Can you please give me some interview tips. What are the possible quetions and what are the good answers.? -

please give me an example that an interviewee may ask me in a hotel

ok.. this is the basic / common tips .. for a hotel or for any company/ store/ business/ job you are applying for..If the position you are applying for requires quite a bit of research (i.e. junior, middle and senior management positions) being knowledgeable about a company shows that you are proactive and committed about working for them. Possessing this type of knowledge prior to interview will also make you feel more confident.Visit the company / Hotel website Keep a copy of the job advert - it tells you a lot - and enables you to build your questions on the position itself Request a copy of the company brochure/annual report and any other relevant information pertaining to the job and company (i.e. promotional material) Check on any past news articles (found in libraries or on the internet) Keep an eye on the current news for any relevant articles General Research Check ListWhat does this company do What services do they offer / What do they sell When was it started and by whom Experience of Hierarchy Location (s) Turnover and trading history Staff size Who are their customers Structured Career Programme How secure are the employees Working Environment It is very important to give out the right signals during the interview - therefore we suggest:Smile on entrance and make eye contact with all present in the room - and maintain lots of eye contact throughout the interview Give a firm handshake, this shows you are confident Wait to be offered a seat - do not sit down without being offered to and then wait for your interviewer(s) to sit first If you are offered a drink and you want one - it is advisable to accept water - it helps if you dry up and is less messy than tea or coffee (accidents can happen in nervous situations) Look and sound enthusiastic Look attentive and alert - don t slouch or fidget Maintain an open upright stance, lean forward slightly and try not to look too defensive as this will betray your nerves Speak clearly and loudly enough so that all in the room will hear Take your time in answering questions and think before answering questions Listen, try not to get distracted or talk too much Do not get to close to the interviewer(s) or invade their personal space Do not scratch you ears or cover your mouth with your hands or fingers - Common Question asked by Interviewer sWhen preparing and answering remember:Try to think of examples that illustrate where your abilities and skills match their requirements Keep your answers as relevant as possible to questions and relevant to the position you are applying for If you have come to the end of your answer after a particular question but you feel the interviewer is still not satisfied with the answer ask them do you want me to expand on this - and if so which area in particular Always be honest! Tell me about yourself Give a short summary of your qualifications, career history and skills. What do you enjoy about your current job? Focus on things that are relevant to the job that you are applying for. Pick out things that demonstrate a diverse range of skills and interests. Explain your current role and duties Explain how you fit into your department and what your reporting lines are. Talk about how you interact with others in the department and your key responsibilities. What has been your main achievement in your current role?

Do not show any of your current employers confidential company information. What are your strengths? Think about three or four of your main strengths, try to focus on skills that are relevant to the new company. Good examples are communication, social, sales, IT (if required), flexibility, positive attitude and interpersonal skills. What are your weaknesses? This can be a difficult question to answer. We all have weaknesses (and remember it is a strength to admit your weakness). Try to think of a positive way to present a weakness, eg. explain how you have overcome it and think of an example to back this up. Have you ever come across a difficult situation at work and how did you handle it? Have you ever come across a difficult situation at work and how did you handle it? Why do you want this job? Pick out the positive aspects of the job you are applying for. Try to avoid mentioning things like more money or shorter hours. Do not mention negative aspects of your current post but you can include factors such as wanting a new challenge or more responsibility. You can perhaps emphasis their image and their growth strategy - and explain that you want to be part of that. What interests you about this company?
