In December 2015 I was invited to attend an interview for my 5th semester internship in a respected German company. Believe me, once I got the invitation, I ran as fast as I could to the campus library to borrow some Smart Answers To Interview Questions books. And well… I wish I could have known that I actually can learn how to answer interview questions from one of the best person in this world: Miss Britney Spears. She is a legend in the music and entertainment industry. She is also an entrepreneur and a unique Instagram persona. Oh! And she is also a mom and a mom knows every solution to solve a problem!
And trust me, doesn’t matter whether it’s an interview for a regular job, an internship or maybe even for a scholarship, these tricks from one person who is not someone new in Forbes’ list will help you a lot to get the position or anything that you want! So this post will contain the interview question which is followed by the answer. Here we go!!
Hi! How are you feeling?
Be excited! This is your day!
Would you like a cup of coffee or tea?
You must choose! You can’t say “No, thanks”
So… Let’s start. Tell us something about you!
Say your name loud and clear!
Tell them a little about your obsession
No need to give too private informations!
Do you have a boy- or girlfriend?
Always say no. If you say yes, they know your attention won’t be 100% to work
Why not?
Simple answer for simple question. Ain’t no body got time for your story about your last ex
Can you speak any other language beside English?
No is not an answer
Why do you want to work in this company?
Because it’s…
What are you going to do to grow this company?
Give them something that they never expected before!
And what is that?
But don’t let them steal your ideas before you’re hired!
What is your motivation to work here?
Tell us about any dream of yours that hasn’t come true!
Be true to yourself too
Tell us something new that’s been going around in IT?
Just don’t lie. No one’s gonna believe you when you said, “You know, that the other company is going to make a device like Pokeball to catch animal easily”
Are you having another job interview in another company?
They expect you to say yes. But just say no to save some times.
What is your biggest mistake and how did you fix it?
No one expects you to say “I never made a mistake before”
Great. Let’s talk about your salary. What about $600,613 a month?
Don’t be afraid to ask for more. They usually offer you the lowest number
Why should we hire you?
Because they won’t hire an underdog!
We will get back to you in a week or two
It’s time to apply for another position in another company, y’ll
And most importantly, just don’t do this…
By saying ‘Uhmm’, you just tell them that you can’t think fast. Add something less obvious to the end of your sentence if you want to think for a moment like…
And by the end of the day, what matters is that you always try to bring the best out of yourself every day. And your personality during the interview will also count. No one’s gonna hire a smart ass who acts like he’s Mr. Know It All. So keep it cute, and if you don’t find this post useful, well…
And…
Good luck getting that position, sweetheart!
