Hello Forumites! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'm currently preparing for an upcoming job interview, which I know expect will involve several what I would term "general" questions. Things like "Tell us about a time you had to deal with a difficult colleague", or "Tell us about a time when you had to resolve something.". I've come up with a few others, such as "...when you had to change your mind about something", "examples of team work", "organised something" and "planned your time effectively". Has anyone got any other suggestions for questions that I might be able to prepare? Without giving too much away, it's a science industry job, and I've never had an interview for a job like that before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

At a recent interview my daughter was asked ' what would your friends say are your three best points? and your three worst?'
