Open-Ended and Closed-Ended Job Interview Questions
Open-Ended Job Interview Questions:
The
one thing to keep in mind with an open-ended question is that you need to give
the interviewer more than a yes or no answer. If you do the research
beforehand, you will be in a position to adequately open-ended question.
Closed-Ended Job Interview Questions:
There are
times when an interviewer will need to know a specific piece of information and
only require a brief response. My tip is to always answer the question directly
in a brief, but complete sentence – never just in a one word answer.
Examples:
Q: Have
you finished your bachelor degree?
A: Yes I
did – I have a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Finance, from the
University of XYZ.
Q: How
many years of experience do you have as a truck driver?
A: This is
my 6th year as a qualified truck driver with company XYZ.
Q: Are you
proficient in using Microsoft Excel?
A: I am an advanced Microsoft Excel user and am also proficient in all Microsoft programs including Word and PowerPoint.
