相信大家一定在MONSTER上都做过这个测试，我觉的细读每个问题的解释还是很有帮助。把这些常见问题搬过来，再次和大家仔细咀嚼一下。

1.Tell me about yourself and your past experience.

I was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington. I got married, started a family, and moved to California. My degree is in computer science. I've worked eight years for the same company and have been promoted twice. I'm now looking for something challenging.

This answer is not the best answer.

Too much personal information is given. Your marital status and the fact that you have children, are considered off-limits or illegal to ask in an interview, so there is no need to volunteer the information. Be careful of giving information that is unnecessary or irrelevant to the question.

I've always been good at, and liked, working with computers. I didn't finish my degree, but I've worked in different companies in a variety of situations and have received excellent performance reviews. I am a high-energy person. I work independently, and I like a fast-paced environment.

This is not the best answer.

Many of the comments are vague and general. Don't volunteer negative information, and if asked about your degree, present it in a positive light. With more specifics this answer could reveal a lot more experience, skills and personal traits. Try to speak the language of the industry. What requirements are they seeking? Look at job listings on Monster.com for examples.

I have four years experience working in the high tech industry. For the past two years, I have been working as a Web developer. I have experience with most of the software programs on the server side: Javascript, ASP, VB, HTML and SQL Server. I am very organized and able to do multiple projects at once. I want to work in a cutting-edge company where I can add my experience to the mix and be a part of a growing team.

This is the best answer.

By emphasizing specific examples of knowledge-based skills, transferable skills, and personal traits, you give the interviewer a summary or snapshot of yourself. Speak the jargon of the industry.

2.Why did you leave your last position?

The company went through a reorganization, and I was one of 50 people who was let go. We could see the handwriting on the wall beforehand. There were some poor management decisions, and things had started to deteriorate. They even began cutting out some of our perks. I probably would have left eventually anyway

This is not the best answer.

Being laid off is not the problem. It is common for companies to go through reorganization or mergers. The problem is the attitude behind the answer. Bad-mouthing your former employer and complaining about the way things were handled is not appropriate in an interview.

I'm not finding the job as interesting or challenging as I used to. I've been dealing with the same issues and problems for a long time. I want to find a job that is stimulating, where I can grow and learn. I'm looking for job satisfaction. I want to have more balance in my life.

This is not the best answer.

This answer is somewhat negative. Not finding the work interesting may be a reflection of your ability to advance or move out before it became boring. The answer focuses on your vision of the perfect job: to grow, and be challenged, have job satisfaction and balance. The answer would be stronger if it focused on your goals and what you had to offer to the employer.

I've set some goals for myself and my career, and unfortunately, I'm at a standstill in my current situation. I have begun to explore options available before I spend too much time in a job where I cannot advance. My goal is to continue to improve myself so that I can eventually be a project manager.

This is the best answer.

This answer indicates planning and thinking proactively. Sometimes things happen in careers that are out of your control, but at other times, planning gives you more power over your future.

3.What are your strengths and weaknesses?

My strength is that I am a hardworker. My weakness is that I get impatient when systems don't work.

This is not the best answer.

The answer is flat and unimaginative. Almost everyone thinks they work hard. Think about your strengths before the interview. Weaknesses are very difficult to admit in an interview. It is best to have an answer ready, just in case. By not coming up with an answer, you demonstrate a lack of self-knowledge.

I don't really have any weakness that I can think of. Maybe I could use more technical training. My strengths are probably in my ability to deal with technical problems. I usually don't get upset easily, even when I've had to handle some difficult situations. I am fairly easygoing.

This is not the best answer.

This answer leads with the weakness and then dodges the issue. The strengths are good qualities, but stated in a vague way: maybe, probably, usually, and fairly. Make your quality statement firm and believable. The words you choose to describe yourself can make a difference.

My strengths are in my ability to learn quickly. I've seen a lot of changes in the technical industry. I've had to adjust and learn new programs several times. As far as weaknesses, I really enjoy my work, and sometimes I put in too much time. But by being aware of my tendency to overwork, I have learned to pace myself more and work smarter.

This is the best answer.

This answer gives specific examples of strengths, not just the skill. One of the most important traits employers are looking for is the ability to be flexible and learn new things as changes arise. The weakness question is handled best by leading with a positive statement, slipping in a negative and ending on a positive note.

4.What are your salary expectations?

I was making $75,000 at my last job. I was due for a raise, so I would expect at least that and a 20 to 30 percent increase.

This answer is not the best.

By being the first one to mention a figure, you have set the stage. It would be better to find out the company's range before stating a number. You may have just talked yourself out of a job, depending on the amount allocated for this position.

I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary. I'd like to postpone that discussion until later. Could you tell me what is budgeted for the position?

This is the best answer.

Postpone the discussion about salary until you have all the facts. You need all the information possible before making a decision. Not only the base salary, but other factors that would be important to you: stock options, 401k matching, benefits, salary review schedules, etc.

I'm sure whatever you offer will be a fair amount for a person with my qualifications. Salary is not the most important factor to me. I'm looking for opportunity.

This is the not the best answer.

This answer gives all the power to the employer. It is important that you research the worth of a similar position before going to the interview. Check out Monster.com's Salary Center for information. You must also know your bottom line or walk-away point.

5.When have you been most motivated?

During my first job at a startup company I had to undergo some rigorous training to understand the product and customer. At the same time, we were actually working with the customer. It required a lot of self-direction and motivation. I thrived on the whole experience -- the discipline, the planning and the deadlines. It was a pressure cooker, but I got through it.
