Interview Questions About You
Describe a typical work week?
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions.
It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk about non-work related activities that you do on company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how they are often late because they have to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to work at the gym.
Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.") and efficient.
Why were you fired from your previous job
After thinking about why I left, I realize I should have done some things differently. That job was a learning experience and I think I'm wiser now. I'd like the chance to prove that to you.
I wanted my career to move in a different direction, and I guess my mental separation set up the conditions that led to my departure. But by contrast, the opportunity we're discussing seems to be made for me and I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.
Are you overqualified for this job?
Overqualified? Some would say that I'm not overqualified but fully qualified. With due respect, could you explain the problem with someone doing the job better than expected?
Salary is not my top priority. Not that I have a trust fund but I will work for less money, will take direction from managers of any age, will continue to stay current on technology and will not leave you in the lurch if Hollywood calls to make me a star. And I don't insist that it's my way or the highway.
Describe Your Employment History
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to be able to review their work history in detail. Be prepared to tell the interviewer the names of the companies you worked for, your job title, your starting and ending dates of employment, how much you earned and what your job entailed.
You'd be surprised how many job applicants fumble when asked about prior employment. Don't be one of them! Refresh your memory prior to the interview by reviewing your resume, so, you can speak about your prior work history in detail and accurately.
If you don't have a resume, make sure what you tell the interviewer matches what you filled out on your job application. The best way to prepare is to download a sample job application ahead of time. Complete the sample application and bring it with you when you are applying for employment. This way you will be able to copy the information rather than having to remember dates and other employment information.
How do you handle pressure?
Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive.
I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled and doesn't become stressful
Give some examples of teamwork
In high school, I enjoyed playing soccer and performing with the marching band. Each required a different kind of team play, but the overall goal of learning to be a member of a group was invaluable. I continued to grow as team member while on my sorority's debate team and through my advanced marketing class where we had numerous team assignments.
In my last postion, I was part of a software implementation team. We all worked together to plan and manage the implementation schedule, to provide customer training, and ensure a smooth transition for our customers. Our team always completed our projects ahead of schedule with very positive reviews from our clients.
How do you evaluate success?
I evaluate success in different ways. At work, it is meeting the goals set by my supervisors and my fellow workers. It is my understanding, from talking to other employees, that the GGR company is recognized for not only rewarding success, but giving employees opportunity to grow as well. After work, I enjoy playing softball, so success on the field is catching the winning pop-up.
How Do You Handle it if the Boss is Wrong?
"It depends on the situation and the personality of the supervisor." To elaborate, give examples:
My present supervisor does not like to have his authority questioned. He's fairly new on the job and almost all of the people he supervises have been on the job longer than he has. He's never bothered to learn the procedures, how things are done or how the computer system works. But if any of us tell him that how he wants something done won't work, he gets extremely angry. So, I never tell him he's wrong. Never. Whatever he tells me to do, I smile and say "okay." Then if I know a way to get it done that will work, I do it that way, give him the results he wants and never tell him I didn't do it the way he told me to. He got the results and is happy. I saved myself the stress of being yelled at and gave him what he wanted, so I'm happy.
My prior superviser was more easy-going and if I told her "you know, I think it might work better if I do what you asked in such and such a way," she say "okay, try it."
If I were a new hire on a job, I would probably not question a supervisor because I might think I didn't know enough. Except on the new job I'm going to. The director has admitted that she's new on the job and there are alot of things that a secretary does that she doesn't know how to do, so she will be depending on me to know how to keep the office running.
Tell Me About Yourself
You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? "Tell me about yourself."
Do you "wing it" and actually tell all manner of things about yourself? Will you spend the next 5 minutes rambling on about what an easy-going, loyal, dedicated, hard working employee you've been? If this is the case, you stand a good chance of having bored your interviewer to death thus creating a negative first impression.
Because it's such a common interview question, it's strange that more candidates don't spend the time to prepare for exactly how to answer it. Perhaps because the question seems so disarming and informal, we drop our guard and shift into ramble mode. Resist all temptation to do so.
Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.
Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Give them "your synopsis about you" answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: "I'm a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer's name) during the past 11 years."
What a difference you've made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: "I'd like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you." The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.
Be Specific
The key is that you must lead with your strongest benefit to the employer. Be specific and don't wander about with some laundry list of skills or talents. Be sure to put a monetary value on your work if at all possible and be ready with details when you're called upon. Give an estimated value to the $$ you've either helped to make or save for your employer.
Be Prepared
When you walk into an interview, remember to always expect the "tell me about yourself" question. Prepare ahead of time by developing your own personal branding statement that clearly tells who you are, your major strength and the clear benefit that your employer received. The advantages of this approach are that you'll quickly gain their attention and interest them in knowing more. You'll separate yourself from your competitors. You'll also have a higher chance of being positively remembered and hired.

Finding Legitimate Telecommuting Jobs
Working at home online would be a lot easier if it weren’t for the thousands of scams that must be waded through before finding the legitimate telecommuting jobs! Still, it is not impossible to do with a little bit of patience and a whole lot of awareness and determination on the part of the job seeker.
The good news is that the majority of scams reveal their true nature within moments. For example, the moment they ask for money, a red flag should be raised. Legitimate employers simply will not demand money from their employees. Keeping this one point in mind can often be a great help to telecommuting job seekers, because they can instantly avoid schemes that cost money.
However, there are also other important considerations, like the fact that not all scammers will go after your wallet in such obvious ways. They may also try to get your social security number, bank account information, access to your Paypal account, or other sensitive information.
This can make applying for telecommuting jobs incredibly challenging because legitimate employers will also need some of this information if they decide to hire you.
So, how can you tell when you’re dealing with a scammer or a legitimate employer?
The best way to find out is by doing some research online. Most often you’ll be able to uncover information that will clearly show whether a company is legitimate or not.
Here are a few things you can look for:
1)First, search the company name and the word “scam” in quotations. If anyone has mentioned the company and the word “scam” together in an article, on a blog, or even in a discussion forum, most likely that result will pop up. You can also substitute the word scam for “scheme” or “fraud”. If there are negative reports to be found anywhere, you’ll probably get them in search results.
2)You can also check to see if there are complaint reports on the company with the Better Business Bureau at bbbonline.com, or at websites like scambusters.org and scam.com. Word gets around if people have bad experiences with a company, and this is especially true when it comes to work at home scams!
3)Check the contact information on the company website. Do they offer a street address and telephone number? Try calling the number (unless the employment ad specifically requests no phone calls) or search the business yellow pages to see if the company information matches. If you can’t find any information to verify it’s a real company, that might mean they are simply new – or they might be scammers posing as a real employer.
When this happens, the best course of action is to proceed, but carefully. You can still apply for the job, but be sure to remove your address and telephone number from your resume, and set up a “junk” email account in case it does end up being a scammer. Once you apply for the job, you’ll be able to tell for sure if the company is real by what happens next.
Do they ask for money? Do they request sensitive information? Or do they act like other legitimate employers you’ve worked for before? Legitimate employers will usually request a phone interview, or at least correspond with you about your skills and experience to be sure you can handle the job. They will also give clear details about the job duties, pay scale and more.
Based on their behavior, you’ll have an unmistakable sign whether you can trust them or not.

Youth Ministries All Around The World Have A Tough Job To Do, But It's Far From Impossible
Youth Ministries All Around the World Have a Tough Job to Do, But It's Far From Impossible
I wrote this article to help all youth leaders to run effective youth ministries to the honor and glory of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Are you ready to get into it?
Grab a pen and paper quick and let's get into it shall we?
1. Keeping and Maintaining interest
You don't have to talk very long to a Sunday school teacher to discover that many young people nowadays have what many people call a short attention span. I however have seen it, and it's not that there's a short attention span with our youth today, but its that young people, are just that- young. And they do not want to have the Gospel preached to them in the old way.
If you really want to reach a young person then you've got to speak to them frankly, and openly. They've got to understand that being a Christian isn't all peaches and cream all the time, but it is the most rewarding and joyful experience than anything thing in this world. And to truly do this, the life of the youth pastor or youth teacher must be in agreement with the Word of God.
There can be no two-faces about it. If someone shows up to class sick, and you're saying and "By His stripes we were healed" in the readings for that day, you need to go and demonstrate the Word of God. Be a doer of the Word. Transform the meeting environment, into a place where young people are built up to not only being hearers of the Word but also doers of the Word. And when you do launch out in faith and lay hands on the sick, they will recover.
2. Assisting in School
Particularly with teenagers and young adults, you as the youth leader are going to need to get involved in the school affairs of those you are speaking to. Why? Because it's important. Not only because it's school, but because of the many outside influences that youth at school face.
Let me give you an example. So there you are trying to get through to a young person about forgiveness when that young person says, "Not me. I ain't going to forgive her!" You look at that young person baffled, wondering where you went wrong after all of these years of them being in the youth club and Sunday school. This is where you're going to have to take a look at the school environment and ask yourself, "Is the school that this young person is in one that excercises Christian values and beliefs?" And if your answer turns up to be no, then don't sit down idle feeling as though you can't do anything about it.
Get up and begin to make a difference. Go in and speak to the youth at the school maybe during morning assemblies or devotions. Rally behind teachers and principals at the school to see how you can help to change the environment at the school. Teach the school choir a new song that speaks to them of God's love and forgiveness. It doesn't have to be something outlandish, but it does have to be effective.
And in addition to those outreaches at the schools, take some time to speak to the youth group themselves. Speak to them about peer pressure and knowing who they are in Jesus Christ. You'll find that this will help so much, because then they'd begin to see the relevance of their faith in the world about them, and respect you for revealing that to them.
3. Helping them overcome peer-pressure
It's not going to be easy, but it is not impossible. You see, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. As a youth leader, you've got to be able to help the young people in your group overcome peer-pressure. As mentioned in the previous bullet, it is not the most comforting thing to see those whom you have taught and fellowshipped with go the other way. But don't let that phase you.
I find that with situations like these, prayer is a powerful and dynamic tool against the attacks of the enemy. Make it a top-priority to pray. Pray before meetings, pray during meetings, pray between breaks, pray after the meetings, encourage prayer at home, and you pray as well when you arrive at home. It is a missing element in our ministries today, but when it returns, we will see a major and drastic transformation in our youth, for they will then become a generation that will advance the cause of the Kingdom of God in all the earth.
So what I'm saying is what Paul encourages us to do and that's "Pray without ceasing."
4. Building Trust and Respect at Home
Your work as a youth leader is hardly done when the meeting is over. In fact it is only then that it really begins. As a youth leader, you need to be in close communication with parents at home, providing a prayer covering for the home, as well as encouraging parents to be a part of their children's Spiritual development. It's so important that the scriptural lessons taught during youth group meetings are enforced at home.
Your part in this is to ask parents for their support so that Faith, Hope and Love may abide in the home, thus building, trust and respect among each and every member of the home circle.
5. Equipping Them To Walk In Their God-given Destinies
You'll find that daily as young people grow Spiritually, that they'll be able to discern the voice of God in their lives. And when God speaks to them about their destinies in Christ, it is often a maze-like situation where the answers and support are hardly ever existent for them
Don't let that be the case with your youth group. As a youth leader, it is important that you seek the Lord for answers with regards to each member of the group's calling. Ask the Lord to give you the scriptures that will help that young person who comes to you for help in making career decisions and the like.
And in all your getting get wisdom and understanding so that you'll know how and when to guide them in the path that they should go; the path that the Lord has set out for them through His Son, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
