Job Search in the Glendale

Job Search in the Glendale

During a job search, it pays to be prepared for interview opportunities. No one understands that better than we do at Express Employment Professionals Glendale. It's why we work closely with job seekers and assist them with interview prep.

One step we recommend is to practice your answers for common interview questions ahead of time. This way, you can answer confidently when asked these questions (or similar ones) during interviews.

If you're starting a job search in the San Fernando Valley, here are three questions you'll want to be ready for.

Job Search Tips for Interview Questions

1. Why are you leaving your current job/company?  This question can be a dangerous one for candidates. On the one hand, it's helpful to be clear about why you're looking for a change of pace in your career. On the other hand, you don't want to be the person who's badmouthing their employer during interviews. If you have misgivings about your current job or a past position, it's worth finding a diplomatic way to describe these issues.

2. Why are you applying for this job/company?  There are two main things to focus on when answering this question. The first is why you think you'll thrive in this role. The second is why you're excited for the opportunity. Employers want to know you're drawn to the position because you have what it takes to succeed. They also want to hear you're enthusiastic and motivated to perform your best work.

3. How would your coworkers describe you?  During an interview, you spend so much time talking from your own perspective that this question can easily catch you off-guard. One way to avoid this is to simply ask this question of your coworkers when preparing for interviews. Even if you're not asked this question directly by employers, a second opinion on your strengths can help you answer other questions and speak about yourself more confidently.
