Excerpted from From
Here to There by Larry Stuenkel
These questions
are similar to what you can expect during a real interview. Being
prepared will enable you to think on your feet.
The suggested replies, excerpted from From Here to There
by Larry Stuenkel, aren't intended to give you one correct answer.
Rather, the answers should reflect your personal frame of reference,
based on your motives, goals, work skills and aspirations. The replies
are meant to stimulate your thinking, not to be memorized.
Q. What is most important to you about your job? Why?
This question is asking what your values and feelings are about
work. Keep your answer directed toward work. Stay away from benefits
and the money/salary issue, and center your answer on what the required
work skills are for the position. For example: "I feel that the
responsibilities of. .. and the responsibilities of. .. are important.
Specifically I have. .. (give examples)."
