How to Answer Interview Questions

Tell me about yourself. Do not talk about your personal life or hobbies. Answer with
statements about your experience, skills, and qualifications for the job. In fact, prepare
for an interview by memorizing a 30-second statment about your experience and skills.

Think of this 30-second statment as a mini-commercial about you to an employer.
What do you want this job? Think of something special to say about that company such as: “Since I have always enjoyed eating here, I thought this might be a great place to work”; “I feel I could learn a lot about the grocery business by working for Food For Less, one of the best grocery stores”; “I like the products you sell and want to learn the retail business”; “I want to learn about the warehouse business”; “The job offers opportunity for advancement.” Do not say “For the money,” or “Because I need a job” or "Because my mom wants me to get a job."

What did you like most about your last job? Talk about the responsibilities you had, the skills you learned, and the way the “team“ (that is, your coworkers and supervisors) worked together to improve..
