I have an interview for a 6 month contract admin job for government and was wondering what some of the questions they would ask?

When I got my first job at 16 they asked me things like, "tell me a situation where you helped someone"

Back then I said something like I helped an old lady cross the road lol.

The number one question interviewers are asking these days:
"In this economy, why do you think you deserve this job?"

Followed by:
-What were your previous jobs?
-Where are you living?
-Do you have any experience? etc


The substance of your response to these questions doesn't really matter. What matters is that you don't appear rattled by the question and that you deliver a poised and confident response.

what do you think you can bring to this position/company?

is there anything you''d like to ask US?

do you see yourself as a a team worker?

Tell me a little about yourself: make sure you keep it professional. You can talk about your goals, hobbies, etc.
Describe yourself in three words: make it good traits that employers are looking for. Such as responsible, trustworthy, dependable, friendly, etch.
What are some of your strengths: Here is your chance to brag about yourself. What are you good at? Everyone is good at something. If not you can say that your a really hardworker or that you are a quick-learner!
What are some of your weaknesses: This is a tricky one. You have to make a "negative" into a positive. You can say something like I'm a perfectionist. Or I overwork myself. Make yourself look good.
Why should we hire you: What makes you unique from all the other applicants. Mention your experience or your education.
Are you familiar with our company: When interviewing don't ever go on blind dates. They have a general idea of who you are. You should have one as well. Google the company be informed and ask questions...
One question you should never ask though. Is how much am I going to get paid? Give it time. If you get hired, then you can negotiate an amount.
