Social Skills - Answering Job Interview Questions

Answering job interview questions is one of the most significant “Real-World Communication” issues we cover, as it involves perspective-taking and how to specifically obtain desired impressions from your interviewer; this resource provides step-by-step instructions and an abundance of examples for how to best answer common job interview questions.

This worksheet offers a comprehensive guide to answering the four most commonly asked questions in job interviews: “tell me about yourself”, “what's your greatest strength?”, “what's your biggest weakness?”, and “why do you want to work here?” It provides a step-by-step series of directions and includes a wide array of answer examples. The worksheet also details how to employ listener presupposition, as understanding the perspective of the interviewer is pivotal when responding to their questions. Specifically, it urges students to consider the impressions they want to leave the interviewer with while explaining how they should answer in order to give those targeted impressions. Roleplaying after going over the worksheet helps students practice real-world applications.
