The art of acing an interview is to be prepared. These practice interview questions will help you prepare and build your confidence for the interview. Or, if you are an employer, you can add these to your arsenal of questions to ask candidates.
The questions below have been compiled from top business executives from around the country. These are questions used by the top business and thought leaders that I know and are categorized based on what potential employers may be trying to determine through the interview process.
Social Awareness/Empathy:
* What do you think we expect most from someone in your job? How do you do on those things?
Relationship Management/Influence:
* Describe your basic leadership style with examples of how you practice it?
Relationship Management/Inspirational Leadership:
* How do you approach setting direction for your team?
* What's your favorite activity for team building?
Relationship Management/Conflict Management:
* Tell me about a time you disagreed with someone?
* What do you do when people are at each others throats?
* Tell me about a time when you had to work with someone that you didn't like particularly and how did you handle it?
Character Assessment/Leadership:
* Looking for patterns - where they involved, did they lead something? Leaders can be trained, but instinct, drive and initiative are instilled early on.
* What were your favorite things to do as a kid?
* How did you spend your summers?
* How would you describe your college years?
* What do you do outside of work?
* Where do you see yourself in five years?
* What motivates you?
Character Assessment/Interests and Passions:
* Looking for patterns - do they like to pursue new things, do they have a curious nature, are they passionate and enthusiastic.
* Last non business book you read (and last you would recommend - they may not be the same)?
* What's the craziest or most spontaneous thing you've ever done?
* In your 'out of the office' time, what are three things you're really passionate about?
* What do you do outside of work?
* What are your hobbies?
* What have you done recently for fun?
* What do you enjoy doing?
* What are you now interested in pursuing?
Always remember that being prepared will make you much more confident during an interview. By practicing your responses to the above interview questions you will master your interviewing skills - you will have well thought out answers, you won't be caught off guard, and this will allow you to shine and ultimately get the job offer. Good luck to you all.
