I recently celebrated my 6th year anniversary as an employee in the company that I am currently connected with. And what is the best way of celebrating it? By having my very first interview assignment!
Six years ago, I experienced the same dilemma that every job applicant has to experience — the one-on-one interview that will make you or break you for the job the you are wanting to achieve. The job interview is just one the keys to enter a potential company. This may put you to continue or end your job hunting career. Well, if you still don't know, a job interview is the first supervisor-subordinate relationship that you will encounter once you decided to apply for a position. This is where you build and establish your working relationship with others.
Six years and several paper works later, I was promoted by the company for a bigger opportunity and responsibility. I became a supervisor, which in turn, will become a part of the several interviews that a potential applicant in our company can encounter, well at least in our department.
Before I landed on my current job and position in the company, I too, underwent several job interviews with not just one, but to a lot of different companies and nature of work. I have talked to different company honchos and big wigs. I was also one of those people who fearlessly face the job interviews in several different companies everywhere.
Yes, at first, I was nervous facing each interviewer, but several succeeding interviews later, I got tired of being nervous and focus myself on being awesome instead. Somehow, becoming awesome to different interviews lets you show the "real" you — and that's what most companies are looking for!
Becoming awesome to several interviews does not mean you have to tell stories that are ridiculously unbelievable. Sometimes, a relaxed self, a focused mind, a courageous heart, and a happy disposition are the only weapons that you need to in facing the battle for a most desired position in a company
I never thought that one day, I will be the one who is conducting the interview. But I always picture myself doing the interview to potential applicants, however, it never really happened to me until my 6th year anniversary in the company that I am connected with. I guess patience really is a virtue. It is my life-long dream actually to be the one who will be conducting the interview.
The experiences that I have encountered in several interviews in the past lead me on reflecting the different job interview questions that I have encountered since this time, I will be doing the interview, I should remember the questions that were asked to me.
And so I returned in time and caught a glimpse of me during one interview in another company. But this time, I did not focus on myself rather, I was focused with the interviewer. I listed down the questions that the interviewer was asking me, thus the list of common job interview questions below was born.
So before kicking yourself and drag your way to a company for the job interview that you wanting to have, you might want to review first the following common job interview questions and think of the proper answer/s for each question. Happy job hunting!

A long came an interview

It was short but a bit funny, we were actually laughing while she was interviewing me. Interviews come in different forms. I was just so lucky that my interview went well, I ended up getting the writing job.Six years and several paper works later, I was promoted by the company for a bigger opportunity and responsibility. I became a supervisor, which in turn, will become a part of the several interviews that a potential applicant in our company can encounter, well at least in our department.
