Sample Job Interview Question #1: What do you know about our company?

This question is usually asked in the beginning stages of the interview process. To prepare for this question, you'll want to research as much as you can about the company beforehand. You can search for information in the most obvious place - the web or call the company ahead of time and request a company brochure. The things that you'll want to zero in may include; the industry, their length of time in business, their annual sales figures (if it's a public company) and, their corporate culture.

Sample Job Interview Question #2: What are your strengths?

Many people have trouble with this question because we're trained from way back in elementary school to work on our weaknesses and so they find it hard to even identify their strengths. Also, many of us grew up being told that it's not proper to boast about ourselves. So for this question, be prepared with at least 3 key strengths that relate back to the job posting. An example would be the following, "I have many strengths that I think you'll find valuable, however I will highlight 3 specific strengths that relate to what I believe you are looking for. First, I have excellent rapport building skills and during the last 3 years I have developed a number of key accounts to the point where I am now their exclusive supplier. Second, I grew my territory by 30% in the last twelve months, etc."

Sample Job Interview Question #3: What are your weaknesses?

This question can be a tricky one but you can answer it honestly so long as you are able to describe how you counter your weakness and keep it from being a barrier to your success and the success of the company. Your answer may include that you ask for input or feedback from other colleagues or staff members. It's really important to be prepared for this question, many people are stumped by it. Think it through before hand and imagine how the interview might perceive your answer. Make sure it is positive and ultimately demonstrates your value to the organization.
