Most Common Interview Questions
*****************************************************************
Do you get bored doing the same work over and over again?
以下回答會得高分：
Not really. If the work involves my job, I don’t get bored because it is my responsibility to complete it to the best of my ability. Work is not necessarily entertaining; it is something that must be routinely and successfully accomplished time after time. That’s why they call it “work” and why I am being paid to do it.
If someone gets bored with repetition, he or she might have a serious problem. Sometimes you just have to set your preferences aside and focus on what needs to be done—even if it isn’t something new.
I guess I‘ve always been too busy doing my job to get bored.
If you could be anyone, whom would you like to be?
Now, here‘s a chance to really get unhired if you‘re not careful. Use the answer I‘ve given or modify it to adapt it to your own personality, but don‘t reveal a fantasy that‘s too fantastic. Remember, you’re in an interviewer‘s office, not on your psychotherapist‘s couch. Say something like:
Generally, I‘d say I‘m pretty happy with who I am and what I have done with my life. If I could be anything or anyone I wanted, it would be a person who used (his/her) business skills to make the world a better place. There‘s a great law of life that I try to live: The best way to succeed is by helping others to succeed.
Name three books you‘ve read in the past six months.
