Questions to expect in a job interview:

• Tell me something about yourself.

• Why do you want to work for us? What do you look for in a job?

• Your resume suggests that you may be over-qualified or too experienced for this position. What's your opinion?

• In your current (last) position, what features do (did) you like the most? What features do (did) you like the least?

• What are your long-term career objectives?

• What is your ideal working environment like?

• Why should we hire you?

• What was a movie you saw recently that impressed you?

• What is your biggest weakness? What is your greatest strength?

Writing a Cover Letter:

• Cover letters are always written specifically for each position and typically accompany a resume.

• The cover letter should support the resume, not simply repeat the same information that has already been mentioned.

• Take your time! Re-read what you have written and ask for more opinions.

• Don’t be shy! Compliment yourself, your skills and your abilities. Make sure you stand out from the rest of the applicants.
