A) Match the interview questions to the correct answers (two questions remain unanswered):
1. What do you like least about your current job?
2. Why are you looking for another job?
3. What motivates you?
4. How do you respond to authority?
( ) As Ive decided that I want to work only for a
top-flight graduate trainee programme, Im
applying to about a dozen companies, mostly in
fast-moving consumer goods and retail. What
all of these companies have in common is they
are all leaders in their fields with good brands
and reputations for developing good managers.
( ) Ive just started a diploma course in marketing
and sales management. It will take me two
years to complete, but Im confident that it will
allow me to be more effective in what I do.
( ) I like to know that my work is making a
difference and to be surrounded by other bright
people who are also committed to the same
goals. For example, in my current role, we
launched a new fund-raising initiative and I got
such a buzz from thinking through how we could
make it happen.
(Questions and answers taken from How to Succeed at Interviews, by Dr. Rob Yeung.)
B) Complete the crossword puzzle using the clues given.
5. What have you done recently to develop yourself?
6. How many other jobs are you applying for?
7. What is your greatest strength?
8. What is your greatest weakness?
( ) I spend most of my time visiting clients at their
offices. However, it continually irritates me
that we dont have the facility to log on to the
server remotely from our laptop computers. I
have tried to convince the IT manager that we
need to upgrade our system, but he says that
we wont have the budget until next year.
( ) Ive had a great time with my company. But I
have ambitions and realise that I can do more. I
want to feel more stretched and so this new,
bigger role is exactly what I feel I need.
( ) I know that I can get frustrated very quickly
when people dont make decisions. However,
now that I am aware of it, I try to remember
that colleagues may need time to think
something through before giving me an answer.
