Marketing Assistant

This can be a tough question that will put you on the spot. When responding be polite, diplomatic and give a good business related answer.

☛ I can't really give you a accurate answer because at this time I don't know the scope of the job, it's responsibilities, hours etc.

☛ The job I perform, the salary I receive and the circumstances at my current company are not really comparable to the opportunity we are discussing today. However when I consider my skill sets, academic qualifications and work experience.

Of course you do. You believe in learning on the job and getting involved from the start. You want to be part of the action from the outset and start making positive changes from the day you start in the new job.

Try to link what you like to any of the requirements of the job you are applying for. Also keep in mind that you are looking to leave your present jobs so don't make a big list.

☛ It provides me with constant new challenges to test my abilities.

☛ Communicating and meeting with new people.

☛ Able to use your initiative.

☛ Working as part of a team.

Remember not to directly criticize or be negative about the company, managers or supervisors. Instead find other general issues to focus on.

☛ Sometimes it is difficult for me to get a sense of my own achievement in a big company like my present employer.

☛ There are very few opportunities for advancement with my present employer who are a small company.

What NOT to mention:

☛ Overtime issues.

☛ Salary expectations.

There is only one answer for this:

Say that you thrive in a team environment and that you enjoy working with others on projects and believe that working as a team allows you to achieve far more than is possible alone.
