General HR Interview Questions – Common for All: Q. 31 – 40
Set of Ten Questions
Q. 31: What are you looking for in a job?
You can use the same answers as in Q. 29.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can’t wait to get to work.

Q. 33: What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer.

Q. 35: Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
