Sample Interview Questions for practice by job seekers, hiring managers, employers and recruiters.

Use these examples of common questions used during interviews to practice your interviewing skills. You can write out your answer, leave it here as a comment, or practice with a friend or colleague.

What irritates you about co-workers?

This is a trap question. Think "real hard" but fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great.

Use these examples of common questions used during interviews to practice your Networking Interviews. You can write out your answer, leave it here as a comment, or practice with a friend or colleague.

How successful do you think you've been so far?

Say that, all-in-all, you're happy with the way your career has progressed so far. Given the normal ups and downs of life, you feel that you've done quite well and have no complaints.

Present a positive and confident picture of yourself, but don't overstate your case. An answer like, "Everything's wonderful! I can't think of a time when things were going better! I'm overjoyed!" is likely to make an interviewer wonder whether you're trying to fool him . . . or yourself. The most convincing confidence is usually quiet confidence.

Exploring Your Passion Workshop

Scottsdale Job Network

Passions Workshop Rescheduled

Job seeker Seminar - Finding Your Passion

Putting it to Work.

Join us on Tuesday May 27, 2008 for a special workshop for job seekers titled "Exploring Your Passion Putting It To Work"

NOTE: THE DATE FOR THIS WORKSHOP WAS RECENTLY CHANGED FROM TUES, APR 29, 2008.

NEW DATE: TUES, MAY 27

9 AM - 4 PM at Temple Chai

4645 E. Marilyn Road

Phoenix, AZ 85032-4839

Description

Do you love what you do? If youre one of those lucky ones who can answer a resounding Yes! to this question, then this seminar is not for you. But, if youre not, then youve probably asked yourself if theres a job or career out there thats a better match than what youve experienced - one that can be more satisfying and have more meaning in your life - and how you might go about finding it.

This workshop is designed to help people who have asked themselves those questions. Job seekers often limit themselves to what they have always done because it was the career that defined them for many years. They tend to lose sight of their many gifts, interests, strengths, and wealth of skills developed through life experience. This workshop utilizes proven tools to help individuals identify their strengths, talents and preferences - what theyre basically good at and really enjoy doing, and can prove to be useful in opening up job search options.

Presenter
