As part of advancing and developing your career, you will encounter many interview questions. As part of this module, we'll discuss some of the best and worst interview questions. How about we start with the worst and end with the best. Worst interview questions. Where do you see yourself in five years or 10 years? Personally, I'm not a fan of this question and vowed never to ask it as an interviewer. I think the intent is to get a feel for the candidates future aspirations. As we know, a lot can change in 5-10 years. Guess what? A piece of advice, don't tell the interviewer you want his or her job. If you were a, say, insert color, song, animal, what would it be? This might seem creative and cute. However, it has nothing to do with how well you perform at your job. Any type of question that leads the interviewee to believe you view them on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. For example, I noticed on your Instagram that you have pictures of the mountains or the beach. Do you travel often and need a lot of vacation time? Basically, this lets the interviewee know that you've searched their social media, and as we know, social media can be a little exaggerating. Of course, there are interview questions that can get companies in all kinds of legal trouble. This question will get a call from an attorney. How old are you? This falls in the category of ageism and is illegal in the United States. Do you have kids or do you have kids in day care or school that you would need to pick up? Even though an employer may need someone to work certain hours, this question is off-limits as it's considered inquiring about family status. This violates the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the United States. Now let's take a look at the best interview questions. What makes you most confident about your current role? As you can imagine, there are different ways to answer this question. I like this question because it gives the interviewee an opportunity to discuss their strengths in their current job and how they could align them with the position being applied for. This can be especially important if you are changing careers or industries. For example, let's say you're a manager in the financial sector and you're applying for a manager's job in the healthcare sector. Even though your experience isn't even in healthcare, you can still discuss your management strengths and how they would apply in this new sector. What are you most proud of professionally or in your most current job? I like this question. Let's face it, we like to talk about ourselves. This question gives the interviewee the opportunity to really open up and show his or her passion. Tell me about how you handled a difficult situation or challenge at your job. I know this is a question that may not like as an interviewee. However, any new job will have challenges that can range from organizational to personalities. This can give the interviewee the opportunity to really show how you can handle difficult situations, and the interviewer how you can fit in with the team and the organization.
