I have an interview tommorow. What questions will they ask?

I have an interview for an admin job with the council - personnel assistant. What kind of questions should I prepare for?

Answers:
are you good up ladders, can you lean on a shovel,do you look nice in florescent yellow, do you get vertigo when looking down holes, repeat after me one lump or two
remember your name!
What are your strengths and weaknesses is one that always seems to be asked.

Also, "Do you work well in a team?"
Why do you want to work here? What is your weakness?
They will probably ask you why you are leaving (or left) your last job, what is the best job you ever had, why you want this one, and where you want your career to be in five or 10 or 20 years.
1. Why did you leave your last job?
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
3. Tell me about yourself (professionally).
This is a really good and in depth article on this topic. Enjoy!
ur size of breast, butt
how many men are u able to serve in an single night and for how many hours

such kind of thing
1. Tell me about your-self ?
Why do you want this job?
What will you bring to this role?
What did you do in [your last job]?
Why did you leave your last job?
What are your salary expectations?

And finally.

What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favourite colour?
What personal qualities can you bring to the job?
Why should I hire you instead of someone else?
Give me an example of a time that you have . (and then some requisite of the job, eg. 'positively influenced a situation', 'provided oustanding customer service' etc..)

You should start thinking of examples ofhtings you have done that will support why you should get the job.
they will probably ask about your computer skills and your work habits. but alot of time it depends on who is asking the questions.
What ever they ask you, demonstrate that you have a good understanding of the job, some relevant experience and that you enjoy that kind of work. Smile and let them see you're a cool person to work with. Good luck.
they will ask these 2 questions.
1. DO YOU TAKE DRUG?
2. DO YOU WANT YO BUT SOME DRUGS?
what would you class as an achievment in your working career.. and what qualities do you posses that would be good for this postion.what are your bad points..and in some cases what are you prepared to do to get this job !!!
What's your reason for leaving your previous job?
What are your present capabilities that can help you contribute positively in our company?
What's your expected salary?
Are you aware of the job scope for this current job that you are applying for?
Would you grant us permission to speak to your previous employer?
Are there any questions that you need to raise pertaining to this job?
Have ready what your greatest strength and weakness are as well as what you see yourself doing in the future. Study up on as much as you can find out about your prospective employer, and finds moments to interject this knowledge into your answers.
The questions that you obviously can't answer! - and brush up on yer spelling!
they will ask you things like, why you want to work there?
what do you know about the place?
what experience you can bring from other jobs?
how do you like working in a team?
what makes you stand out?
if you went on holidays for a week, what would the team miss about you?
your qualities?
can you take initiative?
what if someone wasnt pulling their weight?
have you ever worked to a deadline?
what if you were given a deadline you know was impossilbe, what you do?

etc. etc. etc.

btw good luck with the interview, they are scary things! but you will be fab as long as you have confidence with yourself, then you can answer every question they throw at you.
Let everything be about THEIR needs, not yours. It is the 1st mark of professionalism. When they say, "do you have any questions?" it is good to HAVE some questions, so work on preparing a few. Best wishes! I hope you get it.
How many sugars do you take?
Beware of trick questions or emotionally loaded answers
why should we choose you? hobbies, skills, education, ambitions etc
Don't worry, they'll probably spend most of the time telling you about the council, which you should have researched anyway.
Are you prepared to do overtime?
Are you likely to get pregnant in the foreseeable future? (Only if you're female)
That's about it. Everything else is on your CV and you should know that off by heart.

I bookmarked that accidentally some time ago, good luck!!
When you filled in your application form there should have been a list of things that you needed to be able to do to fill the post.

Most of the interview questions should be about how you can confirm what you wrote on the application. (So if the job needed you to be able to do minutes at a meeting you might be asked if you had done this before.)

All the job candidates should be asked the same questions.
If you are confident you can do the job just try and relax and answer the questions as fully as possible.

Think of a couple of questions you might want to ask them if you can just in case they ask. The last interview panel I was on I noticed that was the time people froze.

I do recruitment and selection for the NHS and social services. In other words I sit on interview panels I imagine the council will use the same criteria as social services are part of the council. I am a service user/patient.

Hope this helps. :)
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WORTHWHILE OUTSIDE OF EDUCATION THAT MAY HELP YOU IN A FUTURE JOB. HAVING A DEGREE OR ANY OTHER EDUCATION DOES NOT MAKE UP FOR HANDS ON ADVENTURES AND CARE.
I found the biggest one is TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF

“Where do YOU want to be 5 years from now?”
“What salary are you seeking?”
“Tell us about yourself.”
“What is your greatest weakness?”
“How do YOU handle stress?”
“How do you deal with difficult people?”


These are some of the questions I have asked and have been asked
