41. What do you think about the small companies?
If you worked in a big multinational and now you are applying to a very small company, I suggest you to analyze the situation very well in the first place. You may never get adapted to it.
If you have already thought about it and the position is good for you, you should convince your interviewer about the reasons why you are interested in the company and that task.
A possible answer would be: “Small companies give the opportunity to work in many fields and that is challenging for me.”
42. Wouldn’t you prefer working in another company?
You should face this question and its answer, not thinking on what you should answer if they pose it, but if you really want, or not, to work there. Ask yourself this.
A possible answer: “Not at all. I think that I will find with you the opportunity and the challenge I am looking for.”
43. You mentioned the word challenge, what does it mean for you?
A possible answer: “Challenge is to have a reason to wake up everyday and desire to go to work.”
44. What do you think your boss thinks (or thought) about the way you work?
“I haven’t had problems with my bosses or superiors in my previous jobs; therefore, I think they have a positive opinion of me.” Here you can tell a pertinent anecdote that you consider appropriate for your postulation.
If by the contrary, you have had a bad evaluation or problem with your previous bosses, don’t forget that it can come out later when your future employer asks for references. This is the time for you to give your own version of what happened.
45. Describe your perfect job.
Think about this type of questions ahead of time. If you are taken by surprise it is possible that you will give an answer that won’t be satisfactory. A possible answer would be:
“When I feel a desire to go to work everyday when I wake up.”
46. Mention aspects of your work that motivate you.
Make a list. Plan these answers in advance.
47. How would you like to be remembered?
Each one of us may have a different idea about this. I suggest you to think of answers about the work area and related to it that may interest your employer. It wouldn’t be a good answer if you say: “because I was the best party planner.”
48. Do you think you are a good friend for your friends?
An adequate answer would be: “I have a lot/few friends and I care for them with my biggest devotion.”
49. How would you describe a friend?
Everyone will have a different answer for this question. The style of your answer could be the following: “Nice, active and organized. A person who always tries to make new friends and keeps their personal commitments.”
50. Do you prefer working with numbers or words?
People have different approaches to each one of these topics. Some of them feel good working with numbers; they are fast to come to conclusions of this type. Others feel comfortable with language. A good employee should have a minimum of each of these abilities.
Examples: An excellent research analyst who also has a good manage of the numbers will, at some point, have to present a comprehensible report to the investors, for which they will need to have an excellent management of the language. In some moment of their task, they will have to compare budgets and make an annual plan.
If you are good only at one of these things, I strongly suggest you to begin working on the ability you are missing.
