Tough Interview Questions NEED Great Answers

Mental fear of the unknown is often what produces the physical reaction of nervousness. In addition to preparing your mind and body physically, you also need to prepare yourself mentally. The best way to prepare mentally is to know what may be coming. Fear of the unknown can only exist when there is an unknown. Take the time to understand some of the "standards" when it comes to interviewing questions.

The following are some of the most difficult questions you will face in the course of your job interviews. Some questions may seem rather simple on the surface--such as "Tell me about yourself..."--but these questions can have a very wide variation of answers. Others are "classic" interview questions such as, "What is your greatest weakness?" Questions that most people inappropriately answer. In this case, the textbook answer for the "greatest weakness" question is to give a veiled positive-- "I work too much. I just work and work and work."--which ends up sending the wrong message. Either you are lying or, worse yet, if you are telling the truth, then you define working too much as a weakness and, therefore, you really don't want to work much at all. Think about it.

The following answers are provided to give you a new perspective on how to answer tough interview questions. They are not there for you to lift from the page and insert into your next interview. They are there for you to use as the basic structure for formulating your own answers. While the specifics of each reply may not apply to you, try to follow the basic structure of answering from the perspective of the interviewer. Answer the questions behaviorally--that is, giving specific behavioral examples that show clear evidence to back up what you are saying. Always provide information that drives home the point that you want to become be the very best _____ for the company and that you have specifically prepared yourself to become exactly that. They want to be sold. They are waiting to be sold. Don't disappoint them!

1. Tell me about yourself.

My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best _____ I can  become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared  myself...

2. Why should I hire you?

Because I sincerely believe that I'm the best person for  the job. I realize that there are many other college  students that have the ability to do this job. I also have  that ability. But I also bring an additional quality that  makes me the very best person for the job--my attitude for  excellence. Not just giving lip service to excellence, but  putting every part of myself into achieving it. In ... and ...  I have consistently reached for becoming the very best I  can become by doing the following...

3. What is your long-range objective? Where do you  want to be 10 or 15 years from now?

Although it's certainly difficult to predict things far into  the future, I know what direction I want to develop  toward. Within five years, I would like to become the  very best _____ your company has. I would like to  become the expert that others rely upon. And in doing so,  I feel I will be fully prepared to take on any greater  responsibilities that might be presented in the long term.

4. How has your education prepared you for your career?

As you will note on my resume, I've taken not only the  required core classes in the _____ field, I've also gone  above and beyond. I've taken every class the college has  to offer in the field and also completed an independent  study project specifically in this area. But it's not just  taking the classes to gain academic knowledge I've taken  each class, both inside and outside of my major, with this  profession in mind. So when we're studying _____ in  _____, I've viewed it from the perspective of _____. In  addition, I've always tried to keep a practical view of how  the information would apply to my job. Not just theory,  but how it would actually apply. My capstone course  project in my final semester involved developing a real-world model of _____, which is very similar to what  might be used within your company...

5. What is your greatest weakness?

I would say my greatest weakness has been my lack of  proper planning in the past. I would overcommit myself  with too many variant tasks, then not be able to fully  accomplish each as I would like. However, since I've  come to recognize that weakness, I've taken steps to  correct it. For example, I now carry a planning calendar  in my pocket so that I can plan all of my appointments  and "to do" items. Here, let me show you how I have this  week planned out...

In reviewing the above responses, please remember that these are sample answers. Please don't rehearse them verbatim or adopt them as your own. They are meant to stir your creative juices and get you thinking in relation to how to properly answer the broader range of questions that you will face.

 

John Lloyd & Luis In My Life’ kissing scene

The “In My Life” star also takes note of a separation between his personal self and his character in the movie Noel.

“It was part of myself because I am the temple of my character. I felt two kinds of emotions. When I was Noel, yes, I really really felt it (the kiss). The scene, my character’s moment, was very much alive in my heart,” John Lloyd said in an interview .

This was something he never felt for a girl before, said John Lloyd, simply because every kiss for him is a different experience in itself.

In My Life narrates the story of Shirley Templo, played by VilMa Santos, a school librarian who decided to visit his gay son in New York after learning that her daughter would leave her for a greener pasture abroad. Real life son Luis Manzano plays Shirley’s  son, Mark. When Shirley arrived in New York, she picked from the airport by his son’s somestic partner, Noel played by John Lloyd Cruz. Shirley does not like Noel and think that the latter was just an opportunist. By the way, Noel is an illegal immigrant

The movie centers on Shirley and her relationship to her children, it  movie emphasized the value of communication between parents and children. The  character of Noel and Mark was not the highlight of the film, it was not a typical gay movie.  However it can open the minds of the parents on how they can accept there children and respect there sexuality.


I like also some of the lines deliver in the film:

“May mali ba saken? (referring to Shirley looks)” “Marami, buhok mo pang librarian, salamin mo pang guidance, damit mo pang principal, height mo pang estudyante…” 

“Anak mo lang sya, di mo sa pag-aari…” Hindi lang ikaw ang my karapatang mag mahal sa kanya" “Hindi sa yo umiikot ang mundo nya at hindi ito matatapos pag wala ka na…”  

The story and the overall feeling filled up for whatever was lacking. It can open the minds of the parents that has a gay siblings in the family. 

The story from the start was great it was a mix of emotion, however during the part that Mark was killed  cause of "hit and run" bump with a car , the turning point of the emotions was not that great. People would say "sayang pinatay si mark" the twist was very different, you can't predict the ending of the film. Its better for you to experience the movie.
