Interview Questions
|
Having
a common CV to be applied for any vacancy may not be the
best way of doing it. It is important to have a specific CV
for a specific vacancy. This is because different companies
look for different skills and competencies in candidates
even if the vacancy is for the same vacancy. For instance
one company's expectations from an Accountant might differ
from another. Writing a CV for a specific job is not always
as easy as you might think as it requires some research &
writing skills. First you need to read the vacancy
advertisement thoroughly and understand what the employer is
exactly looking for. Then you need to do some research on
the company where the vacancy exists. You need to analyze
the qualifications, skills and competencies the company is
looking for....
It
is not easy to guess what specific questions will be asked
at an interview. But there are some common questions which
are generally asked by interviewers. Although these
questions my be the same, the best answers for these
questions may be different. Therefore it is important to be
prepared for the suitable answers for these common questions
in the light of the available information about the company,
vacancy and its responsibilities. For instance an
interviewer may ask "how do you get best out of your staff?"
To answer to this question well, you may have to have some
idea about the culture within the company and its management
style. Therefore collect as much information as possible
about the company, vacancy & its responsibilities. Here is a
list of some common questions asked in interviews. We have
not provided you the answers as there are no uniform
answers...
