How to Answer Ten More Tricky Questions you May be Asked in a Job Interview (Part 8 of 10)
Q70 - Are you willing to meet very high standards of performance? This question probes your attitude to see if you think you are an excellent performer. Very high standards sounds a little scary, but remember these terms are relative, and until you get on the job you may not even know how high they mean. You should answer yes to this question .
Q71 - Which are the best and worst bosses you have ever had & why? Here is more probing to determine if you get along well with your superiors. The best answer you can give here is that you've always gotten along with all your bosses and never really had a "bad" boss. Always be positive when answering this one as well as any questions about what you think for the companies where you have worked. Any negatives in this area can only hurt you.
Q72 - What is the most interesting and the least interesting work you have done? This is another question designed to probe into your preferences about work areas. A positive answer, as usual would be helpful.
Q73 - Have you ever had a job you really didn't like? Another loaded question here and it should be handled with caution. If you didn't like a particular job because it wasn't stimulating, was boring, or didn't bring out your real talents, you can mention these bur put a positive slant on it. Anything negative about the people involved in these jobs should be avoided.
Q74 - What did you do during the gap in employment between your last job and the one before? Interviewers pick up on any gaps in employment so be prepared for this one if you have any gaps.
Q75 - What is your Social Security Number? This will always be asked at some time, so should either have it memorized or have your card with you.
Q76 - How do you feel about working with minorities? Asking this question may be illegal, but you should in most cases answer that you try to avoid any prejudices and treat all people alike.
Q77 - Do you have references I can check? Be prepared with names, addresses & phone numbers on your references. You should always ask people for permission to use them as a reference before you do so.
Q78 - Do you have any direct work experience in this job area? Handle this question by outlining your accomplishments in specific areas related to the job you are seeking. Always use concrete examples where possible as these are more credible than generalities.
Q79 - How do you feel about working for a woman? Common sense should tell you the answer is that you have no qualms whatever.

Good luck at your next interview!.
