you the best person for the job?
“What makes you the best fit for this position?” Your answer to this question should be a concise “sales pitch” that explains what you have to offer the employer.The best way to respond is to give concrete examples of why your skills and accomplishments make you the best candidate for the job.
- What will you do if you don't get this position?
The interviewer wants to know whether you are concerned about just the advancement opportunity or the company.

The family man: job interview
Peter: Alan this is Jack Campbell, the one i was telling you about
Alan: Oh, of course Jack, Hi
Jack: Mr Vance
Alan: Oh, Just call me Alan we like to cultivate a very casual atmosphere around here
Jack: I can see that Alan
A: Yes what can I tell you, do you have kids?
J: Actually, Yes. Two of them, good ones
A: Great, great. Why don’t you have a seat? Peter mentioned to me that you’re an avid CNBC watcher but he didn’t say whether you had some actual Wall Street Experience
J: Erm. I was a sales associate at EFOA: A broker, really? And now you’re in the tyre business
J: That’s right. And auto supply
A: In the retail end I understand
J: We get about 60% of our business from automotive service
A: And do you mind me asking what kind of sales you did in the last year, just erm, ballpark
J: We did 1.7 total revenue
A: One point seven...that’s great, and what do you project for this year?
J: I think we’re gonna have a better year, sales are up almost twenty per cent in the first quarter, and we just landed a major trucking company account
A: Oh you did? That’s terrific so that puts you just a tad over two million?
J: That’s right, and that would make us number one in our market. Excuse me, I’m gonna get a glass of water ... Look, I know our paltry little 2 million on sales is about what you spend in a year on office supplies, and some regional trucking company is nothing compared to a multibillion dollar merger
A: No no no, I’m not trying to mock the tyre business
J: It’s okay Alan, I get it. I’m in your shoes I’m thinking exactly the same thing but here’s the deal, business is business; Wall Street, Main Street it’s all just a bunch of people getting up in the morning trying to figure out how they’re gonna send their kids to college, it’s just people. And I know people
A: Oh, I’m sure you do
J: Take you for instance, Alan. You have certain energy about you, it’s an active kind of energy. I wouldn’t be surprised if you drank about sixteen diet cokes a day. You’re an excellent father, but you feel guilty about the time you spend away from home. You drink Bourbon, but you offer your clients scotch, and your wife decorated this office.
P: Haha, certainly seems to have your number
J: You’re a little tougher Peter. For one thing, you like expensive things
Peter: That’s easy, you’ve seen my car
J: You smoke Hoyo de Monterrey’s. You’re a scotch man, single malt. Not because its trendy but because you’ve been doing it the last four years and you like to stay with what works. You have two great loves in your life; your horses and this company. And you’re a man who prides himself in finding talent in unusual places
P: How would you know that?
J: Because I’m here, and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get this job. I’ll start wherever I have to start, I’ll park cars if I have to, the biggest part of judging character is knowing yourself and I know this: I can do this Job, I can. Give me a chance Peter, I won’t let you down
Alan: Oh, of course Jack, Hi
Jack: Mr Vance

Laura López Perdiguero
Dear Madame:
I am writing because I would like to apply for a post as interior designer in your architecture firm.
My father is an architect who belongs to the field of the design. He always used to show us his designs and were delighted to see them, that was the reasion why I started to be interested in that career, which was what I liked the most.
I am 18 years old and this year I will finish the High School. After summer, I´m going to go to the University for studying interior design. I am looking fowqard to beginning.
The job would help me, without any doubt as experience for my career and for my future too.
I am from Madrid (Spain) but I wouldn´t find any problem to work in Bristol, at the same time my english would improve, it would be great!
I agree with the salary, despite the fact I perfectly know that it would be a temporal job for just only three months, I wouldn´t mind.
I eagerly hope your answer.
Sincerely yours
Monday 19 January 2015
