This month:
Tough Interview Questions
Difficult questions you will want to know the answers to:
- How would a fellow co-worker summarize your major strengths? Weaknesses?
Think about where your strength can become a weakness and what you do to guard against that.
- If I hired you tell me what your three priorities would be when you joined our firm?
- What are you passionate about?
- Of all the jobs you have held where do you feel you have made the most impact and why?
- Give me a specific example of when you saw a problem and solved it without help from anyone?
- I am looking for someone with initiative. . . . Can you prove to me that you are the right person for the job?
- What is the biggest mistake you have made in your career? What did you learn from it?
- What is the one non-work related accomplishment you are most proud of and why?
- What are your long term career goals? How would a job here fit into them?
- What important thing about you should I know that is not on your resume?
- Do you think you would fit in here? Why?
- Who is the best boss you ever had and what did you learn from him/her?
- What sets you apart from others?
Come back next month for:
"Getting Support for Your Career Search"

You build confidence in your clients and develop their marketing message. When I would say, "I've never worked in communications" you would counter and show me how I have. And CONVINCE me that my work experience actually was relevant.
