As we know, there is no second chance to make a first impression, which is especially worth remembering when applying for a new job.
Below you will find the correct answers to the most common questions that a potential employer may ask, as well as what not to say.
Tell us about yourself?
As soon as you hear such a proposal, without thinking, list all your merits and achievements. You should speak calmly, confidently, briefly and clearly.
You should not worry too much or answer the question with an exaggerated indifference. A formal and dry retelling of your biography, confusion in simple facts and excessive verbosity are also not welcome.
What is attractive about this position?
This question is worth resorting to specific facts. You should make it clear to the potential interviewer that this is the position where you will be able to realize your abilities, knowledge, and experience, and the company, in turn, will acquire an irreplaceable employee in you.
Phrases like “I’m attracted to interesting work” and “I like the salary offered” won’t work.
Why are you worthy of this position?
Throw away unnecessary modesty – once again voice information about your education and work experience, and also talk about successfully completed projects.
You shouldn't admit that you have no experience, but have a great desire, just as you shouldn't say that the employer can find the necessary information in your resume.
