The
usual interview format is pretty much the same. It doesn't matter where
you are which country you're living in. Most of the interview format
aren't the same. So let's start from the beginning. The way it's going
to work is as soon as you go on site or as soon as you pick up the phone
you introduce yourself. If there are more people in the panel everybody
will introduce their self then the hiring manager will actually start
telling you about the company hey david. Thank you so much for coming
in. And we are here at ABC Company we are doing this and this this end
we've been in business for maybe So we are looking for someone who will
come in and actually who is really good in for example documentation
who's really good at helping the person who's really good at this
software. So and so it's pretty much he will go or she'll go we're on
the job description that you probably already have been given
previously. So very quickly summary that hiring manager will go over it
and that's how the typical interview always starts. Now the third thing
that person is going to Cowher or hiring manager will cover is the
actual format. Yes they will. I would say all good at hiring manager
should give you a form that tell you hey this is how the format looks
like we're going to ask you some question back and for some technical
some behavioral question and in the end we're going to give you the
opportunity to ask questions. Fair enough is that good.
#1.Tell Me About Your Self
Then the interview starts the very first thing and most favorite question always a hiring manager starts with is tell me about yourself or tell me your background or tell me how you how have you been working all these years. And tell me your your past experiences all whatever the whatever question that is being asked about that is basically what they're asking you is tell me about your experiences and how do you fit in this role so you use you talk about yourself so take embrace this question take take pride in this and by the way I have covered the specific tell me such as self question in another blog. So this question should not be more than five minutes.
#2.Technical Question
Answer it once that is done then the technical interview starts. You're probably thinking hey I'm not a technical person meaning I'm not in I.T. or anything it's it's not about that. If you're in I.T. then you're probably going to assume more pure technical related question. But regardless if you are in I.T. or not there are technical question I'll give you a few examples of the technical questions like if you're using any tools or software or any application that you're using. If you want an accounting maybe you're using some kind of software right to actually manage the books so they probably ask you hey what's the software that you're using or what's a version. And then there would be like What is the latest book that you have read on Law and Order. If you're going for like that let a law firm or same thing if you want. What do you think or how do you stay up to date with health care environment see also tell me how the internet works. It's very simple basic question.
#3.Scenario Based Question
next start scenario based question. That's that's same question and answer. But I have broken down into three different categories technical scenario and behavioral. So second type of question scenario or situational based question some of the examples are what would you do if a customer said X Y Z. How would you market our ABC product. Tell me about a time you had to make a quick decision or another one. Tell me about a time when you had to act in a leadership capacity. That scenario based question
#4.Behavioral
That scenario based question then moving on to behavioral questions some of the examples are what are your weaknesses. Where do you see yourself in five years. Why are you leaving this job where you are right now. What what is one good thing that you like about this job which which you have applied for. What is your biggest achievement in life. How did you handle difficult situations. These are all behavioral questions. They wanted to know how do you handle these type of questions. So some of those questions I have covered in my other blog as well. So please go ahead if you wanted to pick any specific question you wanted to learn how you should answer. Please check out my readers now after these questions back and forth back and forth. Answer now hiring manager comes to the end
#5.Do You Have Any Questions
The conclusion is all right do you have any questions for us david. Now that's the times you should definitely ask question. Now please make sure asking questions that should be related to the job itself. For example I can give you a quick sample. Hey let's see if I start tomorrow. How how would you say how would you describe my day will look like something like that. So ask question. Make sure you do at least two or three and then of course if you have to add anything to the end. As a high note Hey you know what I think I'm a great fit for it because the person you're looking for I'm the one and I'll get you you'd get the job done. Add that and that's where the actual job the whole job interview ends again. To summarize really quickly the hiring manager will go over company background job description and interview format. Then they ask you tell me about yourself. Then they ask you technical questions are your basic questions situational and behavior question. At the end they will ask you to ask them question and that's where the whole interview.
