Job Search in Buffalo

There are few better ways to prepare for a job search than practicing your interview skills. At Express Employment Professionals Buffalo South, we know most job seekers don't look forward to interviews. But with the right preparation, you can make interviews less stressful and boost your chances of success.

One strategy we recommend for interview prep is to prepare and practice your answers for common interview questions. Below, we've compiled three questions you're likely to be asked during a job search. We've also included tips from the experts at Express Employment Professionals Buffalo South on the best ways to answer these questions.

Job Search Tips for Interview Questions

1. Why are you applying for this position/company?  This is a question where it helps to think like an interviewer. Generally, employers want to hear two things in response to this question. First, they want to hear why you're excited and motivated for this opportunity. Second, they want to hear why you're confident you'll thrive in this role.

2. What is your biggest accomplishment?  When answering this question, it's important to frame your response in terms of the role. Rather than simply describing your most impressive accomplishment, try to highlight an achievement that shows you'll succeed in this position. Additionally, when you explain the achievement, try to focus on details that reflect the kind of work you'll be doing in your new job.

3. Where do you see yourself in five years?  Employers usually ask this question for a pair of reasons. One reason is they want to know you're not looking for a stopgap job. Your answer should make clear that you're committed to this position. Even if you see yourself somewhere else in the future, this role should be a significant part of your five-year plan. The other reason is they want to see that you're motivated and goal-oriented. So it's worth framing your response in terms of upward movement.
