The Only 5 Job Interview Questions You MUST Answer.

Forget memorizing answers to all the trick interview questions the interview "advice" books give you.  It's not necessary.  In reality, an interview is just an opportunity for a company to get the answers to 5 rather simple job interview questions. That's right, only five. 

But here's the kicker: If you don't or can't answer any one of these questions to their satisfaction, you will not be hired or brought back for a future interview. 

Here are the questions: 

Knowing this well before you set foot in an interview, here is how to prepare your answers to these questions that will result in your winning either an offer or a follow-up interview:

In general terms, here's what they are looking for in each of these questions:

Why are you here? Tell them what you like or impresses you about this company. Obviously, you need to do your homework and research this company before your interview.

What can you do for us? List what skills seem to you to be needed (assuming of course you have these skills) and cite evidence from your past that would support those skills.

Will you fit in?  Demonstrate how much a team player you are, your specific contributions to the company's mission and cite several successful projects you've been a part of and describe your role in each project's success.

What makes you different? Highlight instances where you have gone the extra mile, put forth extraordinary effort, or successfully overcome unique challenges in your work history that have resulted in a positive outcomes such as winning a major contract, completing a project ahead of schedule or making or exceeding a goal or quota that may have hinged in the balance.

How much will you cost? You don't want to get into a discussion about salary here. If they bring it up, it's only to allay any early anxieties in their mind about whether they can afford you. You only need to demonstrate a willingness to work with them within the confines of their compensation structure at this point. Keep it general here and don't go quoting dollar figures at this stage. If they really want you, they'll find a way to pay you what you're worth at closing.

Summary: Your objective in an interview is to stand out and be remembered from all the other job applicants. By answering these 5 job interview questions in your own unique style, you'll separate yourself from the pack and win either a callback or a job offer.
