The Best-Prepared Candidate. The applicant who invested most preinterview time in learning about the employer has a big advantage
over the rest. It is useful to know which business issues (e.g. aging
client base, lack of infra-structure, or global competition) the company
is up against, so as to be ready to talk about personal input in those
areas.
The Most Self-Aware Candidate is frank about his areas of proficiency
and equally frank about subjects where he lacks knowledge, but is
eager to learn. He is the opposite of the annoying candidate who is an
expert in all possible subjects.
The Most Intellectually Curious Candidate. Interviewers want to answer
smart, insightful business questions on current trends in the
industry and the competition's impact on next quarter's sales. The
hireable applicant asks thoughtful questions about the job and the
organization.
The candidate who has prepared professional references, who expresses
a positive attitude, adapts the speech to the audience, gives specific
examples for illustrating personal professional background, and is
prepared to transform his strengths in benefits for the company he is
applying for.
Techniques of addressing others, of expressing personal points of
view, strategies for solving problems, displaying work experience and
conducting dialogues can be learnt and prac-tised, therefore the success
of an interview lies in preparation, in constructive self criticism and in
constantly monitoring the personal progress. Interlocutors generally tend
to be tolerant towards certain foreign language errors but when it comes
to mistakes in meaning, in addressing the others, or in complying with
the culture-bound traditions and standards of politeness, the dialogue
ceases.
There are as many different possible interview questions as there
are interviewers, so here is a list of 100 more potential interview
questions.
