E28: Good vs. Bad Interview Questions: The Good

HigherEdJobs Podcast

A couple months back we asked HigherEdJobs job seekers for some of the 'best interview questions' and some of the 'worst interview questions' that they have been asked in an interview. In this episode Kelly and Andy discuss how to capitalize on the good questions we may be asked in an interview.

From the audience:

What is the best question you have ever been asked in an interview?

1. How can this position assist or enhance the work that you are doing in your role?

2. What is a word that people have used to describe you that you don’t necessarily agree with?

3. Why do you want this job? “If I couldn’t answer confidently then I knew I was in the wrong place.”

4. If you were part of a salad, what would you be and why? “I said I was the dressing because I tie everything together, but that seems like an obvious answer in hindsight.”
