面试中常遇的十大陷阱问题

话说美国《福布斯》杂志请人力资源专家总结出了求职面试中可能遇到的十大“跌坑”问题(top 10 most common questions designed to trick you),简单分析了其“坑人”之处,并给出了参考答案。

面试中常遇的十大陷阱问题


Question 1: Why have you been out of work so long, and how many others were laid off?

(Subtext: What's wrong with you?)


Best Answer: "I was an excellent employee who gave more than a day's work for a day's pay."


 

Question 2: If employed, how do you manage time for interviews?

(Subtext: Are you short-changing your current employer?)


Best Answer: "I'm taking personal time and only interview for positions that are a terrific match."


Question 3: How did you prepare for this interview?

(Subtext: How much do you really care about this job?)


Best Answer: "I very much want this job, and of course researched it starting with the company website."


Question 4: Do you know anyone who works for us?

(Subtext: Who might be a good judge of your true character?)


Best Answer: If you do know someone, only mention them by name if you're certain of their positive standing within the organization.

 

Question 5: Where would you really like to work?

(Subtext: Are you applying for every job in sight?)


Best Answer: "This is where I want to work, and this job is what I want to do."


Question 6: What bugs you about coworkers or bosses?

(Subtext: Are you impossible to work with?)


Best Answer: "I can't recall anything in particular. I've been lucky to have good bosses who were knowledgeable and fair and past coworkers who were able, supportive and friendly."


Question 7: Can you describe how you solved a work or school problem?

(Subtext: Can you think critically?)


Best Answer: Highlight an instance that favorably reflects how your mind works and spotlights your skills and achievements. Example: How you solved time management issues in order to take on a special assignment or complicated project.


Question 8: Can you describe a work or school instance in which you messed up?

(Subtext: Do you repeat the same mistakes over and over? Are you too self-important or unaware that you don't see your own failings? Are you so insecure or terrible that you will list out all of your personal flaws?)


Best Answer: Briefly mention a single small, well-intentioned goof and follow up with an important lesson learned from the experience.

 

Question 9: How does this position compare with others you're applying for?

(Subtext: Who else is interested, and what will it take to bring you on board?)


Best Answer: "I respect the privacy of any organization where I interview. Have I found my destination here?"

 

Question 10: If you won the lottery, would you still work?

(Subtext: Are you really a motivated and hard worker?)


Best Answer: "While I'd be thrilled to win the lottery, I would still look for meaningful work because meeting challenges and achieving makes me happy."
