What experience do you have in this field?

1. Answer tips

• Prepare a good Resume which is well-written and includes as much of the above-mentioned experience option as possible without being cluttered with irrelevant information.

• Research the company: you will make a good impression if you show familiarity with what they do and ask intelligent and relevant questions.

• Practice talking about yourself, maintaining poise, being presentable, and projecting enthusiasm. If you are passionate about the subject, don’t be shy to show it.

If you do that, it is likely a company will prefer a young applicant with little experience, but who is enthusiastic and able to learn, to an experienced, expensive, less enthusiastic, and – in the long run – much less efficient “veteran.”

There are ways to accumulate relevant experience while still studying or looking for a good full-time position.

• Relevant part-time jobs.
• Jobs not directly related, but having tasks or requiring skills which are.
• Volunteer work
• Internships
• Pay courses
• Private projects

What kind of salary do you need?

A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

Describe a typical work week for you.

Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position you are applying for and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions.

It should be obvious that it’s not a good idea talk about non-work related activities that you do on company time, but, I’ve had applicants tell me how they are often late because they have to drive a child to school or like to take a long lunch break to work at the gym.

Keep your answers focused on work and show the interviewer that you’re organized (“The first thing I do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.”) and efficient.

Do you have any questions for me?

Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? Are examples.

In reviewing these responses, please remember that they are only examples. Please do not rehearse them verbatim or adopt them as your own. They are meant to stir your creative juices and get you thinking about how to properly answer the broader range of questions that you will face.
