job interview in the comments section below the video, I will come on here and give you

some additional interview questions to help you prepare. And as I say, to make you the

stand out candidate. Let's get into those job interview questions and answers for freshers.

Here we go. Question number one: Tell us about yourself? So this is pretty much guaranteed

to be the first question. It gives you the opportunity to talk about yourself, and gain

a little bit of confidence in your communication style during the interview. But it's very

important that we give them a relatively short answer, one that is focused on your achievements

to date and also the QUALITIES you have that will be of benefit to the employer. Here is

my suggested answer. “I’m a positive and happy person who enjoys working for other

people as part of a team to complete tasks and projects. One thing I’ve learnt about

myself over the last few years is that I am determined, I am professional and I am also

resilient. It’s important that I get a good start in my working life, and I know I need

to work hard and prove to you I can excel within the job. Although I may lack some work

experience, I do make up for it with my communication and interpersonal skills, my loyalty and my

hardworking nature.”

I'm a positive and happy person who enjoys working for other people as part of a team

to complete tasks and projects. So that is a positive response! It’s loaded with lots

of qualities that would be attractive to any employer. And it shows that you are GENUINE

about wanting to do a good job for them. So, our second freshers interview question with

answer is: Why do you want to work for our company? That is quite a difficult question!

My advice is to make sure you prepare a good answer to it before you attend your interview.

My advice is to give 3 genuine reasons why you want to work for their company or organization.

Show them that you've carried out some research online, before you go to the interview. Here

is my suggested answer to the interview question: Why do you want to work for our company? Here

we go. “I’d like to work for your company because you provide great service to your

customers and you also support young people like me to gain positive work experience.

I don’t want to work for just any company. I’ve carried out my research online and

you have great reviews, others speak highly of you and I feel you have a brilliant team

that I would very much like to be a part of where I can learn, thrive and develop.”

That's a great answer to the interview question: Why do you want to work for our company? It's

quite punchy, is positive in nature, but also, you give 3 very good reasons “why”. Next

interview question for Freshers. What are your greatest strengths? Again, I would be

very surprised if this interview question does not come up. But it's a great one to

be prepared for! My advice is to write down a list of things you are good at doing. Now,

you don't have to have any previous work experience to show that you have the necessary skills.

If ever interview people, I am looking for PASSION. I am looking for ENTHUSIASM. So,

you could have been in a job for 20 years, but it doesn't mean to say that you're going

to be a great employee! I want someone who is and enthusiastic and they're going to bring

a positive attitude to the team. Now, there are 8 strengths that are attractive to all

employers and hiring managers. We want to give some of those in your answer to the interview

question, what are your greatest strengths? Here is my suggested answer for you. “From

what others have told me, and what I feel I can offer you, my strengths include being

PROFESSIONAL, HONEST and LOYAL. I am also FLEXIBLE, so I can work the hours needed,

and I also have a desire to LEARN, CONTINUALLY IMPROVE and DEVELOP. I am also able to WORK

EFFECTIVELY AS PART OF A TEAM to complete all jobs and tasks to a very high standard,

so I feel I would be a great fit for your organization.” Those are the qualities and

the strengths that are attractive to any employer. Also, ‘continually improving and developing’

is a great strength to have for anybody who's applying for a job! Next question. This is

probably one of the hardest interview questions to answer and where a lot of people at freshers

interviews trip up. What's your biggest weakness? So what we need to do here, is give a weakness

that is NOT a match for the job you are applying for. Let's say you are applying for a ‘customer

facing role’ and you say: “I don't have much confidence when I'm dealing with people,

but I'm working on it.” You are not going to get the job! You will not get it if you

give that, because it's a match for the job description. We have to be very careful when

giving a weakness. Now, give a weakness that some might perceive as a strength. How do

you do that? Here is my suggested answer to the freshers interview question: What's your

biggest weakness? Here we go. “I think I would have to say my biggest weakness is that

I find it hard to switch off and relax. I always have to be doing something, which can

annoy people sometimes. However, from a work perspective, I think this would be a good

thing, because I can get so much done!” That's one example answer to, What's your

biggest weakness? But here's an alternative: “My biggest weakness is that sometimes I

don’t like to ask others for help or advice – I tend to carry on and try and figure

things out for myself, when in truth, I could save lots of time by asking more experienced

people for help. Although it is a weakness of mine, I am learning to ask for help and

guidance when it’s needed.” That's a great one, because it shows that you take pride

in your work. You don't want to ask people because you feel you can do it yourself, which

demonstrates a determined and confident approach to all tasks. However, when we are at work,

if we are unsure, we should always ask people, especially those who have more experience.

So, there are two GREAT ANSWERS for you to use for the freshers interview question: What's

your biggest weakness? Let's have a look at another freshers interview question with an

answer: What's your greatest achievement to date? A lot of people will simply just say,

you know, “my greatest achievement is my grades or my exam results.” But we don't

just want to say that, because that's what everybody else will say! Now, where possible,

give something related to where you achieved something as part of a TEAM. Those are the

‘best achievements to date’ to give, because working as part of a team is important in

virtually any job related role. And it's also attractive to all employers. Here is my suggested

answer. What you could do, is you could give examples for what is your greatest accomplishment

as: surpassing sales targets in a previous job; giving a great presentation for your

manager; training to complete a sporting event; mentoring or supporting someone to be better

at their job or at work; facilitated a charity event at school, university or work. Those

are great examples of what is your greatest accomplishment! Let me just talk you through

an answer. “My greatest achievement has to be helping the team I was working for in

a previous role beat sales targets for the second month running. The drive and enthusiasm

within the team was infectious, and we all supported each other to achieve our objectives.”

Or you might say: “My greatest accomplishment is when a small group of us from school arranged

a charity event for local good causes. The charity event took place over a weekend and

we managed to raise over $1,000 for good causes!” That demonstrate you are a caring person,

but also you can organize and facilitate events. Next freshers job interview question with

a top scoring answer: What are your hobbies and interests? Now, we're going to be very

careful when we answer this interview question. Don't give the interviewer hobbies that involve

you sitting on your backside! OK, that's the best tip I can give you for answering this

question. Show you are an ACTIVE PERSON and also someone keen on self-development and

improvement, because those are attractive. Here we go. “Most of the time, I’m either

spending quality time with my friends and family, going walking which helps to keep

me mentally fit and physically active, and I also enjoy learning new skills. For example,

I’ve recently been reading an interesting book on mindset development and I’m also

learning to play the guitar which keeps my mind active and improving.” So, that is

attractive! If you were to say: “I stay at home quite a lot… I actually don't go

out too much. I like playing computer games.” That doesn't demonstrate that you are somebody

who wants to develop, thrive and improve. So, that is a great answer to give something

along those lines. Next question: Where do you see yourself in five years time? This

is a very difficult question to answer, because you probably don't know! However, what is

attractive is to make sure that, if you genuinely like their company, then why not say you would

still want to be working for them in a full time role? What you don't want to do is say:

“I haven't really decided yet” because that shows you don't have long term goals

or plans. Now, of course, your plans can change. There is nothing wrong with that. But if you

have a plan of where you want to be in five years time, that shows that you are determined

and you are willing to improve and develop. For example, I am 48 years old, and I have

plans for the next five to 10 years! They may change, but I do always have a plan and

a goal. So, where do you see yourself in five years time? Let's give them a great answer

to this top interview question! “Hopefully, I will be here working for you in a full-time

position. This is the industry and sector I want to work in, so it makes sense for me

to still be here working for you, or even perhaps having gained advancement to a higher

position with more responsibility.” That’s a short and positive answer, which will score

highly during that tough interview question! I hope you’ve enjoyed this freshers interview
