Questions in an interview, ‘What was your biggest professional failure? Posted: 04 Jul 2011 01:42 PM PDT This is a very unpleasant question. It is actually worse than the one on weaknesses. But you of course see the similarity although the latter wants a more specific answer followed by an explanation into the circumstances of the failure. This interview question is quite often mistakenly perceived by the interviewee as illegitimate. A grave mistake and common behavioral pattern of many job applicants is to try and hide failures or mishaps. Job applicants often think the interviewer is trying to set them a trap; this is wrong – the interviewer is trying to get to know you.? Do you know that the one who has just asked you the question has his/her own professional failures? They may also be grosser than yours. The assumption is that everyone makes mistakes. Naturally, we are not referring to colossal failures then none of us are immune to mishaps. For example, we may make a wrong estimation or fail to meet our goals (this can also happen for objective reasons). Other examples may be like inability to complete a project due to lack of resources or failure to meet a deadline because of overload. Read More>>>

You want good pay, you learn to negotiate well. Posted: 04 Jul 2011 01:41 PM PDT There is a sense of accomplishment with the getting of the first job. Often, it implies an end of many months, sometimes years, of searching for employment after graduation from college or university. By the time one gets invited for an interview, there will have been quite a number of job applications and follow ups. With that in mind, and when faced with the task of negotiating the salary, it is easy to end up making wrong and miscalculated decisions. Many have accepted salaries beneath their worth, or at least the value of the job they are being recruited for. Generally, fresh job seekers tread carefully when it comes to asking for better salaries. Read More>>>
