    6 deadly interview questions

    One of the easiest ways to build confidence before
    a job interview is to prepare answers to questions
    you might be asked. Whether you're applying for a
    position as a web programmer, accountant, manager etc
    Interviewers often use some general questions
    to assess candidates, so you'll increase your chances for
    success if you prepare for them in advance.


    six common questions are listed below. As part of
    your interview preparation, take the time to formulate
    answers to each question, focusing on specific tasks
    and accomplishments.



    1. What are your strengths and weaknesses?


    This is one of the most well-known interview questions
    and interviewers often ask it indirectly, as in,
    What did your most recent boss suggest as areas for
    improvement in your last performance review?"



    I suggests tailoring your "strengths" answer
    to skills that will benefit the prospective employer
    how you have improved and specifics on what
    you have done to improve yourself in those areas.



    2. Why did you leave your last Job ?


    Be prepared to tell the truth, without
    speaking negatively about past employment."



    3. Can you describe a previous work situation in which you ... ?"


    This question comes in many forms, but what the
    interviewer is looking for is your behavior on the job.
    Your answer could focus on resolving a crisis, overcoming
    a negotiation deadlock, handling problem with coworker
    or juggling multiple tasks on a project.



    4.What is your ideal work environment?"


    This question is not about whether you prefer
    a cubicle or an office,so think broadly to include
    ideas about supervision, management styles,
    and your workday routine.



    5.How do you handle mistakes?"


    The best strategy for this general question is to
    focus on one or two specific examples in the past and
    if possible, highlight resolutions or actions that might
    have relevance to the job you're interviewing for.


    Employers want to know they're hiring someone
    with the maturity to accept responsibility and the
    wherewithal to remedy their own mistakes


    6.What is your most notable accomplishment?"



    Being able to quantify your achievements in
    your career will launch you ahead of the rest
    and demonstrate your ability to do the same
    as a future employee."
