1. Tell me about yourself?
This is probably the most asked question
in retail interview. It breaks the ice and
gets you to talk about something you
should be fairly comfortable with. Have
something prepared that doesn't sound
rehearsed. It's not about you telling your
life story and quite frankly, the
interviewer just isn't interested. Unless
asked to do so, stick to your education,
career and current situation. Work
through it chronologically from the
furthest back to the present.

2. Walk me through a cash flow statement?
Start with net income, go line by line through
major adjustments (depreciation, changes in
working capital and deferred taxes) to arrive
at cash flows from operating activities.
Mention capital expenditures, asset sales,
purchase of intangible assets, and
purchase/sale of investment securities to
arrive at cash flow from investing
activities.
Mention repurchase/issuance of debt and
equity and paying out dividends to arrive
at cash flow from financing activities.
Adding cash flows from operations, cash
flows from investments, and cash flows
from financing gets you to total change of
cash.
Beginning-of-period cash balance plus
change in cash allows you to arrive at end-
of-period cash balance.

3. What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't?
What makes you unique? This will take
an assessment of your experiences, skills
and traits. Summarize concisely: "I have a
unique combination of strong technical
skills, and the ability to build strong
customer relationships. This allows me to
use my knowledge and break down
information to be more user-friendly."

4. Is it possible for a company to show positive cash flows
but be in grave trouble?
Absolutely. Two examples involve
unsustainable improvements in working
capital (a company is selling off inventory
and delaying payables), and another
example involves lack of revenues going
forward.in the pipeline

5. Buy a piece of equipment, walk me through the impact on
the 3 financial statements
Initially, there is no impact (income
statement); cash goes down, while PP&E
goes up (balance sheet), and the
purchase of PP&E is a cash outflow (cash
flow statement)

Over the life of the asset: depreciation

reduces net income (income statement);
PP&E goes down by depreciation, while
retained earnings go down (balance
sheet); and depreciation is added back
(because it is a non-cash expense that
reduced net income) in the cash from
operations section (cash flow statement).

6. What is a deferred tax liability and why might one be
created?
Deferred tax liability is a tax expense amount
reported on a companys income statement
that is not actually paid to the IRS in that
time period, but is expected to be paid in the
future. It arises because when a company
actually pays less in taxes to the IRS than
they show as an expense on their income
statement in a reporting period.

Differences in depreciation expense between

book reporting (GAAP) and IRS reporting can
lead to differences in income between the
two, which ultimately leads to differences in
tax expense reported in the financial
statements and taxes payable to the IRS.

7. How can your previous co-workers describe you?
This will be testing the way you relate
with the people you work with since
most retailing businesses employ several
members of staff. Mention a number of
your strong traits like enthusiasm, wide
knowledge, keenness to show yourself a
team player.

8. Why are you interested in working with us?
Mention the achievements or state how
successful the company has been and
express how you will be delighted to be
associated with such. Also mention how
you plan to help the company reach
greater heights.

9. How well do you understand what we sell?
This is where you should have done some
intensive research about the company.
Mention the products or services offered,
states where they have branches and
common consumers among other things.

10. How do you plan to cover up in areas where you are not
experienced?
State some skills you already have and
elaborate on how these will help you to
learn the new skills easily. This is a valid
question because you will need to be
knowledgeable on all products that you
will be selling.

11. How flexible are you in terms of working hours?
Retailing may require you to be working
during very odd hours including late night
and even overnight. Simply say that you
do not have schedule restrictions.

12. What are your aspirations beyond this job?
Again, don't fall into the trap of specifying
job titles. Stick to a natural progression you
see as plausible. How should this job grow
for the good of the organization? Then turn
your attention once again to the job at hand.
If you seem too interested in what lies
beyond this job, the interviewer will fear that
you won't stick around for long.
Sample Answer: Beyond this job as a
marketing assistant, I see myself moving up
through marketing analysis into brand
management and eventually running a
category. I'm aware that there are several
skills I need to develop in the interval, and I
believe with your continuing-education
program and my own motivation for self-
improvement, I'll have those skills when the
opportunities arise for greater responsibility.
That's why I'm determined to learn from the
ground up, starting as a marketing assistant.

13. What is your biggest achievement?
If possible, think work related. There will
hopefully be a number of things you are
most proud of in your career to date.
Think about your key achievements; were
they commercial, people or process
orientated? What was the cause and
effect? How were you involved, what was
improved, saved or developed?

If you are short on career-based

examples, use personal achievements
which demonstrate the commercial skills
required for the role, such as team work,
commitment, empathy, determination,
attention to detail, etc.

14. How do you handle stressful situations and working
under pressure?
There are several ways of addressing this
one. You may be the sort of person that
works well under pressure; you may even
thrive under pressure. Whatever the case,
make sure you don't say you panic. You
want to give specific examples of
stressful situations and how well you
dealt with them. You may also want to list
a few tools you use to help you, such as
to-do lists, etc. It is alright to say that you
will ask for assistance when the job is
more than what you can handle. It is
equally acceptable to say that you work
best under pressure if this is indeed the
case and relevant to the particular role.

15. What relevant experience do you have?
Hopefully if you're applying for this
position you have bags of related
experience, and if that's the case you
should mention it all. But if you're
switching careers or trying something a
little different, your experience may
initially not look like it's matching up.
That's when you need a little honest
creativity to match the experiences
required with the ones you have. People
skills are people skills after all, you just
need to show how customer service skills
can apply to internal management
positions, and so on.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
16. Why do you want this finance job?
Again, companies want to hire people
who are passionate about the job, so you
should have a great answer about why
you want the position. (And if you don't?
You probably should apply elsewhere.)
First, identify a couple of key factors that
make the role a great fit for you (e.g., I
love customer support because I love the
constant human interaction and the
satisfaction that comes from helping
someone solve a problem"), then share
why you love the company (e.g., Ive
always been passionate about education,
and I think you guys are doing great
things, so I want to be a part of it).

17. What have you learned from mistakes on the finance
job?
Candidates without specific examples often
do not seem credible. However, the example
shared should be fairly inconsequential,
unintentional, and a learned lesson should
be gleaned from it. Moving ahead without
group assistance while assigned to a group
project meant to be collaborative is a good
example.

18. What challenges are you looking for in this finance
position?
A typical interview question to determine what you
are looking for your in next job, and whether you
would be a good fit for the position being hired for,
is "What challenges are you looking for in a
position?"
The best way to answer questions about the
challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you
would like to be able to effectively utilize your
skills and experience if you were hired for the job.
You can also mention that you are motivated by
challenges, have the ability to effectively meet
challenges, and have the flexibility and skills
necessary to handle a challenging job.
You can continue by describing specific examples
of challenges you have met and goals you have
achieved in the past.

19. Describe a typical work week for finance position?
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to
discuss what they do while they are working in
detail. Before you answer, consider the position
you are applying for and how your current or past
positions relate to it. The more you can connect
your past experience with the job opening, the
more successful you will be at answering the
questions.
It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk
about non-work related activities that you do on
company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how
they are often late because they have to drive a
child to school or like to take a long lunch break to
work at the gym.
Keep your answers focused on work and show the
interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I
do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and
email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.")
and efficient.

20. What is your biggest weakness?
No one likes to answer this question because it
requires a very delicate balance. You simply cant
lie and say you dont have one; you cant trick the
interviewer by offering up a personal weakness
that is really a strength (Sometimes, I work too
much and dont maintain a work-life balance.);
and you shouldnt be so honest that you throw
yourself under the bus (Im not a morning person
so Im working on getting to the office on time.)
Think of a small flaw like I sometimes get
sidetracked by small details, I am occasionally
not as patient as I should be with subordinates or
co-workers who do not understand my ideas, or I
am still somewhat nervous and uncomfortable with
my public-speaking skills and would like to give
more presentations and talk in front of others or in
meetings. Add that you are aware of the problem
and you are doing your best to correct it by taking
a course of action.

21. Why should the we hire you as finance position?
This is the part where you link your skills,
experience, education and your personality to the
job itself. This is why you need to be utterly
familiar with the job description as well as the
company culture. Remember though, its best to
back them up with actual examples of say, how
you are a good team player.
It is possible that you may not have as much skills,
experience or qualifications as the other
candidates. What then, will set you apart from
the rest? Energy and passion might. People are
attracted to someone who is charismatic, who
show immense amount of energy when they talk,
and who love what it is that they do. As you
explain your compatibility with the job and
company, be sure to portray yourself as that
motivated, confident and energetic person, ever-
ready to commit to the cause of the company.

22. What do you know about our company?
Follow these three easy research tips before your next
job interview:
1) Visit the company website; look in the about us
section and careers sections
2) Visit the companys LinkedIn page (note, you must
have a LinkedIn account its free to sign up) to view
information about the company
3) Google a keyword search phrase like press releases
followed by the company name; youll find the most
recent news stories shared by the company
Remember, just because you have done your
homework, it does not mean you need to share ALL of
it during the interview! Reciting every fact youve
learned is almost as much of a turn off as not knowing
anything at all! At a minimum, you should include the
following in your answer:
1. What type of product or service the company sells
2. How long the company has been in business
3. What the company culture is like OR what the
company mission statement is, and how the culture
and/or mission relate to your values or personality

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
23. Why do you want to work with us?
More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see
how much you know about the company culture,
and whether you can identify with the
organizations values and vision. Every
organization has its strong points, and these are the
ones that you should highlight in your answer. For
example, if the company emphasizes on integrity
with customers, then you mention that you would
like to be in such a team because you yourself
believe in integrity.
It doesnt have to be a lie. In the case that your
values are not in line with the ones by the
company, ask yourself if you would be happy
working there. If you have no issue with that, go
ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture
and realize that there is some dilemma you might
be facing, you ought to think twice. The best
policy is to be honest with yourself, and be honest
with the interviewer with what is it in the company
culture that motivates you.

24. Did the salary we offer attract you to this finance job?
The interviewer could be asking you this
question for a number of reasons.
Obviously, the salary is an important factor
to your interest in this job, but it should not
be the overriding reason for your interest. A
good answer to this question is, The salary
was very attractive, but the job itself is what
was most attractive to me.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
25. Do you have any questions to ask us?
Never ask Salary, perks, leave, place of
posting, etc. regarded questions.
Try to ask more about the company to show
how early you can make a contribution to
your organization like
Sir, with your kind permission I would like
to know more about induction and
developmental programs?
OR
Sir, I would like to have my feedback, so that
I can analyze and improve my strengths and
rectify my shortcomings.

1. Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job
Opportunity.
Success in a job interview starts with a
solid foundation of knowledge on the job-
seeker's part. You should understand the
employer, the requirements of the job,
and the background of the person (or
people) interviewing you. The more
research you conduct, the more you'll
understand the employer, and the better
you'll be able to answer interview
questions.

2. Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare
Responses.
Another key to interview success is preparing
responses to expected interview questions. First,
inquire as to the type of interview to expect
(which you can do by asking your contact person
at the organization). Your goal is composing
detailed yet concise responses, focusing on
specific examples and accomplishments. A good
tool for remembering your responses is to put
them into story form that you can tell in the
interview. No need to memorize responses (in
fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking
points.

3.Tailor your story to the job.
Tailor your story to the jobApplying your story to a
specific employer or job is the next step. Lining up
the stories that apply to the opportunity at hand is
critical. Put yourself in the interviewers shoes and
pose the questions you would ask. Which stories
are relevant to this job interview? Think about
personal stories that show how you handled
change, made choices under pressure, or learned
lessons from mistakes and failures. You should
also think about stories you can tell in the
interview that reveal your skill set.

Learning and appreciating your story is a

prerequisite to any interview process. Dont rely on
your ability to think on your feet. Anticipate the
questions and have answers at the ready. In the
end, this is about making a great and memorable
impression that demonstrates competency and
ability.

4. Dress for Success.
Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and
its culture, striving for the most professional
appearance you can accomplish. Remember that
it's always better to be overdressed than under --
and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and
pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a
minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the
interview -- and if possible, brush your teeth or use
mouthwash.

5. Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success
There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an
interview -- other than some sort of disaster. Strive
to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled
interview to complete additional paperwork and
allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit
early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of
the workplace.

The day before the interview, pack up extra copies

of your resume or CV and reference list. If you
have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring
those along too. Finally, remember to pack several
pens and a pad of paper to jot notes.

Finally, as you get to the offices, shut off your cell

phone. (And if you were chewing gum, get rid of
it.)

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
6. Make Good First Impressions -- to Everyone You Encounter
A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer
warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking
attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager.
Employers often are curious how job applicants treat
staff members -- and your job offer could easily be
derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.

When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first
impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first
few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an
interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing
well (see #3), arriving early (see #4), and when
greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye
contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bone-
crushing) handshake.

Remember that having a positive attitude and

expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are
vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show
that hiring managers make critical decisions about job
applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.

7. Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits
While the content of your interview responses is
paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at
best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst.

Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact,

solid posture, active listening, nodding.

Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking

off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair,
brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum,
mumbling.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
8. Ask Insightful Questions
Studies continually show that employers make a
judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by
whether or not the interviewee asks questions.
Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in
his or her discussions about the job opening and
what is expected, you must ask a few questions.

The smart job-seeker prepares questions to ask

days before the interview, adding any additional
queries that might arise from the interview.

 9. Sell Yourself Throughout and then Close the Deal
An adage in interviewing says the most qualified
applicant is not always the one who is hired --
which means the hired candidate is often the
job-seeker who does the best job in responding
to interview questions and showcasing his or her
fit with the job, department, and organization.

Some liken the job interview to a sales call. You

are the salesperson -- and the product you are
selling to the employer is your ability to fill the
organization's needs, solve its problems, propel
its success.

Finally, as the interview winds down, ask about

the next steps in the process and the timetable
the employer expects to use to make a decision
about the position. If you are applying for a sales
job -- or a position requiring equivalent
aggressiveness -- consider asking for the job at
the end of the interview.

10. Be Authentic, Upbeat, Focused, Confident, Candid, and Concise.
Once the interview starts, the key to success is the
quality and delivery of your responses. Your goal
should always be authenticity, responding
truthfully to interview questions. At the same
time, your goal is to get to the next step, so you'll
want to provide focused responses that showcase
your skills, experience, and fit -- with the job and
the employer. Provide solid examples of solutions
and accomplishments -- but keep your responses
short and to the point.
By preparing responses to common interview
questions (see #2), you'll ideally avoid long,
rambling responses that bore interviewers.
Always attempt to keep your interview responses
short and to the point.
Finally, no matter how much an interviewer
might bait you, never badmouth a previous
employer, boss, or co-worker. The interview is
about you -- and making your case that you are
the ideal candidate for the job.

11.Focus more on what you can do for the company, rather
than what they can do for you
At the beginning of the job interview process, someone has
to assume the role of the seller, and someone has to be the
buyer.
You're the seller at this early stage of the process.
As the interview progresses you will eventually be
asked: Do you have any questions for us?
Its a bad idea to say, no, I cant think of anything. Its also a
bad idea to have a grocery list of interview questions a mile
long.
Appropriate Job Interview Questions to Ask Your
Interviewers
How would you describe a typical day in this position?
In my first 90 days on the job, whats my first priority?
What is one of the most difficult challenges facing your
department?
Is this a new position, or am I replacing someone?
Whats the companys strategy for generating new
business?
What is your management style like?

12.Bring examples of your work
Use the power of the printed word to your
advantage. As an executive recruiter, I cant
tell you the number of times Ive been called
by a hiring manager after an interview, and
told how impressed they were with one of my
candidates who brought examples of their
work.
Most job seekers fail to do this in preparing
for a job interview. This one job interview tip
alone will set you apart from other
candidates.
Idea: Some job seekers bring a copy of their
most recent written evaluation to the
interview. Obviously, you should only do this
if your evaluation is outstanding.
The power of the printed word applies here as
well. If you share your strengths with your
interviewers, it's duly noted. If one of your
bosses said those same things about you...it's
gospel.
Another great example of your work is any
chart or graph that illustrates specifically how
you saved the company time or money...or
how you made the company money.

13.Dont bring up salary or benefits during the first
interview
The interviewing process is a 2-way
street. Just as the company is evaluating
you, you are evaluating them.
A job change is a big deal and you should
know things like how the 401K plan
works, how the bonus is figured, what is
their vacation policy, and what kind of
benefits they provide.
However...
It is interviewing suicide to ask these
questions during the first interview. The
appropriate time to ask these questions is
after the company has decided to extend
you an offer.
Once a company has decided that they
must have you on their team, then it is
timely and appropriate for you to ask
these kinds of questions.

14. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail
As you have already seen from previous
tips, common courtesy and politeness go
far in interviewing; thus, the importance
of thanking each person who interviews
you should come as no surprise. Start the
process while at the interview, thanking
each person who interviewed you.
Writing thank-you emails and notes
shortly after the interview will not get you
the job offer, but doing so will certainly
give you an edge over any of the other
finalists who did not bother to send
thank-you's.
