Interview

If you look for a job, you will be asked some common questions by your future boss. Here are some hints for you. The most asked question on the interview is “Tell me about yourself”. Don't tell your life story, the interviewer is interested in your education first of all.

“Why do you want this job? ” If I were you, I would tell about the organization (shop, cafe, or restaurant), its customers, its products … as much as possible.

“What are your expectations (about salary)? ” This question is always a tricky one and a dangerous game to play in an interview. It is a common mistake to discuss salary before you are hired. If you know about the salary from the ad (advertisement), you will have an opportunity to tell a little bit higher.

“Do you have any questions for us? ” It is the best time to ask about your future work hours and holidays or vacation, the possibility to get extra payment, the tips, your responsibilities and rights.

There are some more things about which you can be asked. They are your hobby, your strong and weak points, your attitude to working under pressure, two-three most important for you things in a job. Try to be ready for all these questions? Do your home task.
