When you're asked what interests you about the position you are interviewing
for, the best way to respond is to describe the qualifications listed
in the job posting, then connect them to your skills and experience.
That way, the employer will see that you know about the job you're
interviewing for (not everyone does) and that you have the
qualifications necessary to do the job.
For example, if you were interviewing for a Human Resources Manager job
where you would be responsible for recruiting, orientation, and
training, you will want to discuss how you were responsible for these
functions in your past positions, and why you are interested in
continuing to develop your expertise in Human Resources management.
Another example would be if you were interviewing for a Programmer /
Analyst position. In that case, you would mention your interest in
learning and excelling at new technologies, your experience in
programming new applications, and your interest in and your ability to
problem solve.
In all cases, you will want to convey your enthusiasm for the
opportunity to interview, along with your solid ability to do the job.
More Interview Questions About You
Here are more common interview questions that you'll be asked about you, along with sample answers and tips on how to respond.
When you are asked questions related to your current or previous
positions, it's important to be specific and to be positive about what
you did in your previous position(s).
The best way to respond is to describe your responsibilities in detail
and to connect them to the job you are interviewing for. Try to tie your
responsibilities in with those listed in the job description for the
new position. That way, the employer will see that you have the
qualifications necessary to do the job. Focus most on your
responsibilities that are directly related to the new job's
requirements.
It's also important to be honest. Don't embellish your job, because you
don't know who the hiring manager will be checking with when they check
your references.
