Question 8    Aren’t you overqualified for this position? TRAPS:   The employer may be concerned that you’ll grow dissatisfied and leave. BEST ANSWER:   As with any objection, don’t view this as a sign of imminent defeat.  It’s an invitation to teach the interviewer a new way to think about this situation, seeing advantages instead of drawbacks. Example:   “I recognize the job market for what it is – a marketplace.  Like any marketplace, it’s subject to the laws of supply and demand.  So ‘overqualified’ can be a relative term, depending on how tight the job market is.  And right now, it’s very tight.  I understand and accept that.” “I also believe that there could be very positive benefits for both of us in this match.” “Because of my unusually strong experience in ________________ , I could start to contribute right away, perhaps much faster than someone who’d have to be brought along more slowly.” “There’s also the value of ...

Question 6:   The “Silent Treatment” TRAPS:   Beware – if you are unprepared for this question, you will probably not handle it right and possibly blow the interview.   Thank goodness most interviewers don’t employ it.   It’s normally used by those determined to see how you respond under stress.   Here’s how it works: You answer an interviewer’s question and then, instead of asking another, he just stares at you in a deafening silence. You wait, growing a bit uneasy, and there he sits, silent as Mt. Rushmore, as if he doesn’t believe what you’ve just said, or perhaps making you feel that you’ve unwittingly violated some cardinal rule of interview etiquette. When you get this silent treatment after answering a particularly difficult question , such as “tell me about your weaknesses”, its intimidating effect can be most disquieting, even to polished job hunters. Most unprepared candidates rush in to fill the void of silence, viewing pro...

Question 5  :- Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position?           TRAPS:   Never badmouth your previous industry, company, board, boss, staff, employees or customers.   This rule is inviolable:   never be negative.   Any mud you hurl will only soil your suit. Especially avoid words like “personality clash”, “didn’t get along”, or others which cast a shadow on your competence, integrity, or temperament. BEST ANSWER: (If you have a job presently) If you’re not yet 100% committed to leaving your present post, don’t be afraid to say so.   Since you have a job, you are in a stronger position than someone who does not.   But don’t be coy either.   State honestly what you’d be hoping to find in a new spot.   Of course, as stated often before, you answer will all the stronger if you have already uncovered what this position is all about and you match your desires to it. (If you do not p...

Question 4     : Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that you now feel a little ashamed of. TRAPS:   There are some questions your interviewer has no business asking, and this is one.  But while you may feel like answering, “none of your business,” naturally you can’t.  Some interviewers ask this question on the chance you admit to something, but if not, at least they’ll see how you think on your feet. Some unprepared candidates, flustered by this question, unburden themselves of guilt from their personal life or career, perhaps expressing regrets regarding a parent, spouse, child, etc.  All such answers can be disastrous. BEST ANSWER:  As with faults and weaknesses, never confess a regret.  But don’t seem as if you’re stonewalling either. Best strategy:   Say you harbor no regrets, then add a principle or habit you practice regularly for healthy human relations. Example:   Pause for reflection, as if the ques...

Question 3                          What are your greatest weaknesses? TRAPS:   Beware - this is an eliminator question, designed to shorten the candidate list. Any admission of a weakness or fault will earn you an “A” for honesty, but an “F” for the interview. PASSABLE ANSWER:   Disguise a strength as a weakness. Example: “I sometimes push my people too hard.  I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is not always on the same wavelength.” Drawback:   This strategy is better than admitting a flaw, but it's so widely used, it is transparent to any experienced interviewer. BEST ANSWER:   (and another reason it's so important to get a thorough description of your interviewer's needs before you answer questions): Assure the interviewer that you can think of nothing that would stand in the way of your performing in this position with excellence. Then, quickly review you stronges...

Question 2:             What are your greatest strengths? TRAPS:   This question seems like a softball lob, but be prepared. You don't want to come across as egotistical or arrogant. Neither is this a time to be humble.   BEST ANSWER:   You know that your key strategy is to first uncover your interviewer's greatest wants and needs before you answer questions. And from Question 1, you know how to do this. Prior to any interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest strengths. You should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each strength, an example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements.
