Interview Questions

The interview process is a critical component of landing a good job. You should be able to demonstrate your ability to navigate life and show your ability to make good personal decisions.

Here are some sample questions to consider.

• Describe a situation in which you had to use your communication skills in presenting complex information. How did you determine whether your message was received?
• Share with me an example of an important personal goal that you set, and explain how you accomplished it.
• Lead me through a decision-making process on a major project you’ve completed.
• Have you ever had many different tasks given to you at the same time? How did you manage these?
• Give an example of a time you had to make a difficult decision.

Assignment: Write your answers to these questions in a Google Doc and submit it for your daily grade. Think about your answers. This will probably not be the last time you'll be asked these questions or ones which are very similar. Get prepared now. Good answers can be the difference between getting a good job or having your application tossed in the trash.
