[QUOTE="sirius, post: 85746, member: 258"] Whats youre favourite 'Trick' difficult questions you get asked? Heres a few of mine which leave you wondering what to say........especially without trying to come accross as arrogant, big headed or overconfident but neither a limp lettuice. "So you've come for the job of (Design Engineer), what makes you think we should take you on? Why do you think you are so special and better than everyone else applying?...... "We havent advertrised the annual pay rate for this position, what would you be realistcly expecting to get for a job like this?....Tell us what you'll be happy with.." ****Here, if u go too high you're being 'unrealistic' and could be way off target to what they are expecting and they wont tke you on, and also if youre too low, they think youre no good at youre job and/or they know they can get away with ripping you off...***** "The position is for a ('Design Engineer'), why dont you want to be a (design) manager?" .... The last one I dont think you can really win, because (as I found out) if you say 'yes' I want to really be a manager at a later stage you're implying that the job youre applying for is somehow 'beneath you' and deemed a road to management. *But* if you say 'No' I do not see myself as a manager for the foreseeable future, I am happy doing the job I'm doing and advancing my knowledge blah blah..." then you are told you dont have any ambition. Theres loads more, but Ive forgotten. Ill tell you what though, the one I find most annoying are the tricky b@stards who purposely do not act as though theyre really listening, deliberately keep getting your name wrong all the time and keep asking the same questions over and over again to see how you cope/react...whether you keep quiet and pretend to not notice and be a wimp, get confrontational and keep telling them youre name and that youve just answered that, or get angry and frustrated at thier insolence and show youre unease because you dont know if theyre for real or not!. Sirius. It seems reading this post, everybody has bad experience in interviews and I'm glad I havent been you lot!. That catch 22 is a real bind too....... [/QUOTE]
