Opportunity

Discover infallible tips, already tested and approved by job candidates in national and foreign companies

The search for a good job can be a challenging journey, and when you schedule a job interview, you know that the opportunity has arrived to show your best. This article provides tips for doing well in an interview, considering the six most common questions and appropriate and satisfactory answers. These strategies have already been used by several people who have been approved in interviews for vacancies in international and national companies.

Let’s go:

1.Tell me about yourself!

This is usually the first question the recruiter asks and, as it is an open-ended question, it is a great opportunity to demonstrate your qualifications. Many professionals start by talking about their training, first experience and so on until their current experience.
My recommendation is: start with a brief summary that includes key words, present in the description of the vacancy in question, citing your results – then you can tell more about the beginning of your career and your journey so far.
Something like: I am a professional with xx years of experience in xx area, working in xxx (words present in the job description). In this area I was able to achieve significant results such as…. (So ​​from there you can talk a little about your own history).

2. What has been your main professional challenge so far?

In this question, comment on a challenge you could likely encounter at this company and speak clearly about how you overcame it.

3. What are your strengths and areas for improvement?

Nothing to talk about here as a strong point of resilience and a weak point of perfectionism or anxiety, huh?
As a strong point you can mention something like strategic vision, assertive communication, innovation (if that makes sense) and as a point to improve it needs to be something that does not harm you in the role and also that you are already working to improve.
For this question, it is recommended that you carry out a behavioral profile analysis and invest in your self-knowledge, as this will allow you to be more assertive in your answer!

4. Why did you leave your previous company or want to leave your current company?

Be as honest as possible, without speaking negatively about your previous job: you can say that your growth expectations were no longer aligned with the company’s expectations, for example, but be prepared to delve deeper into this subject. The suggestion is to eliminate emotional reasons as much as possible and bring in more technical considerations or career expectations.

5. Why should we hire you?

Say something like: My experiences and knowledge fit the job description and I see a lot of synergy between my values ​​and the company’s values. I believe that just as I have brought significant results wherever I have been, it will be no different here.
Say something that adds value to the company and not just to you, such as because I love the company, because I need it, etc…

6. Do you have any questions about the selection process?

It is very important to actually ask a question and one of the most intelligent is: what is the biggest challenge of this position, or: what are the behavioral skills that you value most in a professional?
At this point, don’t ask things like the benefits of the position, etc., unless you really need to know something that wasn’t mentioned, but it’s important to ask one of the questions as I suggested above.

In general, people have difficulty talking about themselves, especially when they need to mention positive things. There is a collective belief that we need to be “humble” and that talking a lot about yourself can seem arrogant or something like that, however humility has nothing to do with recognizing your achievements and skills – and in a job interview it is essential to explore as much as possible how You really stand out from the rest.
