As a part of my coaching process, and because of my recent application for a "I-want-it-so-much-so-fingers-crossed" role, I have to do some research and prepare well for a theoretical job interview.
I found lots of questions, which appear quite often during interviews. My task is to write down my answers to them, in order to be not only well prepared in the future, but also to find out a bit more about myself, recognize my skills, my weaknesses, think about about examples of different kinds of situations, about which the interviewer might ask. And to gain self-confidence :)
It's a difficult and kind of a funny process. I have to find the balance between being extremely honest and the expectations of the interviewer about my answer, hehe.
For example, there is a question if I check my email and voicemail "while on vacation". Of course not. Only if I need to contact my family, or I am expecting a message from them. But, as the online advisor says, it is good to mention that in case of emergencies I would be avaiable, and able to help.
I wonder how many people actually say that kind of things during their interviews. If all of them do, maybe a different answer would be such a surprise that I would get extra points?
For stating that I would never answer a phone call from work during holiday? I don't think so ;)
