面试常问的问题
Mary: John, hi. Sit down, make yourself comfortable. John, tell me, you're already an office manager in a medium-
sized finance company, why do you want to come and work here?
John: Well, I don't know how much you know but the company have been having some problems. quite a few staff have
been laid off actually
Mary: … right…
John: … and although my job isn't immediately under threat, you just can't tell I'm not sure what the future will
hold and, in any case, I felt that it was time to start moving up the career ladder. And I feel I want a little bit
more responsibility. And that combined with the state of the company, convinced me that it's time to move on,
really.
So let us suppose you had moved up the ladder in our pharmaceutical company, what would be your priorities in
approaching your job.
The first would be to make sure that I had the support of the people working underneath me. The second would be to
make sure my immediate boss also understands the role that I was trying to play within the company and third, would
be to make sure that the customers were satisfied.
F: … there's always the classic one of why do you want to come and work for this company?
M : I guess "give an example of when you've been innovative, give an example of when you've been faced with a big
challenge.
F: I often ask the person what their strengths are . And I also ask them to tell me about the things that they would
like to change about themselves.
