Some employers will ask you
questions like “tell

seeking. Write it down and practice, practice, practice!

Other employers will ask you
behavioral questions – Looking for examples of times when you have done things
like you’ll do on the job. For example,
“Tell me about
how you’ve coached another person to become more successful.”,
“Give me an example of what you have done to earn others’ trust?”
o
Then, think about your
responses and the key points that you want to make. Think about your past jobs,
experiences, and achievements. Be direct and be honest. Don’t “fake-it” or
exaggerate – Give examples from your past work experiences that specifically
tell:
·
What you did
·
How you did it
·
What was your results

When asked a question, if
you have a blank stare and make no response, you will not make a favorable
impression

positive attitude.

question in a positive way? “Describe the most
difficult person that you have worked with”? “Why”?
