Best Answer: The best way to respond is to describe your responsibilities in detail and to connect them to the job you are interviewing for. Tie your responsibilities in with those listed in the job description for the new position. That way, the employer will see that you have the qualifications necessary to do the job. Focus most on your responsibilities that are directly related to the new job’s requirements. It’s also important, to be honest, and accurate. Don’t embellish your job, because you don’t know who the hiring manager will be checking with when they check your references.

What can you do for this company? – A typical interview question to discover what assets you have that are specific to the company’s goals is “What can you do for this company?” First of all, be sure to have researched the company prior to the interview, so you are familiar with the company’s mission.

Best Answer: Start by researching the company online. Review the “About Us” section of the company web site. Google the company, read blogs that mention it, and check Discussion Boards and social networking sites. Use the information you have gathered to create a bulleted list of relevant information that you can easily remember during the interview. Taking the time to research will help you make a good impression of how much you know about the company.

Catherine, thank you for all the information on your blog. I got all what I needed to put my CV together and prepare for an interview from here. I promised to drop by your blog and write you a comment if and when I secure an appointment. So, guess what? Here I am. You’d be glad to know that I got a job today. Thank you for running this joint!!!!!

It’s a nice article. Additionally, the factor you must to remember is interviewing as a method for selecting an ideal candidate is an inherently flawed process. This is because it is almost impossible to judge a candidate’s true aptitude and experience in a job interview. However, job interviews allow the employer to decide with which candidate he or she is most comfortable.
I disagree with John, the previous person to comment. Interviews are the most statistically reliable form of selecting someone for a job, and should definitely form a part of every recruitment methodology. If you are basing your selection of a candidate on who you are ‘comfortable’ with, then yes, your method is flawed!
