I came across these sample interview questions and wanted to share them with you.
For high-stress jobs, such as a senior management position:
“Can you tell me about a stressful experience you faced at work recently and how you handled it?”
For jobs where teamwork is important (isn’t that most jobs?):
“Can you tell me about a time when you had to work with someone whose personality was very different than yours?”
For jobs that are client-facing, such as a sales position:
“Describe a time when making a good impression on a client was particularly important. How did you prepare, and what did you do to impress them?”
For jobs that involve problem-solving and customer service, such as an IT professional:
“Tell me about your experience with high volumes of requests. How have you managed this in the past while still providing a friendly and helpful service?”
How would you respond to these questions? Would you be able to provide strong and thoughtful answers?
Is writing a job application or preparing for an interview stressful?
Want some advice and assistance?
