Interview Question Top

The interview questions that we are going to review here are the one usually asked about special issues:
Interview Question Top :
Are you eighteen years old or older?
Companies who hire individuals at or under eighteen years of age may be required to obtain special permits for their employment. It is therefore acceptable for employers to ask if you are older than eighteen.
Interview Question Top :
Do you speak any foreign languages?
If you do, then this is the time to talk about this skill as an asset. If you took Spanish or French in school but cannot remember more than two or three phrases, simply mention that you understand the language better than you speak it. If not, then demonstrate your willingness to extend your current capabilities with additional training if necessary or beneficial.
Interview Question Top :
Are you licensed to drive?
This is a legal question and may be asked. The real concern for the interviewer is your ability to commute to work. If you do not drive, reassure the interviewer that you have a reliable means of transportation.
Interview Question Top :
Does the frequent travel required for this work fit into your lifestyle?
Offer what you're comfortable divulging about your family situation if it helps prove your flexibility. By all means, don't be dishonest with yourself or the interviewer. Your response should be consistent with the demands of the position you're currently applying for, while reflecting a realistic understanding of the work and time required.
Interview Question Top :
Have you ever had a driver's license revoked? Why?
If no, then the answer is simple. If yes, hopefully the circumstances that led to such an occurrence are long in your past. Your best answer is to think carefully about your own personal situation, and find a way to present it in the most positive light.
Interview Question Top :
Have you ever required a long sick leave or extended vacation from work?
Provide a candid answer and explain any unique situations. Try to demonstrate convincingly that you are interested in this company for the long haul and do not anticipate that anything will prevent you from becoming a reliable employee if hired.
Interview Question Top :
What sports do you actively participate in?
The interviewer may be wondering if you keep yourself in good shape and are healthy. They may even make a job offer contingent on your passing a physical examination.
Interview Question Top :
Do you stay physically in shape?
Many employers ask potential employees to take a medical examination and offer membership at health spas to help maintain good health. Focus on your awareness of taking care of yourself in a variety of ways. It might also be beneficial to find out what sports other employees are involved in and express interest in joining them.
Interview Question Top :
Are you willing to relocate?
If you are, then tell the interviewer. Be diplomatic, but truthful. Express your interest in living elsewhere and experiencing a different lifestyle, while meeting new people. If you are not willing to relocate, then you should let the employer know now.
Interview Question Top :
If this position required that you move to a different city, would you be willing to do so?
Initially you may want to be vague in your answer and indicate that you are willing to consider it. Later on in the negotiating process, it this doesn't appeal to you, you may want to restate your requirements.
Interview Question Top :
Would you submit to a physical or medical checkup before starting this position?
This is a normal procedure for many companies. If it a problem for you, let the employer know at the outset. Otherwise, briefly consent to the request.
Interview Question Top :
Have you ever been refused a bond?
If not, then answer "No." If yes, respond carefully with the reason and what has changed in your personal life since that time. Explain the situation briefly and sincerely.
Interview Question Top :
Do you have any physical problems that may limit your ability to perform this job?
This is a perfectly legitimate question for the interviewer to ask. So answer truthfully. Remember though, the key words are "ability to perform this job." A physical problem that is not job-related is not pertinent, and none of the employer's business.
