15 Contoh Pertanyaan & Jawaban Interview Kerja

1. Ceritakan tentang diri anda! Pertanyaan yang sangat sering muncul pada saat interview kerja. Persiapkan jawaban anda terbatas pada bidang pekerjaan yang anda kuasai sebelumnya. Bicarakan tentang karir anda sebelumnya, prestasi yang anda raih, hobi dan aktivitas terakhir yang anda jalani. 2. Kenapa anda berhenti dari pekerjaan sebelumnya? Jawablah dengan positif jenis pertanyaan ini. Meskipun anda berhenti karena ada masalah dengan perusahaan atau kantor sebelumnya jangan ceritakan permasalahan tersebut. Katakan saja kalau saat ini anda ingin mencari kesempatan kerja yang lebih baik atau peluang melakukan sesuatu yang istimewa dalam karir anda. 3. Pengalaman apa yang anda miliki dalam bidang ini? Jawab se-spesifik mungkin mengenai keahlian anda di bidang yang anda lamar. Jika tidak memiliki pengalaman yang khusus setidaknya berikan jawaban yang mendekati keahlian yang dimaksud. 4. Apakah anda menganggap diri anda sukses? Selalu jawab "Iya" dan antusias untuk pertanyaan ini. Jelaskan keberhasilan yang telah anda capai dalam hidup ini terutama dalam hal karir. 5. Apa yang anda ketahui tentang perusahaan kami? Pertanyaan ini hanya bisa dijawab jika anda telah melakukan penelitian terlebih dahulu tentang perusahaan tempat anda melamar. Jawab tentang aktivitas perusahaan tersebut seperti produk yang dijual atau sistem pemasarannya. 6. Apa yang telah anda lakukan untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan anda terakhir ini? Jawab ragam kegiatan positif yang telah anda lakukan tentu saja yang berhubungan dengan pencapaian karir anda. 7. Kenapa anda tertarik bergabung dengan perusahaan ini? Hati-hati menjawab ini karena memerlukan pengetahuan anda tentang perusahaan dan karir jangka panjang yang ingin anda raih. 8. Berapa gaji yang anda harapkan? Pertanyaan mudah yang sangat sulit menjawabnya karena sangat sensitif. Jadi jangan dijawab. Katakan sambil tersenyum "Pertanyaan yang cukup sulit, namun maaf bisakah Bapak/Ibu menjelaskan kisaran gaji untuk posisi ini?" Biasanya pihak perusahaan akan memberikan rentang gaji yang anda tanyakan. Jika tidak, anda bisa bertanya balik mengenai detail pekerjaan yang akan anda jalani serta tanggung jawabnya, baru kemudian bisa memperkirakan gaji yang anda harapkan plus mempertimbangkan tunjangan-tunjangan lain. Itu pun masih kisaran saja, jadi anda sebelumnya harus tahu kisaran gaji untuk posisi seperti anda. 9. Apakah anda bisa bekerja dalam satu tim? Selalu jawab "Iya" dan sebutkan pengalaman yang pernah anda lakukan saat bekerja sama dengan banyak orang. 10. Jika anda diterima, berapa lama anda ingin bergabung di perusahaan ini? Jawaban jangan terlalu spesifik. Anda bisa menjawab seperti ini " Saya ingin selamanya bisa bekerja di sini dengan catatan perusahaan puas dengan hasil kerja saya". 11. Kenapa kami harus mempekerjakan anda? Jelaskan keahlian atau kemampuan yang anda miliki dan kaitannya dengan kebutuhan perusahaan. Jangan mencontohkan kandidat lain sebagai perbandingan kemampuan anda.

12. Apa kelebihan anda? Pertanyaan yang memerlukan jawaban luas tapi tetap fokus seperti misalnya kemampuan anda dalam memecahkan permasalahan, kemampuan memimpin, perilaku positif anda, kesanggupan bekerja di bawah tekanan atau kemampuan berorganisasi. 13. Apa kelemahan anda? Jangan pernah menjawab kalau anda orang malas atau susah bangun pagi. Jawab dengan diplomatis, seperti "Saya kurang percaya diri jika berbicara di hadapan orang banyak, tapi saat ini saya dalam proses mengatasinya karena ini sangat berkaitan dengan karir saya ke depan dan saya yakin bisa mengatasi hal ini", atau "Kelemahan saya kurang bisa bekerja sendiri, jadi harus membangun teamwork yang solid". Intinya setelah mengatakan kelemahan anda, sertakan usaha yang telah anda lakukan untuk mengatasi kelemahan anda tersebut. 14. Apakah anda bersedia kerja lembur kapan saja bila diperlukan? Jawaban untuk ini ada di anda. Jawablah dengan jujur dan berikan alasan yang tepat. 15. Apakah anda ada pertanyaan untuk saya? Selalu siapkan pertanyaan anda.
