Unit 13 Recruitment and selection in business P5
In this task I will be carrying out before I attend my interview, I will be needing to study questions
that possibly be asked
Specific things to ALWAYS DO, if possible: 1. Study the questions to be asked before beginning the
interview. 2. Be polite - act naturally. 3. Complete the interview at one sitting. 4. Use an introduction
and explanation of purpose. 5. Write the answers legibly on your form. 6. Record every answer in the
correct place. 7. Repeat the question if needed. 8. Accept a refusal graciously if the teacher can’t
work on this project with you. Consider someone else and schedule another interview. 9. Check the
interview form before closing the interview to see that all answers are
1. What can you tell me about yourself?
2. Can you list your strengths?
3. What weaknesses do you have?
4. Why should I consider hiring you?
5. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
6. Why do you want to work here?
7. What is your salary expectation?
8. What motivates you?
9. What makes a good team player?
10. Is there anything that you would like to ask me?
It is fair to say that you might not be asked every one of these questions at an interview. You may
even be asked other, more bizarre ones, like 'if you were an animal, which would you be?'
Such questions are designed to see how good you are at thinking on your feet so you cannot truly
prepare for them. Just relax and say something sensible. For the other common interview
questions, consider how you might answer them before you get face-to-face.
1. What can you tell me about yourself?
Talk about yourself in summary and avoid rambling. Your detailed work history can be found on your
CV, after all, so focus on elements that you want to highlight rather than going through everything.
