What a nice bunch of capitalist bullshit. “When did You go above and beyond?” When I was paid above and beyond, so never. “What are Your financial expectations?” If You didn’t specify the pay in the job offer, I won’t be interested. And if You did, my expectations are the top bracket You provided.
Is your job interviewer God?
Yes, but it you want to do well at an interview this is the shit they will ask
If you are getting asked shit like this, you walk out. You don’t want to work there. On the other hand. Are these real questions? Do American interviewers ask pointless questions like these?
This is all they ask. Google the star method.
Chill out people. It’s a guide for when you need to convince someone who is not convinced by your qualifications alone. If they have nothing else to go by (for whatever reason, good or bad), SOME of these questions are a valid option to figure out stuff that isn’t on your résumé. If the hiring process is bad or yoz are simply a poor talker (which is okay) reading stuff like this can help you be prepared. In an ideal situation, you want a candidate to start talking on their own. That isn’t always possible and sometimes pulling stuff through someone’s nose is the best option.
And, remember, if you don’t have a situation that fits, lie!
Even if you do, if it’s not ideal lie lie lie
You owe them nothing.
Other things not mentioned that may come up:
- Describe a time you had to deal with a difficult co-worker. How did you deal with it?
- Explain a time you disagreed with a decision made by management.
- How would you deal with a situation where your contributions were overlooked?
- Was there ever a time you felt things were going in the wrong direction? What did you do?
On the positive side:
- What accomplishment were you most proud of?
- How did you and your colleagues celebrate a success?
- How would you go about measuring individual vs team success?
If you are interviewing at a BigCo, they’ll also ask indirect questions trying to suss out your ‘soft skills.’
