Example Job Interview Questions and
Answers
Congratulations! You have applied for a job and now you are getting ready for that
important job interview. Your English is excellent and you are looking forward to making
a good impression on your future (hopefully) boss. Now, you need to make sure that you
also have the right type of English for that job interview.
The job interview in English contains specific questions and appropriate answers. It also
requires a certain flexibility in your usage of tenses. This feature provides tips on job
interview questions and answers in English.
When you walk in the room the very first impression you make on the interviewer can
have a great influence on the rest of the interview. It is important that you introduce
yourself, shake hands, and are friendly. The first question is often a "breaking the ice"
(establish a rapport) type of question. Don't be surprised if the interviewer asks you
something like:
How are you today?
Did you have any trouble finding us?
What do you think of the weather lately?
Don't be surprised by the friendly tone. The interviewer wants to put you at ease (help you
relax). Answer the question without going into too much detail. The language you use should
be simple but polite, for example;
How are you today?
GOOD
I'm fine thank you, and you?
I'm well thank you.
BAD
So, so
OK
Not so well
What is most important?
Talking about your experience and credentials (qualifications) is the most important part of
any job interview. Your qualifications include your education from High School on and any
special training you may have done in the past. Your experience is any work that you have
done that is directly or indirectly related to the job you are applying for.
Education
Remember that your education took place in the past. Therefore you need to use the past
tenses, for example:
I attended the University of Helsinki from 1987 to 1993.
I graduated with a degree in agricultural planning.
