10 Practice Interview Questions.
It is important to prepare for your next interview. Often times job seekers are nervous or ill prepared for the questions that interviewers ask. It is a fact that all interviewers ask the same questions easy, simple or difficult.  

We suggest that candidates practice mock interviewing with actual recruiters, the best way to improve your interview skills is to interview. It is okay to apply for positions that are above/or below your current experience. Focus on the opportunity to interview with employers.

Here are some interview questions to help you prepare:
  1. Tell me about a time that you didn't work well with a supervisor. What was the outcome and how would you have changed the outcome?
  2. Have you worked with someone you didn't like? If so, how did you handle it?
  3. How do you get along with older (younger) co-workers? 
  4. Tell me about a time that you worked conveying technical information to a nontechnical audience.
  5. Why do you think you will be successful at this job?
  6. Tell me about a time that you participated in a team, what was your role?
  7. Tell me about a time when you failed. 
  8. What would you do differently if you could start your working life over?
  9. How do you balance life and work?
  10. What is your preferred way to communication - instant message, phone, or email.

Dear Ms. Cummings:

This is in response to your posting for an Advertising Account Executive (Job #45678), which recently appeared in the Detroit Free Press. I am a seasoned advertising professional with more than eight years of experience in creative development, account supervision, and new account development and sales. Most recently, as the primary liaison between three key accounts and the creative team at a midsized advertising agency in Madison, Wisconsin, I have repeatedly demonstrated my ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-sensitive environment. 
 
The details of my educational background and professional experience are highlighted in my resume which, per your request, I have enclosed.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you personally to discuss my qualifications and how I might put them to work for your clients.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Sincerely,
 
Chris Smith
