Job questions

Why do you want to work here?
What benefits can you bring to the company?
What do you see as your main responsabilites here? (in other words,they want to know,do you understand what type of job your going for.Silly I know,but there it is).
What are your previous experiances,in relation to the job your applying for?
How did you get to hear about the job?
What sort of salary scale are you looking for?
Can you supply at least two references?
Dont get family members to make this up,please,as they will want direct contact with previous employers.They may even ask for a third reference,from a charactor witness.Someone who knows you (not a family member),but someone you have not worked for.

Just be yourself,plan ahead,what could they ask,do I know a liitle bit about the company.Sit comfortable at the interview.Try not to fidget,and above all,when answering questions,dont look at the floor,or the ceiling Make sure you give eye contact as much as possible.Finally,show interest,and just enjoy yourself.If they want you,they will say so.If you dont get the job,it's valuable experiance,at a genuine job interview.Good luck.

A few others to add to Nez's excellent list.
Where do you see yourself in 2-5 years time?
What are your WEAKNESSES ? (I hate this one)
Are you prepared to relocate ?

You need to ask them a few things as well like;
Does the job include any external training, like MCP etc ?(shows drive)

Always ask about the salary - the money is always the imporatnt part - you don't want to be doing a job only to find out you get peanuts.

An interview gaff

One interview I went for,back in 1902 they asked me where could I see myself in ten years time?
I replied,sitting where you are now.
They asked what benefits could I bring to the company?
I said my charm,wit,and desire to show others how to put things right?
Finally,what salary did I have in mind?
I said what the highest offer was,plus a guaranteed pension,plus a company car.
I was only 18 at the time.I did'nt get the job.
Hum bug

Why are you leaving your current job?

I have x number of people to interview for this job, why should I choose you over them?

Would you be able to work extra hours at short notice?

Have you any non-work commitments that could interfere with your service here?

Good luck (they won't say this - i'm saying it )
