Job Search in Kalispell

Interviews are a crucial part of any job search. At Express Employment Professionals Kalispell, we work closely with job seekers to get them ready for job interviews, including how to answer common questions. If you're starting a job search in Kalispell, we can get you ready for some of the toughest questions asked during interviews.

Below are three of the most common questions you can expect during your job search, with tips from our staffing experts on how to answer each one.

Tips for Interview Questions During Your Job Search

1. What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?  This is one of the most common questions asked during interviews. It's also one of the most difficult. In fact, job seekers routinely say it's the toughest question to answer.

To ace this question, we suggest being honest about your weaknesses. Don't cheat by saying you're a perfectionist or that you work too hard. Instead, demonstrate that you're aware of your limitations and highlight the ways you compensate for your shortcomings.

Meanwhile, when you talk about your strengths, reinforce your answer with examples. Bring up key tasks and activities where your strengths have allowed you to excel.

2. Why are you leaving your current position?  This can be another tricky question for job seekers. If you don't have an answer ready, it's easy to come across as overly critical of your previous employer. That usually reflects much more poorly on you as a candidate.

If you're dissatisfied with your current position, think ahead and find a polite and professional way to convey this. For example, if you don't like your boss or coworkers, you can always say you weren't the right fit for the company's culture.

Whichever way you answer this question, try to end it on a positive and forward-thinking note. Rather than dwelling on the past, pivot to why this new opportunity is so exciting.

3. Why do you want to work for this company?  During an interview, you'll spend a lot of time talking about yourself. But it's important that you also focus on the company and the position.

When you're asked why you want to work for this company, there are two things you'll want to keep in mind. First, you'll want to show you've done your research and that you have a firm grasp of their mission, values, and culture. Second, you'll want to frame your answer in terms of how your goals align with the company's. Frame things as a win/win situation for you and the company.
