A
Sample Job Interview

to attend the University of Toronto. In the meanwhile, I want to gain some
work experience and learn about the work environment.

and dependable. I enjoy being around people and feel I can fit into most
job environments quite easily, if given the opportunity.
- Interviewer: What salary do you expect?
- J: I expect to be paid the same salary as anyone else in this company
doing my job gets.
- Interviewer: What are your weakest character traits?
- J: Sometimes I get over-excited about a new project or situation
and go a little overboard. I may as a result wear myself out. However,
I now know I need to pace myself and am working at doing so.
- Interviewer: If you were in my position, why would I want to hire you?
- J: I'm reliable and trustworthy. I'm excited about the position
and want the job.
