Job Search in Bluffton

If you're starting a job search in Bluffton, preparing for interviews is an important step. At Express Employment Professionals Bluffton, we help job seekers get ready for interview opportunities as part of our job search services. One way we do this is by giving candidates tips about common interview questions and the best ways to answer them.

Below, we've collected three questions you're likely to hear during your job search in Bluffton along with tips on how to respond to these questions in interviews.

Job Search Tips for Interview Questions

1. What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?  Job seekers often say this is the hardest interview question to answer. The best way to handle this question is to do three things. First, highlight strengths that are relevant to the position. Second, show that you're aware of your shortcomings instead of acting like you don't have any. Finally, demonstrate you know how to compensate for these limitations by talking about the ways you work around your weaknesses.

2. Why are you applying for this job/company?  When answering this question, there are two qualities you should focus on. The first is why you think you're the right person for this particular job. The second is what makes you excited for this position. In short, you want to stress why you think you'll succeed and why you're motivated to perform.

3. Why are you leaving your current job/company?  The biggest risk with this question is you might come across as overly critical of your current (or most recent) employer. That rarely reflects well on job candidates. So it's a good idea to think ahead and find ways you can answer this question as diplomatically as possible. One strategy you can use is to pivot quickly from why you left your previous position to why this new opportunity feels like a step forward. For example: "My current position doesn't offer many chances for advancement, and I see a lot of opportunities for upward movement in this new role."
