Sample Interview Questions

Interviewing Skills are critical to the job search process and Scottsdale Job Nework members are encouraged to practice informational interviews, networking interviews, telephone interviews and face to face interviews including individual interviews, panel interviews and behavioral interviews.

Sample Interview Questions for practice by job seekers, hiring managers, employers and recruiters.

Use these examples of common questions used during interviews to practice your interviewing skills. You can write out your answer, leave it here as a comment, or practice with a friend or colleague.

Have you ever had to fire people? What were the reasons, and how did you handle the situation?

Admit that the situation was not easy, but say that it worked out well, both for the company and, you think, for the individual. Show that, like anyone else, you don't enjoy unpleasant tasks but that you can resolve them efficiently and -in the case of firing someone- humanely.
